Kristen’s Hair Suite
Hi! I have been specializing in men’s and boy’s hair and beard services for almost 10 years, and absolutley adore what I do! I am an Eau Claire local but moved to Florida for a few years to escape the long winters. I’m excited to be back in town with my own hair suite to provide the most personalized and welcoming service that I possibly can! I love working with everyone, including very first haircuts. I have handicap accessibility and offer discounts to both military and law enforcement individuals. I look forward to meeting you and creating a lasting and trusting relationship with you as my client!
Sarah @ High Maintenance Salon
Sarah that’s me- as a little girl I aspired to find a way to make a person smile. I always knew I found peace in the field of cosmetology, I found a passion that made me want to wake up. After I graduated high school I went straight to beauty school 21 years and counting I can’t call it a career because it doesn’t feel like work. To live a dream was to accomplish success which was making every guest in my chair feel what they need while being there, at the same time bringing a new life to their strands! Always I welcome new guests, and if I can’t do it I will learn as continuing education has always been a priority of mine. But, full disclaimer I have a deep love for family, music and singing, reading, arts and crafts as well as sports and camping.

Hair By Keshia
Hi! My name is Keshia. I started my cosmetology journey about 8 years ago in Spring Lake Park, MN at a cosmetology school there called Empire Beauty School. I gained a lot of knowledge as a student and was there for half the program when due to unforeseen circumstances I had to drop out…. I continued to have faith that doing hair was what I was meant to do, so I enrolled at the Professional Hair Design academy in Eau Claire in April 2022 and studied under a master colorist there by the name of Jon, and several other knowledgeable instructors. I got my cosmetology license with flying colors! I possess in-depth knowledge of various hair colors, textures, and styles. I have taken over 150 hours of rigorous training on hair color application.
If you want to experiment with something new with your hair or just freshen up your look, I’m your stylist! I provide free consultations, answering all your questions and concerns with utmost patience. I am detail oriented and I don’t stop working on your hairstyle and color until it’s perfect!
