  • Tera opened TReSs Apothecary and Salon in 2016, but she’s been working hair magic since 2001. She specializes in low-maintenance cuts and easy grow out color, and she has a soft spot for blondes. Her favorite moment with clients is when the cape comes off and they are basking in all of their beautiful glory. It’s the total confidence that does it for Tera! She believes there is nothing better than being surrounded by women that feel great about themselves. Tera is also certified in Invisible Bead Extensions, which add length and volume to your locks.

    Specialties: low-maintenance cuts, easy grow-out color, Invisible Bead extensions

    Tera’s #1 piece of hair advice: Stop over cleansing!!! Find a dry shampoo you love (her’s is Fresh Affair by Kerastase) and try to wash no more than twice a week!

    Tera’s first job: working the counter at Kentucky Fried Chicken! She was 14 years old and hasn’t stopped working since!

    Tera’s dream day off: I would sleep in until 8am (something my body finds impossible!) and then drink a green tea that my husband delivered to me in bed. I would read a good book for a couple of hours and then take a long walk or a yoga class. I would have a yummy lunch in a bistro in Paris followed by shopping and a delicious dinner out with the best friends. I would slide into my bed by 10pm, cuddle up with my husband and drift off to sleep and the sweetest dreams.

  • Jenny has been in the hair industry for over two decades and can’t imagine spending her days doing anything else. Knowing that something she creates makes someone feel incredible is her favorite feeling. She has a knack for communicating with clients to bring out their signature style and loves when they leave feeling beautiful and confident. She loves learning about each client, and bringing out their best look.

    Specialties: Natural, effortless styles, Brazilian Blowouts

    Jenny’s #1 piece of hair advice: Don’t make it complicated! Everyone has different types of hair; learn what works best with the least amount of effort.

    One thing on Jenny’s bucket list: Big wave surf in Hawaii. Let’s be honest, that will probably never happen but how freakin cool would I be if I did it!

    Jenny’s dream day off: Wake up with the sun and drink my coffee while it’s still hot. Workout and then get pampered a little, maybe a facial or a pedicure. Then maybe a trip to Costco where I buy half the store, I do that a lot. I love Costco. Then cook up something like lamb chops or some steaks for my family while listening to my boyfriend, Michael Buble, and drinking a nice glass of wine. Cuddle up with my husband and be asleep by 9:00...I’m a simple girl.
