With a prestigious career spanning over three decades, she has not only sculpted the contours of the industry but also established CHAI Beauty Academy LLC, illuminating the path for future beauty professionals.

Beginning our illustrious journey in 1988, China's dedication and prowess led her to establish the iconic "Salon Salon" in the elite River North Gold Coast neighborhood. For over 30 years, this establishment has been a beacon for global celebrities and Chicago's elite and a testament to China's unmatched expertise and commitment to unparalleled service.

In 2014, recognizing the evolving dynamics of the beauty industry, China launched "Chicago Hair Imports Inc." seamlessly merging the physical and digital realms of beauty retail. Today, it is a leading destination for premium beauty products, both in-store and online at www.chihairimports.com.

Professionals from diverse corners of the world seek her mentorship, evident from the certification courses she offers at “Chicago Hair Imports". Such is the demand that China is now contemplating expanding her teaching arena.
