Missy Peterson

Hair Stylist

Specialty – Vivid Colors and Dimensional Reds

Missy Peterson has been doing hair for 40 years, and she still loves the creativity that comes with being behind the chair. Her favorite tool is her shears because they give her the freedom to create something new with every client. She especially loves a good layered cut and the fact that hair is always changing—there’s always something new to learn and create!

When she’s not doing hair, Missy loves spending time with her family and exploring new places. She’s a proud mom to twins, Blake and Taylor, and if she had to pick a favorite season, summer wins every time. ☀️
