Hadleigh
Hi, I’m Hadleigh. I am a very passionate hairstylist with a journey that started in 2017. I got my cosmetology license in Rapid City South Dakota followed by moving back to my home town in Montana for two years to do Hair, Lashes and some Permanent Makeup. I decided I wanted to live somewhere warmer, so I found myself in Phoenix in late 2019 to continue doing what I love for Grooming Humans. I have since went from a stylist to the Salon Owner! When I’m not at the salon I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend and our dog Mak.

Melissa K
Hello,
My name is Melissa!
My husband and I recently relocated to Arizona from the land of
10,000 lakes, mosquitos and cold winters. You betcha, we are from MinneSOTA!
We have 3 adult children and a very large extended family. What a blessing!
We enjoy adventure, traveling and food.
In my free time I love to share my talents by volunteering for a local non profit cutting hair for the homeless.
I truly enjoy Hair – Therapy.
Time with clients in my salon chair encouraging them to be the best version of themselves, all while I create a haircut, color and style that fits their personality and lifestyle, this is my goal during every visit.
Id love to have you come hang out with me!

Sara
Hi! My name’s Sara. I’m so happy to have joined the Grooming Humans family in 2023!
I grew up in Rhode Island, and more recently lived in San Diego before coming to Tempe. When I’m not doing hair I like to thrift, try local restaurants and spend time with my friends.
Since graduating from cosmetology school, I’ve enjoyed working on cuts, color, and styles for mens and womens hair. I’m enjoying the challenge of becoming more experienced and well rounded in my craft.
I always wanted to be a hairstylist growing up, and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to learn and grow alongside the rest of the very talented team here at Grooming Humans.
