Each bracelet has rare earth magnets positioned over the acupressure points of the wrist so at so increase the flow of vital life force, known as "Chi."

If there is something in particular you're looking for that we don't carry we also offer special ordering! We also offer services for the whole family! Our team here is made up of Tenia Fogle, Kelsey Anding and Christi Hutchison. Our stylists combined have over 24 years of experience! We offer the following services: *Haircuts *Color *Hilites *OmbrĂŠ *Balayage *Facial Waxing *Perms *Special Occasion Styling We look forward to seeing you! Christi Hutchison I've been a stylist for over 11 years and absolutely love my job! I went to beauty school in my home state of Michigan and then proceeded to pursue my passion of hair in Florida, California and now small town Iowa. Making people feel better about themselves is an amazing privilege and having the opportunity to be creative is an added bonus. I enjoy giving short sassy textured cuts but also love adding some fullness and life to long beautiful hair. I also love adding color to complement any cut or just to simply maintain your current look. I am pretty new to the area and am looking to continue to build my clientele. If you're looking for something new or just someone new I hope to hear from you! Tenia Fogle I attended cosmetology school at Capri College in Cedar Rapids. After graduation I worked at Regis in Coralville for four years then I decided I would come back to Washington. It was the best decision I could have made! I enjoy working in a small town and love how my clients have become more like family. I've worked here for over six years now and the salon has been through many changes since I started. The one thing that hasn't changed is the love I have for my job! I absolutely could not imagine doing anything else! I would have to say my favorite part of my job is adding color to accent a cut. I love that the possibilities are endless when it comes to color.
