TCE - Key Persons


Amy Rodríguez

Job Titles:
  • Director Stylist
Trying to keep up with Amy is like keeping up with the Kardashians (minus all the crazy drama). Not only does she adore making her clients hair beautiful and healthy in the salon, you can also find her out of the salon chasing down fun & upbeat music, playing a rousing game of soccer, diving deep into a historical fiction novel, soaking up sun rays at the beach, being outdoors, hiking, drawing or watching some of that deliciously trashy reality TV. Keep up if you can. ;)

Brooke Hesse

Don't tell anyone, but we finally figured it out… Brooke is secretly a Unicorn! She sprinkles magic on everything she does, her (gorgeous) hair transforms into a new colorful creation every month, and everyone who is in her presence leaves completely dazzled by her vivid colors, brilliant cuts & the next level conversations that happen in her chair. Omg! Not only that, she's also the best boss anyone could ask for, our fierce & fearless leader, & following in her Mom's (Kathleen) steps to take over running TCE. Like we said, totally a magical Unicorn.

Kathleen Nelsen-Hesse

Meet Kathleen, the OG of TCE! That's right, the one who started it all. Say hello to our very own salon founder! When she's not making her clients-turned-friends grin ear to ear in her salon chair, you can find her dancing, working out, devouring the next book on her extensive reading list, boating, skiing, biking (...are you exhausted yet because we are…) binging Netflix, eating great food, and drinking good wine. Basically? She's a badass inside & outside the salon and a ton of fun to hang with. You're totally welcome. ;)

Kenna Runge

What if we told you easy going and bubbly Kenna was not only a fabulous hair stylist but also a badass mama (to the bestest daughter), lover of delicious coffee and hilarious memes, dreamer of that bucket-list Hawaiin vacay and she always (always) has ice cream in her freezer & cheesy 2000's shows & movies on her watchlist? Yeah, we'd be obsessed with her too. But then again, we already are! Her love of creative freedom & personal expression is infectious.

Krista Knudson

When Krista is not helping her favorite clients (spoiler alert: they're all her fav!) days be made at the salon with her amazing facials, lash lifts & tints and body waxing services...she's probably learning KPop dances. Or creating amazing art. Or dreaming about that South Korea visit (hellllo amazing culture & food). Or kicking ass in video games. Or watching the cringiest & corniest 2000's movies (we love it). We think it's safe to say she totally passes the "awesome human" test.

Mara Knudson

Down for a crazy fun time in and out of the salon chair? Meet Mara! Lover of cute animals, hysterical reality TV (read: trashy, duh!) anime & video games, good music & movies she's always up to something fun. Mara fell in love with doing hair thanks to our very own magical, fearless leader Brooke Hesse (aww!) and has been whipping up incredible hair creations ever since. We heart it. And you will heart Mara so hard, too. Weird? Nah.
