Ilka Bird

Owner / Stylist

At the age of 16, I realized I had passion for bringing the natural beauty out of people. I am a Brooklyn, New York native. I grew up around style, beauty and glamour! So I try to give that look to all my clients of all ages. In June 2007, I opened Get Gorgeous Salon. The salon is located in the Historic Rondo Neighborhood of St. Paul. At Get Gorgeous, we pride ourselves on being a multicultural salon with family love vibes. We try to make all feel welcome with a range of ages that come to Get Gorgeous!
