Our Team

Stephanie
Just a little background on me, I have held my Cosmetology license since 1998. Working the past several years in a few different areas of business, I always tell myself I was destined to get back into the salon. When Julie approached me with the offer to take the helm, I just knew it was time. So, after months of working and planning together, we were ready.
I do look forward to seeing you soon and please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your time in our salon a little more beautiful.

Gina
Hair Professional
Hey I’m Gina, don’t let my sweet and quiet demeanor fool you! This girl is a hair color powerhouse! I have been in the industry for 27 years! My knowledge of color, (my fave for grey coverage is Matrix!), is always expanding with my love for education. When I’m not behind the chair giving you a flawless look, you can most likely find me at a race track with my husband or cuddling with my new granddaughter!

Erin
Hair Professional
I have been a team member here at Hot Locks for almost 17 years! Throughout these 17 years I have soaked up as much education as I can! I love keeping up with the trends, balayages, babylights, shadow roots. You name it! But I also live for a classic and beautiful highlight. Education is very important to me. Whether it is to brush up on my basics or to learn a new and exciting technique in the wonderful world of hair, I am in! When I am not behind my chair I am busy raising 4 hilarious and lovely children, with my husband, Rick. We enjoy being together outside as much as possible. Flying kites, playing games, tending to a ginormous veggie garden or hiking the quarries around us.

Hey! I’m Cassie and you can find me in every corner of the salon. I received my cosmetology license in 2012 for hair and nails and I have been with Hot Locks ever since. Most recently, I have been trained and certified for eyelash extension application. I love a good Balayage, braiding and styling. I also enjoy my time at Hot Locks doing shellac manicures and creating personalized nail art designs! If I’m not behind the chair you can usually catch me at home cuddling my kitty, Minerva. Or at the Metroparks, I love being outside.

Keri
Hair / Nail Professional
I’m Keri, I came to Hot Locks five years ago easily fitting right into this crazy family. With almost 8 years of experience, I am a hair and nail force to be reckoned with. I love to give a good pedi and then move all the way up for a picture perfect up-style! I enjoy creating a look for my clients with color, cut and volume with Up All Night by Biomega, (My favorite product from Aquage). I specialize in Baylayage for a simple, subtle lift to a beautiful blonde. When I’m not coming up with new nail designs, I can be found working on new and exciting projects at my new house or planning get-togethers with my large family.
