LENA NATALIA
SALON APPRENTICE
Born and raised in Denver, a career in Beauty always made sense for Lena. The craft provided the creative outlet and the stability she wanted.
“Everyone’s hair is a form of self-expression, and if I can help people find themselves (or completely reinvent themselves), then I can say Im fulfilling my purpose in this world.”
When she’s not behind the chair, you might find her thrifting or hanging out at home with her dog, Goose.
LINDSEY MCNEIL

As a stylist since 2022, Lindsey is intrigued by all haircuts, bright, vivid colors, and beautiful blondes. Lindsey strives to have as much education as possible and is always searching for new techniques to practice!
Lindsey is a Colorado native who prides herself on her love for the indoors. Every once in a while, you can catch her in the mountains, soaking up the sun with those closest to her. Once she finds the gumption to leave her home, you can find her eating around Denver, watching her partner play video games, and loving on her cat.
