The Stylist Team
Morgan
Owner & Stylist
I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2013, and I feel like it has been two years since getting started. When you love your job, the time just flies! My favorite looks to create are dimensional, long-lasting blondes and body sugaring. I'm always trying to learn and educate myself to be a better stylist for you!
If you catch me outside of the salon I'm probably with my family. I'm a proud mama of my 2 boys, a loving husband and the sweetest old pup we call Frankie.
Where you can find me:
- Cuddling up on the couch with my hubby watching The Office.
- Drinking a Moscow mule with my family and friends preferably in, or by water.
- Listening to all the audiobooks and podcasts on my drives to and from work.
- Bargain shopping, I can tell you where all the good deals are at!
- Going to Prairie Du Chien in the summer to our little "Glamper"
As a mama I know how hectic life can get. Feeling like you just can't get ahead of that ever growing list and just wanting a break. I want to be that little break and oasis for you, even if it's just for a couple of hours. So come in, relax, grab a snack and a coffee. or better yet make it a wine! Let the stresses of the day melt off and know that you are in great hands!
tricia
Stylist
My name is Tricia Rose and I have been in the cosmetology industry since 2007. I have been in Cedar Falls since 2017, before that I owned my own salon In Lake Tahoe. We moved back to Iowa after we had our 2 kids to be closer to family and raise them in the good midwest! I look forward to everyday I work! I thrive in a busy environment where I can utilize my skills to serve others. The joy I get from helping my clients achieve their goals and witnessing their satisfaction is unparalleled. They are more than just clients; they are partners in a journey toward success. Their faith in my expertise and the collaborative spirit we share drive me to continuously improve and innovate. Building strong relationships with my clients is the cornerstone of my work ethic.
I specialize in blonding, hair extensions and facial threading! I am also known for being speedy. Being quick in my work while maintaining quality is a valuable skill that required dedication and the right strategies of years of practice and experience. While speed is essential, it's crucial to strike a balance to ensure that quality is not sacrificed. I attract a lot of clients that lead a busy life but still want to block out time for self care!I have a husband and 2 children. Outside of work I love to stay active in any way, we love traveling and exploring new places together.
Another significant aspect of my life is supporting our children in their athletic pursuits. Watching them play sports is a source of immense pride and joy. In blending my professional and personal life, I find a balance that keeps me motivated and inspired. My dedication to work and family fuels my drive to succeed and make a positive impact in all that I do.
If you’re a client of mine or have been in my chair I am so grateful for you and love meeting new clients that put their trust in my hands. Can’t wait to see you at Hint & Hue Salon. This salon is truly special and we are a little family that has laughter and conversations that flow and makes your visit a delightful escape from the everyday hustle.
Bethanne
Stylist
Hi! My name is Bethanne Schroeder, and I am a native of the Cedar Valley! I have been in the hair industry since 2014, and I look forward to many more years to come. Growing up, getting my hair done was an obsession. It always gave me the best feeling in the world which lead me to the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis for cosmetology. Being a hairstylist allows me to cultivate my creativity while also providing a human connection. I love doing hair, but I also love connecting with the people who sit in my chair. I cherish all they have brought to my life. It brings me joy when a client tells me they love their hair.
With hair being such a huge passion of mine, I am constantly traveling to participate in the best education. Education is a huge part of my career, and will always strive to be better! There is always something more to learn, and I enjoy being a constant student!
My favorite looks to create are healthy dimensional blondes, brunettes, and redheads! I love to make colors look very natural and organic. A true love of mine is balayage which is the art of hand painting highlights, and it will brighten my day if I get to do one! I also enjoy cutting. I love to create any cut, but I specifically enjoy short textured cuts, pixies, and curly hair. I am very detailed and will always take the time to make things "just right".
When I am not at the salon, I love to be home with my husband Jace and fur babies Dolly and Marcia. Want to see me light up? Talk to me about your dogs or fur babies and we could talk for hours. As travel freaks and foodies, my husband and I are always dreaming of our next adventure or culinary experience. I love to hear about people’s travel experiences and where the food places to eat are!
In the salon, I aim to create a fun and comfortable environment. Sit down, relax, and allow me to do all the thinking. It's important to me you leave feeling confident and happy with your look. I would love to see you in my chair and collaborate on some amazing hair!
Autumn
Stylist
Hello! My name is Autumn Grace and I have been a hair colorist for seven years. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, camping, and finding the most aesthetically pleasing coffee shops on my cross country road trips.
I particularly love expanding my knowledge by traveling to different cities for color, and hair cutting education. As a Portland native I was constantly surrounded by tons of creativity, fashion, and changing trends growing up. As a result I enjoy being able to recreate trends and techniques that I love behind the chair.
I currently specialize in lived in colors, blond transformations, and textured hair cuts. I believe that hair goals are attainable with the right education, patience, and a killer at home routine.
I look forward to working with you on your journey to your dream hair. For some examples of my work feel free to check out my Instagram @hairbyautumngrace.
