Becky – “Currently not accepting new clients”
SENIOR DESIGNER/SALON EDUCATOR
Meet Senior Designer Becky. She has been with Chémel Salon for over 18 years. She comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience, as she has been in the industry for nearly 20 years. Becky has become a color specialist and enjoys keeping up with all the latest trends, specifically balayage and hair painting, believing these techniques allow her to create a personalized look for every individual. Becky is quoted as saying “Stylists are truly artists who have a unique opportunity to utilize their skills in a creative way, as well as bond with clients on a personal level. As a cosmetology artist, I am proud of my accomplishments thus far. I have built a wonderful clientele full of amazing and inspiring individuals. Most recently, I’ve had the pleasure of taking students through Cosmetology school here at the salon where my students master the craft on all levels. I’m extremely grateful to be able to pass down my knowledge to the best of my ability and watch new talent learn, grow and thrive.
I look forward to the future as my journey continues; the best is yet to come!

Amber
STYLIST
Meet Amber, our newest addition to our stylist team!
At an early age the canvas of hair has become an interest to Amber, so it just seemed like a natural progression for her to go to school for Cosmetology and become licensed in 2022. As a licensed stylist, the sky’s the limit!
Amber has already found that doing blonding and color services ignites her passion, but now she has joined our Advanced Chemel Education program, she will be able to expand her knowledge in techniques & product education to support all of her guest’s needs. As her knowledge grows, she is eager to add more service to her skill set.
When you choose to become an intricate part of Amber’s education, she will grow with you in your hair journey. Amber will become your advocate for healthy, beautiful hair and will always strive to make sure every one of her guests leaves Che’mel feeling beautiful and confident.

What I said on social media: Tacoma area peeps! Tried a new salon today and it was so adorable, reasonably priced, inclusive, and I was in and out in less than an hour. They are low carbon footprint and are in the midst of completing a rain garden right outside the salon. Highly recommend. I saw Natasha and she was great. All the folks working seemed wonderful. In case you’re looking
