Xennon Academy – 2015,  Aveda Certified Stylist

Executing a customized look that all my guests can recreate at home, is my #1 priority. I want you to feel and look your best self. I love staying on top of my education and consistently challenge myself behind the chair.

Outside of the salon: You can catch me spending time with my husband and our two boys. Love language: coffee & baked goods.

Jasmine Barrett

Designer III Stylist

I have been with AVEDA Since 2015. I specialize in barbering and I love customizing a great hair color/style for your wants and needs!

Courtney Ayala

Designer III Stylist

Amazing! Awesome! The best ever! A little crazy! Okay, Okay, in all seriousness I’m a down to earth, easy going, fun loving, patient, bubbly, compassionate person. I take pride in my work and truly strive to make my clients desires a reality. I’m always up for a challenge and like to think outside the box to give you something unique. This may sound corny or over used but I honestly have such a passion for what I do that you could say I live and breathe hair.

Nicole Beck

Designer II Stylist

I came to Omaha from Arkansas, where I went to hair school. I love a good fashion color or blonding session. Lover of good music and food!

Eli Ostblom

Designer I Stylist

The best part of my job is making people feel like the best versions of themselves. Self care is so important and so often skipped over. I specialize in curly haircuts and styles, as well as hand-painted highlights. Basically, I love to work with what you have rather than hide your natural beauty! My pronouns are They/Them, and when I’m not here at the salon you will find me being a parent to my 3 fur babies and my many, many plants.

Jen Mitchell

Esthetician

I’m all about giving you the most memorable facial experience, not only will you skin be uniquely treated, but your whole energy field will take on a new life. You will experience true healing from the inside out! And if you have been looking for that pedicure that truly satisfies you, where the calluses are actually gone… look no further! I’ve been doing this since 1998, I have seen it all!

Jodi Vermilyea

Licensed Massage Therapist for Over 25 Years

I have always had a passion for helping people. As a Licensed Massage Therapist for 30 years, my job is very rewarding and allows me to do just that.

Bring me your tired, weak, sore bodies and let the transformation begin, we only have one body! I like to live life to its fullest and love helping people do the same by helping them be at their physical best.
