KELSEY DEUEL she/her
Hourly rate- $150
I love doing hair because it’s an amazing feeling to make someone look and feel confident about themselves. I also really love the artistry behind doing haircolor. Every head is a different canvas and it’s really fun for me to formulate and get creative. I have been doing hair since 2013, and I don’t see myself doing anything else. Outside of the salon I love to hangout with friends and my boyfriend, enjoy outside as much as possible, love on my cats, and travel as much as possible.
BAILEY DORMAN she/her

RACHEL HOFMANN she/her
Hourly rate- $110
I have been a stylist since 2017. I went to college for piano, but decided that wasn’t it for me. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, and I kept seeing so much hair inspo on Instagram. I was already doing avant-garde makeup at the time, so I decided I wanted to learn more about hair. I’ve always leaned towards artistic outlets, and hair followed suit. My favorite service would be either balayage or fashion color. Outside of the salon I like to paint, play piano, and do yoga.

MEGAN LANCASTER she/her
Hourly rate- $120
I have been a stylist for almost 9 years. When I was growing up there was never once a stylist that could give me what I wanted, and to be honest, I had some very traumatic experiences getting my hair done. I remember being 14 and deciding I was going to start doing my own hair. I felt so validated with the cut I gave myself. It was exactly as I envisioned. So I started doing my friends hair. Seeing them light up when they finally had their hair cut the way they had envisioned made me realize that’s what I wanted to do the rest of my life. I wanted to help people feel validated and encouraged to be individually themselves! I love love love lived in color and brightening services. Adding depth and pops of brightness can transform the hair without having to be in the salon every 8 weeks. Beautiful hair doesn’t have to be high maintenance! When I’m not in the salon you can catch me in the woods or at the beach. I’ve also been writing and playing guitar most of my life, so when I have down time I love to play!

So it just kind of clicked for me! My favorite services to perform are lived-in color, creative/fashion colors, and shag haircuts.
