Addie Nelson
CO - OWNER + STYLIST
Hello, I'm Addie! I am going on 12 years being behind the chair. My expertise lies in color, and I'm passionate about continually expanding my knowledge to enhance people's hair. Whether it's creating a rich, all-over brown or a lived-in balayage, I find immense joy in my work every day. I'm incredibly thankful for my wonderful clientele who have joined me on this exciting journey. Outside of the salon I love spending time with my husband Nate, our 2 girls, and our dog Venci. This last fall we bought a camper and are eager to explore all our MN campsites! Our girls keep us busy with sports, theatre and all of the adventures!
Alyssa Johnson
CO - OWNER + STYLIST
Hi, I'm Alyssa! I have been a hairstylist for 10 years. I would say color and hair extensions are my specialty. I have a passion for creating stunning blondes and vibrant lived-in colors. I love how hair extensions can give an immediate result to thicker and longer hair. The most rewarding aspect of my job is the strong relationships I've built with my clients. They have become like family to me. I'm incredibly grateful for their support and for them being a part of my journey. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Nick, and our baby boy Vincent! We are die hard MN Vikings fans and enjoy tailgating and going to every home game! My hobbies include reading, traveling, and of course shopping!

HI, I'm Danielle. With 15 years in the beauty industry, I specialize in creating easy-to-manage styles that work with your hair—styles that you’ll love and can truly live in. My approach is all about helping you embrace and enhance the hair you have, so you can feel confident and comfortable every day, no matter your lifestyle. Whether you’re after a modern, low-maintenance cut or a color that’s both stylish and practical, I’m here to make your hair routine simpler, so you can spend less time styling and more time enjoying life. I believe hair should be easy to maintain but still look amazing—because life is busy! Outside the salon, I’m all about balance. When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me running, cooking up a new recipe, or cheering on my kids as they play soccer, dance, and do gymnastics. I also love taking long walks with my husband, dog, and kids, and taking road trips and just enjoying quality time together. Let’s work together to find a hairstyle that fits your life and your personality.

There's something truly special about crafting a unique and personal hairstyle that perfectly complements each client's individual personality.
