JULIET

HAIR STYLIST

TEAM PLAYER SINCE 1999

 

I LOVE BEING a stylist because I am able to touch people's lives in a practical and immediate way. I get to be creative, helpful, influential, and very passionate about pushing others' true beauty to the surface. I get to watch a true transformation in the development of others' inner beauty.

 

MY FAVORITE SERVICE TO GIVE is the Style Profile Session because I get to help women develop their unique expression of beauty beyond their hair and makeup. I get to help put all of their visual story together, in addition, to the traditional salon experience. I am able to help take the beauty service to the next level.

I FEEL BEAUTIFUL WHEN I am surrounded by my loved ones and having an authentic experience.

 

MY MORNING ROUTINE WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING is cuddling with my husband and dog before the day begins.

ERICA

HAIR STYLIST

TEAM PLAYER SINCE 2000

 

I LOVE BEING a hairstylist because it includes so many ways to connect and care: conversation, touch, self-image supporting, activity and movement, creativity and artistry.

 

MY FAVORITE SERVICE TO GIVE as a design specialist, is a great haircut. But what does a great haircut require? First: pay attention - which means to listen with my ears, eyes, hands, and heart. I have to know what I'm working with which includes hair, expectations, wishes, and limitations. Second: enjoy, which includes connecting with my guest, creating solutions, and satisfying hair dreams to the best of my ability.

 

I FEEL BEAUTIFUL WHEN someone tells me I made a difference in their lives for the better, whether I intended to or not.

 

MY MORNING ROUTINE WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING is sleeping in.

MICHELLE

HAIR STYLIST

TEAM PLAYER SINCE 1993

 

I LOVE BEING a hairstylist because I was 12 when it sparked in me to be a hairstylist. After 22 years at Caruh and wearing many hats (educator, makeup artist, Team Leader and HR), I still love coming to work! I am lucky to be learning new things and watching the industry evolve. It has given me the flexibility to pursue my varied interests and most recently to work part-time to raise my adorable girls.

 

MY FAVORITE SERVICE TO GIVE is a haircut + color together. I love the freedom of creativity you have to make someone feel and look their best.

 

I FEEL BEAUTIFUL WHEN I am with my daughters and spending time with my family and friends … Caruh falls into that category with the relationships I have built with the staff and my guests.

 

MY MORNING ROUTINE WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING - Hmm, It has been a while. Let me get back to you once the girls are a little older.

ALEXA

HAIR STYLIST

TEAM PLAYER SINCE 2011

 

I LOVE BEING a hairstylist because I get to help make people feel beautiful. When someone does a double-take in the mirror and realizes how attractive they are, their confidence boosts' and their renewed sense of positive self permeates the air around them. I feel so privileged to be part of that process.

 

I feel the best when I connect deeply with others, learn about them, see how special they are, find their radiance and bring it to the surface. I get to do that every day at Caruh!

 

MY FAVORITE SERVICE TO GIVE is change. I never pressure, but I love offering different options with my clients, whether it is small or large, shifts in tonal reflection, shape, color or placement can drastically enhance and showcase your unique beauty.

 

I FEEL BEAUTIFUL WHEN I am present, confident, connected, open, touched or surrounded by nature and caffeinated.

 

JOANN

ESTHETICIAN

TEAM PLAYER SINCE 2015

 

I LOVE BEING an esthetician because I enjoy taking care of peoples' needs, bringing out their best, assisting guests with becoming comfortable in their skin and achieving their best look and feel.

 

MY FAVORITE SERVICE TO GIVE It's a tie between all the services...love having the variety! I especially brow shaping, makeup applications and facials. Seeing immediate results in any service as well as planning toward long term results is very rewarding.

 

I FEEL BEAUTIFUL WHEN I'm laughing, giving of myself and practicing good posture.

 

MY MORNING ROUTINE WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING Slurping hot coffee from my favorite mug and stretching at the bathroom sink.

CORINNE

HAIR STYLIST

TEAM PLAYER SINCE 2004

 

I LOVE BEING a stylist because I get to help people feel like the best version of themselves.

 

I FEEL BEAUTIFUL WHEN my eyes are closed and the sun is on my face.

 

MY MORNING ROUTINE WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING it's a secret, that's why no one's looking.

 

MORE ABOUT ME I love to hike and be outside. I also love to learn about my clients and discover who they are.

MOLLY

MASSAGE THERAPIST

TEAM PLAYER SINCE 2016

 

I LOVE BEING an LMP because I love practicing massage because I feel successful when a guest reenters the world feeling better than they did prior to their massage. I feel good too.

 

MY FAVORITE SERVICE TO GIVE 90-minute Restorative Nature Massage because I am less bound by time and able to address the needs of the whole body throughout the service.

 

I FEEL BEAUTIFUL WHEN when I maintain the physical, mental, and emotional balance that support a healthy lifestyle

 

MY MORNING ROUTINE WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING Typically, I avoid routine all-together. I’m delighted by days that are free of agenda-- I’m not always the most productive, but I’m certainly happy.

 

MORE ABOUT ME Currently, I’m finishing my undergraduate studies in order to pursue a master’s degree in occupational therapy.

PAUL

My favorite thing about my craft is...

it's not just about hair it is also about creating a space and time for my guests to feel cared for.

I feel the best...

I have honed my craft at...

is waiting for a noon routine.

I am most proud of...

My ability to listen and connect with my guests and always being open to being better!

ALEX

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

I LOVE BEING a hairdresser because its a craft that combines all the things that feed my soul;  its a creative expression and craft that can continually be honed, the science of hair color  chemistry and formulation technology, and education - continually learning and discovering  how and why and sharing that knowledge with my guests and colleagues in the industry.

I FEEL BEST when I’m with my family. Im from Atlanta Georgia by way of Los Angeles and all  my family is back east. We as a family make a point to spend time with each other, they always  come out to Seattle for my birthday and I alway go home for the holidays and any chance we  can in-between! Also, that feeling of coming home to a pristine clean home after a long  adventurous vacation.

MY FAVORITE SERVICE TO GIVE are professional Botanical Repair and Nutriplenish  treatments! I believe healthy hair is beautiful hair.

My MORNING ROUTINE WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING wake up, coffee, walk Mousse (my  10+ year old border collie mix) and hopefully clean the apartment, put the dishes away, finish  the laundry and then veg on the couch to some youtube or TV. If it’s a sunny day out, hiking or  weekend adventures with Mousse.

TAYLOR

HAIR STYLIST

I have been apart of the beauty industry since 2012. One of my favorite parts of my job is making human connections. I love building a relationship with my clients, I want them to truly feel that I have their best interest in mind when it comes to designing their new style or formulating their personalized, perfect color. Wedding or special event hair and makeup always makes for an exciting day of work! Nothing makes me happier than passing on knowledge of how to recreate certain looks at home and having a  success story return to my chair. I also find great fun in teaching men the advantages of using a blow dryer! The little things truly can make a huge difference in our appearance and I believe it is my purpose to aid people in achieving their best look.

 

I am always looking to expand my education in this industry. Getting out of the salon for a new class feels like a field trip and I can’t wait to bring new techniques back to my guests!

 

When I’m not at work I love staying active at yoga, the gym or hiking in the mountains. I absolutely love spending time with my husky pup, Lyla and my boyfriend, Andrew. I am truly an adventurous spirit and am always looking forward to booking my next travel excursion.
