Tracie has been in the beauty industry for over 27 years. She received her training in Cosmetology from Riverside Community College. She graduated from Riverside Community College with an Associate of Science degree in Cosmetology. After being licensed as a cosmetologist in 1993, Tracie opened Make It Happen Private Salon where she has had the pleasure of servicing thousands of satisfied clients.
 
Tracie has always had a passion for hair care. Her love for the industry was passed down to her by her mother and grandmother who were both beauticians. After many years of working behind the chair, Tracie decided to respond to the recommendation of her sophomore cosmetology instructor to become a Cosmetology Instructor as well. In 2005 Tracie began her teaching career at Riverside Community College. After teaching for over 6 years, she decided to embark on a new interest specializing in hair loss.
 
Her new interest in hair loss developed when several of her cosmetology clients were experiencing hair loss and she had no answers or solutions for them. After referring them to dermatologists, many were not seeing viable improvements, so she set out to find answers. With a single web search on hair loss, Tracie began to embark on this new journey that would lead her to training to become a Certified Trichologist. She enrolled in the International Association of Trichologist under the direction of one of the leaders in the hair loss industry, David Salinger from Sydney Australia. The Trichology course Tracie took has been used worldwide and was developed at the University of Southern California under the guidance of David Salinger. Tracie is an IAT Certified Trichologist and a member of International Association of Trichologists. Tracie is an Educator, Hair Loss Expert and Author.  She has also had the opportunity to write and publish her first book called Activate Your Hair Follicles: A Comprehensive Guide to Solving your Hair Loss and Scalp Problems. The book provides additional information for those who may be experiencing hair loss or scalp issues to prevent them from suffering in silence. 
 
Tracie has dedicated her later years in the beauty industry to assisting men, women, and children in taking control and finding solutions for their hair loss and scalp challenges and concerns.
