Alyssa Hare

ABOUT ALYSSA

Maybe you're stopping by as a longstanding client or maybe you're a fresh new face ready to level up your life and business. Regardless, I am so glad you've found your way here! My name is Alyssa Hare. I am a business coach to hairstylists & beauty industry professionals as well as a stylist behind the chair of 13 years and counting. Besides the art of hair, one of my biggest passions is the revolutionizing of the beauty industry as a whole. I am constantly educating myself on ways to better serve my clients inside and outside of the salon through receiving year around coaching of my own. Besides the abundance of time I spend being a mother and wife, I think it's fair to say I spend most of my days obsessing over ways to encourage and inspire my peers on how we can collectively elevate the industry, as a whole. Have any questions? I would love to hear from you. Go ahead and send me a message!

Emilia Yoell

ABOUT EMILIA

Hello I’m Emilia! I’m so excited to be finding a new home here at GSS. With 13 years in the hair industry and 9 spent behind the chair, my journey began as a receptionist in my first salon. It was there that I witnessed the way a client’s energy would shift the moment they walked into the salon, and how it transformed even further after their hair was done. From there, my passion for hair grew, and I dove into the world of vivid colors, embracing the creativity and excitement it brought. As I enter this exciting new era in my career at GSS I’m focusing on enhancing natural lived in colors and diving into the art of hair extensions. Whether you’re here for root coverage, a fresh haircut, or something a little more daring, I’m here to make sure you leave feeling your best! I’ve been told I have an excellent memory for the little details, and I love connecting with my clients over the small things. But I’ll admit—no matter how many times I see you, I’ll probably need to check where you part your hair! I can’t wait to meet you and help bring your hair dreams to life!
