Alyssa Montes
Lead Stylist
I started out as an assistant at Art + Science while she was in cosmetology school. I graduated from Caldwell Community college in March of 2022. I really enjoy doing color services, and want to specialize in lived-in-blondes. I love getting to meet new people and I enjoy giving people the confidence that they need with their new hair. I am constantly learning new things and growing as a stylist.

Lydia Powers
Stylist
I’ve been part of the salon team for 4 years, and I love creating lived-in, effortless styles that help my clients feel confident and comfortable. I work a lot with blondes, brunettes, extensions, and Brazilian Blowouts. I’m all about healthy, beautiful hair and making sure you leave feeling refreshed and loving your look—whether that means adding some brightness, smoothing things out, or giving your hair a little extra length and volume.

Sophia Welch
Stylist
I graduated from the Aveda institute and have been behind the chair for 8years. My favorite things are pixie haircuts and creating beautiful natural blondes as well as brow waxing. Outside of work I enjoy being outside with my kids and family.
