Hello everyone! My name is Selah Wilson and I am the owner of GingerSnips! I grew up in Kansas Illinois until my junior year of high school when I moved to Arcola Illinois. I graduated from Arcola High School and lived there for two years.
After high school, I attended Cosmetology school at Lakeland College. I spent one year working as a hairstylist and makeup artist at Serendipity Hair Salon in Mattoon. After that experience, God blessed me with the opportunity to open my own salon which we now know as GingerSnips!
I love the business aspect of my career, but I adore each and every one of my clients. I provide hair services, makeup services, and eyebrow waxing. One thing I want you to know about me is….I LOVE MY JOB.

nfident and is very detail oriented. She was punctual, professional, and delightful to be around. Selah provides amazing work and is a pleasure be around. She is a ray of sunshine and absolutely beautiful inside and out. Hearing her talk with my girls as she’s doing their makeup, making each bridesmaid feel confident and ensure that their final look was exactly what they wanted was more than what I could’ve asked for. The entire morning spent with her was effortless. Thank you so much!
