The Black Sheep
Team
Jessica Mowder
With over 11 years of experience in cosmetology, I've always had a passion for creative color, alternative cuts, extensions, and taking on color correction challenges. I love helping clients express themselves through their hair, and I'm always up for creating something bold, unique, or completely transformative. I can be pretty goofy at times, and I do my best to make every appointment fun, comfortable, and enjoyable. I believe you should be able to receive luxury salon services without feeling like you have to fit into a stuffy or intimidating environment. As a "black sheep" myself, I created this salon to be a place where everyone feels welcome and celebrated for exactly who they are. I believe our differences are what make us beautiful, and my goal is for every person who walks through our doors to feel accepted, confident, and empowered to embrace their individuality.

I graduated from Tricoci University on the honor roll with a certification as a lash technician. My priority is for clients to build their confidence by helping achieve their skin care and beauty goals all while enjoying the relaxation that comes with my services. A few of my favorite services to offer are “mommy to be” facials & lash lift & tints. My most popular services are lash extensions and an eyebrow wax & tint which pairs great with a brow lamination!
Alaina Dully
I've had a love for all things beauty and self-care ever since I was a little girl. Struggling with skin conditions of my own inspired me to learn everything I could about skincare and fueled my passion for helping others feel confident in their skin. I graduated from Tricoci University of Beauty Culture in 2019 and became a licensed esthetician at just 17 years old. Since then, I've dedicated my career to providing personalized skincare and body waxing services with a holistic approach. My goal is for every client to leave feeling relaxed, cared for, and glowing—both inside and out.

Nixon Bazenhow
My love for cosmetology started almost four years ago with horror movies and special effects makeup, which inspired me to enroll in beauty school. While I was there, I quickly fell in love with all things hair. I'm especially passionate about vivid colors, alternative styles, edgy cuts, and helping people express their individuality through their look. Over the last three years, I've perfected my men's haircutting skills at a local barbershop, and now I'm excited to expand my creativity by taking on bold color transformations, alternative styles, and all kinds of fun hair projects. Whether you're looking for a fresh cut or something completely unique, I'd love to have you in my chair and help bring your vision to life!
Kayleigha Nguyen
I've been in the beauty industry for 10 years, and it's truly a part of who I am. I fell in love with this career because of the creativity, the connections I get to build, and the confidence it helps bring to my clients. While I've spent years perfecting my craft as a nail artist, I'm excited to continue growing behind the chair and expanding my skills in hair. I'll be looking for models for select hair services, so be sure to keep an eye on the salon's Facebook page for model calls! I'm a hardworking mom of three who thrives in a little bit (or a lot!) of chaos. My chair is a safe space for laughs, venting, glow-ups, and everything in between. This isn't just a job to me—it's my passion, my peace, and my creative outlet, and I can't wait to share it with you.
Taylor Pichon
I've been doing nails for about 2 years now, and I truly fell in love with this industry because of how creative it allows me to be. Nail art has my whole heart—from delicate details to fun, bold sets, I love bringing your ideas to life and making every appointment feel special. I'm in such a sweet season of life right now, soaking in new beginnings and big blessings, and it's made me even more grateful for the space I get to create in every day. The salon has become such a happy place for me—full of good conversations, laughter, and lots of pretty nails. My goal is always to make you feel comfortable, cared for, and confident when you leave my chair. I can't wait to meet you and create something beautiful together. 🤍✨
