Melissa C.

Co-Owner/Level 4 Stylist

Melissa is our "Jane of all trades"

As a stylist, she enjoys creating a wide array of looks. She is passionate about continued education and loves to share her knowledge through the Associate Program. She specializes in balayage, blondes, natural-looking color and hair extensions. Her passion for extensions recently drove her to create her very own line of extensions, Sierra & Sage Hair Extensions, which we feature in the salon.

As an owner, Melissa does all of our bookeeping, payroll, financials and jokingly calls herself the CFO- although, its not really a joke- she technically is

Jen

Co-Owner

Jen has been in the Beauty Industry for over 25 years. She spent most of her career working as a Nail Artist. As soon as her daughter Melissa started beauty school, she began dreaming up future plans to open a salon together.

She has since retired from doing nails to focus on the growth of Atelier Beauty Bar. You can often find her working closely with our front desk team and estheticians. She is the creativity of our ownership duo and is the one always dreaming up all the fancy merchandising displays you've come to know and love. She also does all of our ordering/purchasing to make sure our service providers have everything they need and our guests have all they need.
