Rachel

I graduated from Douglas J Aveda Institute in Grand Rapids. It was always my childhood ambition to become a cosmetologist. In my spare time I like to golf, help out on our pig farm, and just spend time with my awesome husband, daughter, son and fur baby Riggins.

Luanne

I am working my dream job (I get to talk all day and do hair), this is all I have ever wanted to do since I was a young girl. Plus the people I work with and our clients are truly amazing, they are like a family to me. Fun facts about me are I have 13 grandchildren that are all the loves of my life. I like to read, spend time gardening, scheming remodeling ideas, being at our cottage up north on the lake, and just being with my family and friends.
