         "HI! I'm Stacey,  and I'm the owner of The Beauty Bar. I grew up in Schoolcraft, MI., and graduated from SHS in 2007. During my senior year, I was able to begin my schooling at Wright Beauty Academy. I received my cosmetology license in the spring of 2008, and have enjoyed my career field for over 15 years! In March of 2015 I moved to the little town of Greybull, Wyoming. There, I was the sole stylist at Salon Bijou inside of this amazing boutique called Crazy Woman Territory. During my time in Greybull, I became a Novalash certified lash extentionist, and also traveled to Salt Lake City and became an Academy of Brows (formerly Pace Studios Microblading Academy) certified Microblading technician. In August of 2016 I decided to return to Michigan in order to be closer to my family and longtime friends. Also in August, I made the journey back to SLC and received my training and certification to become a Master Microblading technician, again from Academy of Brows. In November of 2017 I traveled to San Diego for a course through Deluxe Brows on machine brow and eyeliner tattooing methods. In December of 2017 I also took an online course through Elleebana to learn lash lifting and tinting. In April of 2018 I drove to Toronto and took an amazing course through, Canada based, Esthetics Edge on Fibroblast Plasma Lift. I enjoy taking classes on new trends and techniques, as well as being active on social media. I am also an ambassador for Stand Out Beauty and Globallee, based in Texas, and use and offer their amazing sunless tanning and false lashes.

It has always been a dream of mine to own a business where I could create a laid back environment, and where people could avoid the corporate structure found so often elsewhere.

In my spare time, I love being outdoors and have a small obsession with kayaking and paddle boarding. My weekends are usually full of spending time with my family and friends, or my husband and our toddler."

"Hey, I'm Kelly! I have been in the beauty industry for 20 years. I attended David Pressley School of Cosmetology in Royal Oak, Michigan. Upon receiving my license I started at a small salon, and was able to hone my skills through watching and learning from my co-workers. Throughout the years I continued learning different techniques and trends with countless beauty industry professionals and companies across the state. I eventually began to specialize in men's haircutting and barbering services and acquired multiple certifications as well. In May of 2018 I decided to branch out and rent a booth at The Beauty Bar. I still love to do all hair services for both men and women and felt this was the best way to do so.

I am a proud momma of a crazy-fun kiddo! In our free time we like to go to movies or have our own movie nights at home. We also LOVE to be outside and explore the Kalamazoo area. Having just moved to this side of the state from Metro Detroit, in 2015, I'm still finding new places to enjoy. My biggest weaknesses are tye-dye and Journey (the band). Also, hunky lumberjacks.

My favorite in salon moments are when my guests are completely happy with their look I created!"

"Hi, I'm Kayla! I'm an Indiana native, but have lived in Michigan for 12 years. I am married to an awesome guy, and have two great kids. I attended cosmetology school at Vogue Beauty Academy, and after working at a salon for a couple of years, I went back for my cosmetology instructors license. I continued working in salons, and was both a stylist and managed a salon for several years. 

After having my second kid, I took some time away from the salon. I enjoyed being a sports mom, traveling up north, and vacationing in other areas of the country. I still enjoy crafting, kayaking, gardening, snowboarding, vacationing, and watching sports.

I've enjoyed being back behind the chair, learning new techniques, and meeting new people."

"Hi, I'm Bri!  I started my career in skin health and beauty in July 2022, however, I have been passionate about skin care since I was a teen. I grew up in Vicksburg, MI with my two sisters and mom and dad. Now, my fiance Connor, our dog Ellie, and I live in Kalamazoo. I will always consider Vicksburg my home; I even met Connor while going to school there. Fun fact; We were introduced in 1st grade but did not end up having an interest in each other until senior year of high school. I graduated in 2014 from VHS and my college career path started that fall. I was lost and had no idea what I wanted to make of myself. Finally, in 2020, I figured it out! I enrolled myself into Esthetician school at Douglas J. Aveda Institute in Grand Rapids. Doing facials at school was my absolute favorite thing. I also am experienced in waxing, brow and lash tinting and makeup. I love making other people feel beautiful and comfortable in their skin. After graduating, I moved from Grand Rapids back to Kalamazoo and started my business, Skin Love By Bri LLC, out of my home in January 2023. There, I did facials, waxing, makeup, and brow tinting on friends and family. Now, I am venturing out into Schoolcraft and expanding my knowledge at The Beauty Bar. Here, I hope to make new friends and grow more as a businesswoman. Growing up with acne and having to figure out how to get rid of it on my own is what sparked my passion for skin care and helping others with their skin care needs."
