Tracey has an older brother named Eric and an identical twin sister named Stacey. \u00a0Tracey&#8217;s passion for cosmetology began at an early age.\u00a0 As a little girl, she and her twin sister spent a vast amount of time in the beauty shop.\u00a0 She remembers sitting for what felt like hours in the salon chair to get her hair pressed.\u00a0 Although she was never excited about getting her hair pressed, she was always interested in the skill it took to style and care for hair.\u00a0 Like most people, Tracey styled her dolls&#8217; and as she got older she did her family and friends&#8217; hair.\u00a0 While in college Tracey was a member of Couture Productions, a modeling troop on campus.\u00a0 As a member she had the opportunity to do hair for all of their fashion shows.\u00a0 She truly enjoyed this experience because it allowed her to create styles that would not necessarily be worn on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tracey studied Cosmetology at Aveda Institute &#8211; Chapel Hill where she was fortunate enough to learn from a diverse group of talented instructors and where she received her licensure.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1648\" src=\"https:\/\/maneedits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-23-at-9.38.01-PM-300x180.png\" alt=\"BIO\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maneedits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-23-at-9.38.01-PM-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/maneedits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-23-at-9.38.01-PM-250x150.png 250w, https:\/\/maneedits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-23-at-9.38.01-PM.png 355w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> Over the <a href=\"https:\/\/maneedits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/TSFeature-e1345076943665.png\"><br \/>\n<\/a>past nine years as a licensed cosmetologist, Tracey has continued expanding her knowledge of the industry, has gained experience working with different textures of hair, achieved certification in hair weaving\/hair extensions and has increased her presence in bridal hair.\u00a0 Tracey&#8217;s work has been seen on the runways of <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a title=\"MBFW\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mbfashionweek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week &#8211;
