    Hi! I’m Amy. I have always loved doing hair! I’m not a stylist, but what I enjoy most about working here is seeing the transformations of our clients- inside and out. I love everything from talking to them on the phone, to greeting them at the door, to seeing them after their appointment- where they received amazing services from our talented stylists. Aside from spending time with my children and family, I love crafting, puzzles, and building and fixing things with my own hands!

  • Sheila

    Stylist + Colorist + Curly Cut Expert

    Hi, I’m Sheila! I’ve been a stylist since 2017. I’ve always loved cutting and styling hair and decided as a 4th grader that I would either be a hairdresser or counselor someday. Cuts are my favorite, balayage and color a close second! So doing both on a client and seeing them leave the salon feeling fresh and beautiful is very rewarding. I love coming to work! Being with my clients recharges and inspires me. In my free time I love spending time with my husband and three littles. I enjoy the slow speed of sitting on the porch drinking coffee with my family and exciting adventures like wake boarding or traveling!

Seeing clients leave with great, big smiles on their faces, always makes my day! The positive and warm atmosphere this salon brings, fills me with so much joy everytime I walk through the door. In my free time, I enjoy being out in the sunshine, spending time with family and friends, shopping, and taking road trips!
