Hometown: Loveland, Colorado

What inspires/motivates me in the industry:

Just being able to make people feel good about the way they look. Being able to create something that they’ve imagined for themselves and the way it makes them feel drives me. But being a hairstylist is even more than that, it’s creating lifelong friendships with the people in my chair.

I’m a mother. Being able to be with my family makes me the happiest. I love music and going to shows. I love to travel, and to have experiences.

Im so lucky to work in a space with pure talent that surrounds me. I love the family/team aspect and feel of working with my peers. The sharing of knowledge is priceless.

What else you should know about me:

I’m a Wella Master Colorist and I’m well versed in blondes. I also love doing extensions. I love meeting new people so come sit in my chair!!

Carissa has the most beautiful smile and sweetness. She makes our space in LoDo better by sharing her grace and kindness.
