Our Stylists – Tease Salon

What is your favorite thing about being a stylist? Why?

My favorite thing about being a stylist is the fact that I can pretty much put whatever is in my mind and make it real. No matter what pattern or idea I have it always comes out cool.

Why did you become a stylist?

Becoming a hairstylist just kind of fell into my lap. I always wanted to do art and be creative, I just didn’t know how to achieve that. Going to Hair School as something I just thought would be easy and then I realized how much I truly loved it.

If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with your extra time?

I would probably obsess over everything under the Sun so it’s a probably a good thing that I have to sleep and stay busy.

What job would you be terrible at?

I have to try really hard not to sound over confident but honestly any job I’ve ever done I’ve been good at. No matter what it is I just take this situation and handle it.

5.) What music has influenced you the most/what is your favorite band?

Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill and No Doubt Tragic Kingdom raised me. GIRL POWER!

Vanessa M. - Stylist

What is your favorite thing about being a stylist? Why?

I used to beg my mom to take me to work with her at the salon when I was younger, even if I would only go to sweep up hair. I’ve always loved the salon atmosphere and had a fascination for the beauty industry. So I followed my fire and became a stylist.

Why did you become a stylist?

One of my favorite things about being a stylist is all the dope people you meet and become close with and make them feel beautiful!!! But the best part is I work with all my best friends

If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with your extra time?

If I didn’t have to sleep I would use my extra time to be at the beach or doing anything outside with good company. Or I would learn to play an instrument.

What job would you be terrible at?

I would be terrible any career that has to do with math or sitting still for long periods of time….. quietly.

What music has influenced you the most/what is your favorite band?

I listen to a VERY wide variety of music and will find a way to dance to any song. I can’t pick a favorite genre let alone my favorite artist. But Carrie underwood fuels my soul whenever I’m feeling sad.

Kellie - Stylist

What is your favorite thing about being a stylist? Why?

I have always loved the beauty industry and loved to try and follow trend. As soon as my mom told me I could start wearing make up to school I did and even before that haha. Make up and hair products were always so cool and interesting but I never knew why I wanted to be a stylist until high school. I loved the way I felt every time I got my hair done. I was confident and so excited to show people my new look. I thought my hairstylist Ruth was the coolest person and she was beautiful. I wanted to be like Ruth and make people feel the way she made me feel.

Why did you become a stylist?

I love making people feel good! It’s so crazy how just a few highlights or a small bang trim can make people feel. You don’t always have to get the works done to get satisfaction from it. Clients are so thankful just to see and talk to you. Sometimes it’s like being an amateur therapist. Hair wise I would have to say I love creative color. Anything where I can whip out the colors of the rainbow is cool with me. Adding some funk into this world through hair is pretty sweet.

If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with your extra time?

I love food and to cook. I usually am cooking on my days off. In between making sure my son isn’t bored. Who would have thought having a child would be hard work 😂 If I had a babysitter? My husband and I love to find new restaurants, breweries and comedy. Also concerts are a favorite past time. I love seeing live music especially anything that brings back memories.

What job would you be terrible at?

Anything related to hard labor. I can’t see being hot, sweaty and tired. But on the other hand I also don’t like desk work or math so I guess I picked the right profession!

What music has influenced you the most/what is your favorite band?

Everything. You name it I’ve probably had it have some kind of influence on me. From Spice girls to The talking heads. Barbra Streisand and show tunes to Tenacious D. But it’s no surprise to anyone who my favorite band is. I love Hanson. Yes that Hanson. They have like 10 albums (look them up) and I’ve seen them more times then I can count on both hands so yea I would say Hanson is my official answer to this question.
