Just returning from Redken's Symposium, Bri is ready to bring her creative ideas with her bubbly personality to every guest. Brides and prom girls always leave happy with her updo looks.

When not in the salon you can find her serving up delicious coffee beverages.
Paige has been with our team for over 12 years. She knows that the foundation to any good style is the haircut. Taking in all the cutting training that we offer and not only learning but perfecting it, is what Paige brings to every guest.

When not in the salon you will find her with her two young children, working out, and getting it done.
Kathy Spangler is the salon's chief bean counter. Her relationship with the salon goes way back to when her daughter worked for us as a receptionist after we first opened in 1999. Kathy later became our bookkeeper part-time and handles all our accounting and payroll needs. She is an important part of our daily operations, not only because of her work in the office but because of the support and guidance she gives to all who work in the salon. Kathy enjoys the semi-retired life by spending time with her two grandchildren that live in the area and with her other two granddaughters that live in New York. Kathy loves to go and enjoy extended visits with them.
Connie joined COB's almost 15 years ago. After a short time with another salon Connie knew she wanted a different path. She was looking for more knowledge and training and she is still passionate about always wanting to learn more. Always ready to attend a class, she enjoys bringing a new looks and techniques to her guests. Giving each guest her undivided attention and of course her New York (Queens) attitude, she strives to give an exceptional experience.

Missy joined the COB's team over 17 years ago as a Licensed Esthetician. She brings years of experience and knowledge to her guests. To say she is a waxing expert would not do her justice. From eyebrows to toes and all areas in-between Missy has waxed it. "Waxing helps my guests feel better about themselves", says Missy. Facials, peels and excellent home care recommendations are also skills Missy shares with her guests. Home time is spent with her family and traveling as often as possible.

Discovering and perfecting new trends to bring to her guests is what Anna does every day. Hanging out with friends and redecorating her house is what you'll find her doing in her off time.
