Alaina’s passion for hairstyling started in 1998 where she quickly found that it was not only making people feel beautiful with the art of hairstyling but also the art of helping people feel beautiful. The art of customer service. Alaina is an incredibly skilled stylist who was mentored by and shared clients with Christophe Soltane, traveled to Paris to assist Christophe Robin (one of the world’s top colorists), took advanced classes at Dessange Paris, and represented Gene Juarez Salons & Spas on several learning excursions to New York.

She specializes in the art of Balayage and has taught this art to other stylists around the country. Whether styling for the runway, collaborating for photo shoots, or helping her guests find their own perfect look, Alaina pushes herself to build knowledge and skills to grow both personally and professionally.

After moving to the states from Bali, Indonesia Cierra grew up in Whitefish, Montana and has been in Bozeman for about 8 years! When she’s not at the salon you can find her in vintage stores, on mountaintops, in rivers, on rock climbs or daydreaming about her next vacation.

What her clients love is the longevity of the cuts and colors she produces. Her passion is to create long lasting, effortless and lived-in styles that pair well with the aesthetic and lifestyle of whoever is in her chair. Balayage is her favorite technique for coloring hair, the whole process is hypnotizing and the results are compliment worthy. Whether you want to chat during your appointment or enjoy quiet relaxation she always holds space and is present for her guests.

@bzn_esti.kassk

Hi, I'm Kass Kittilsen, and I was born and raised in Livingston, Montana. I have been in and out of the beauty industry since 2009, but it wasn't until 2016 that I found a passion for skincare, and pursued a career in Esthetics.I've been a licensed Esthetician since 2017. My background in skincare comes from Dermalogica, and Eminence Organics, and also have an endorsement in Microdermabrasion. My goal as a technician is to help others feel confident and beautiful, both inside and out. Everyone deserves to feel valued and cared for and I hope that is how my guests feel after seeing me for a service.

When I'm not in the treatment room I spend my time with my family or at the gym. My husband Scott and I have a son named Silas, and two dogs, Ophelia, and Cole. We spend the majority of our time at the baseball fields, hiking, camping, skiing, or hanging with our pups.

My favorite Ceremony is my quiet and lazy Sunday mornings. It's the day I take my time waking up, and enjoy a cup of coffee in bed. Usually our mornings are busy, and rushed, and Sunday is my time to just breathe. It's also the day my son climbs in bed with me and will snuggle with me and our two doggos. He's getting older and I know these moments aren't going to happen much longer, so right now I'm just cherishing my time with my babies.

My name is Kennedy! I have been around the beauty industry my whole life, and after graduating with my BA in Family Studies finally decided to pursue esthetics. I love making people feel beautiful as well as the space around me with my experience in floral and wedding design. I am so excited to be using whole plant, sustainable skincare to care for my clients and feel so honored to work in Ceremony! I am passionate about loving everyone around me and want each of my clients to feel beautifully themselves as they leave my treatment room.

When I am not working, I enjoy riding my bike, hiking, and skiing with my husband, or chilling with our two orange cats. Being outside is my favorite ceremony

I was born and raised in the Beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I graduated from Northern Michigan University as a Surgical Technologist. Soon realized I needed to be on the other side of health care helping people prevent problems rather than react to them. Shortly after I graduated, I applied to Marquette School of Therapeutic Massage and finally found my calling.

After I completed massage therapy school, I started working at a chiropractic clinic in Marquette, Michigan, where I learned endless amounts of information about alternative, integrative and full-body approaches to wellness. After a few years immersing myself at the clinic, I went on a road trip across the country where I fell in love with Montana and the community of Bozeman. Soon after our move, I opened up my own Massage Therapy business - Wildly Essential.

I am extremely passionate about helping other people and allowing others to step into their power and take back control of their body, mind and spirit. I’m always staying up to date on the latest techniques, while trying new things to help you get to your best. Everyone benefits from massage, and I’m honored to be able to show you why.

She has a passion for helping others truly live in their authentic selves. Upon graduation, Glacier enrolled in a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training led by The Practice Power Yoga Studio.

Born and raised in Alaska, I grew up loving the outdoors. I enjoy going on long drives and finding new places to explore. I also enjoy listening to good music and trying to find a dog to pet.

My favorite ceremony is going on long walks with good company and, of course, getting ice cream after!
