In 1982 I started my cosmetology career. My business partner and I have owned Contempo since 1991. I love my clients and enjoy training and developing team players. We are a friendly salon that focuses on the latest trends.

Throughout the longevity of her career, she’s taken every opportunity to further her education, and loves learning new techniques and skills. Lisa lives by the idea that loving what you do truly leads to never working a day in your life. Giving someone the confidence they desire with a new look is what Lisa loves most about her career in cosmetology! Lisa’s personal experience has led to her being a cut and style specialist for anyone with thick and/or curly hair.

I’m a licensed esthetician that specializes in full body waxing and facials. While constantly looking for ways to expand my clientele, I have also been certified as a lash technician. Through my craft, I love helping people reach their skin goals and educating guests with product knowledge.

Makeup, facials, and spray tans are a few of my favorite services to perform along with getting to know my clients. I attend numerous continuing-ed classes each year so as to always be knowledgeable of the best techniques to use. Whether it's helping boost someone's confidence or helping them reach their goals—being in this industry is so gratifying!

In 2019 I started my career in Cosmetology at Capri College in Cedar Rapids. After finishing in February of 2021 I enrolled in the Esthetics program, and graduated for a second time in August of 2021. As a stylist I strive to make all my clients comfortable in their own skin. I enjoy providing services like haircuts, colors, and facials. I look forward to learning from and growing with Aveda. For anyone who needs it I am LGBTQ+ friendly.

My role at Contempo includes a wide range of services such as creating social media content, organizing wedding parties, coordinating marketing promos, inventory and even spray tans! Everyday, I try to make my stylists job easier so they can focus on their craft and guest satisfaction. Ultimately, helping to offer you with the best experience we can. Currently, I’m a senior at St. Ambrose working on my Bachelors in Business Administration through their online program.

Massage therapy has been my profession since 2019 at Contempo. My training includes Swedish massage for relaxation, hot stone, prenatal, Thai, and chair reflexology.
