Angelique: Owner / Senior Stylist / New Talent Educator
Booking: Online Preferred Text for Consults or Late Cancellation: (330) 676-9663 Stylist since 1999, Skullz since 2007 What do you enjoy most about your career? I love seeing the familiar faces of my loyal clientele and being able to build a relationship that goes beyond just great hair! I also look forward to inspiring the next generation of Skullz Stylists through our education venue and salon apprenticeship program! Why Skullz? Opening Skullz Salon gave me the opportunity to create an educationally based environment for stylists and clients that is rooted in individual creativity. I have worked in many salons that were absentee owned and never challenged me as a professional. I have surrounded myself with a small group of stylists and staff that are building careers, not jobs. |

Amanda: Manager / Creative Director
Education: B.A. & M.A. in Art Education, Kent State University How did you get into the Hair Industry? I began helping out at the salon with my partner Angelique while in college with reception and graffiti decor. When my degrees were complete it seemed only natural to hop on-board full time to assist in developing our Stylist Apprentice program and Continuing Education offerings through the House of Skullz! What do you enjoy most about your career? Most of my time is spent helping the stylist educators create learning experiences for our staff and apprentices along with keeping up with the social media and web presence. I love to help our talented stylists showcase their work for the world to see! |

Skullz Since 2007 Booking: Online Preferred Text for Consults or Late Cancellation: (330) 281-4090 What do you enjoy most about your career? I love providing clients with combination services: haircuts and color.

Things are always changing in this industry. The education and personal interaction I get from my coworkers and clients make sure we all keep up! |

Skullz since 2007 Booking: Online Preferred Text for Consults or Late Cancellation: (234) 703-1603 What do you enjoy most about your career? I enjoy having creative license to design hairstyles whether for everyday occasions or special events. Formal Styling is where I put the most of myself into my work. Why Skullz? I have experience at numerous salons during the beginning of my career. I have never found a salon that feels like a family the way Skullz does. I love coming to work and knowing that everyone supports each other to create the best hair possible. |

Savannah: Educator / Senior Stylist
Skullz Since 2010 Booking: Online Preferred Text for Consults or Late Cancellation: (330) 931-6936 How did you get into the Hair Industry? College was not for me. I wanted to enter a professional career and found cosmetology to be the most visually appealing. I grew-up in the “scene-kid” era when hair was BIG and razor cut. I wanted to learn to style hair the way I would want mine to look. Becoming a stylist would give me the foundation for my profession. What do you enjoy most about your career? I love helping people look and feel their best! Being a hairstylist means being active in an industry that will never die. Clients will always seek out professionals to help them with their hair-lifestyles. I am proud to be even a small part of that experience. |

Emily: Junior Stylist
Skullz since 2018 Booking: Online Preferred Text for Consults or Late Cancellation: (234) 281-2627 How did you get into the Hair Industry? I got into hair because my mom's friend owned a salon and I loved to go with her and hang out with the stylists. I thought they were so cool. I ended up interning there when I was in highschool and getting to work with them inspired me more. What do you enjoy most about your career? I love that it's ever changing. New trends, different colors and styles. It's always new. Also it's nice to be able to make people feel beautiful. Drew: Junior Stylist
Skullz since 2019 Booking: Online Preferred Text for Consults or Late Cancellation: (234) 738-0862 How did you get into the Hair Industry? I grew up around hair. AS a 3rd generation Italian-American my family picked food, carpentry and hair. I followed the path of a grandmother, aunt and multiple cousins. What do you enjoy most about your career? I love the freedom. An industry that no only welcomes all forms of people but celebrates their uniqueness, was invaluable to a trans person. Not only that but I now have a perfect opportunity to give back to my community and connect people! Getting to give the safe, loving experience I always had in salons to people that often haven't has been incredibly fulfilling. Why Skullz? Even in the industry I love there’s still plenty of bad apples. Places that gate keep or think hair needs gender are far more common than many would think. Not at Skullz! Even in Columbus I heard about this gay woman owned salon right in the heart of Kent’s campus. A small business known for incredibly rigorous education and being “the gay salon” sounded exactly like what I needed. At Skullz, not only is gender just not a part of the service, the individualism of the stylists and our clients is the focus. Stylists are treated(and paid!) like the high end professionals they are! Educated and then trusted on how to run their chair hands on by Angelique and Amanda who have had over 20 and 15 years in the industry respectfully. Skullz focuses on growth and community- something this industry needs much, much more of! |
