Angie Sapanaro

Twenty-five years ago, Angie Sapanaro felt a pull to enroll in cosmetology school instead of following in her family’s culinary footsteps. Although she can’t quite place what made her go the hair route, she fell in love with a career in beauty and never looked back.

 Fast-forward two+ decades and Angie has developed a master-level comfort with cutting, coloring, special-occasion styling and bridal work, as well as multi-method tape, strand-by-strand and weft extensions. She has attended advanced education from many of the industry’s major brands, has traveled the country attending beauty shows and has served as a national educator.

 Whether it’s a subtle enhancement of a client’s natural color or a creative transformation, Angie loves helping her clients look and feel their best.

 Since joining the Thrive Hair Collective team in 2022, Angie feels like she found her hair home. She loves Thrive’s no-compromise culture, collaborative environment and focus on approachable luxury.

When not at the salon, you can find Angie dancing to nearly any kind of music, hanging out with her cat Kitty or her corgi London, or enjoying some of Chicago’s best restaurants.
