My name is Amy Nichols, the owner of Shades Body Studio & More and Skilled Touch Massage, LLC. I am also a full time demand manager at Organic Valley.

Family is and will always be my number
one priority and that includes my Shades family. I enjoy getting to know every person that I meet. I have
many goals and I never stop trying to achieve them; this, you can see in the work I have accomplished.

Hi I'm Sydney! My bio is coming soon. 

2008 graduate of LaCrosse's WTC massage therapy program with 14 years of experience as well as licenses and certifications in Swedish relaxation, deep tissue therapy, sports massage, prenatal and infant/child massage, raindrop aromatherapy, hot stone and shirodhara, Oncology, hospice care massage, and more. 

I am a certified makeup artist and licensed esthetician! I have been a makeup artist for 4 years specializing in weddings. In July of 2020, I graduated as an esthetician from the Salon Professional Academy. I am the owner of Radiance Beauty & Esthetics located in Sparta. I offer a variety of services from facials, body wraps, chemical peels, full body waxing, lash and brow tints, cosmetics teeth whitening, and full airbrush or traditional makeup applications. My goal is to enhance your beauty and make you feel your absolute best! Outside of work, I am a mother of two children. We enjoy camping, traveling, and keeping busy with extracurricular activities! I look forward to working with you and helping you to feel your absolute best and achieve ultimate relaxation. 

Hello! My name is Megan Meincke and I graduated from cosmetoloty school 13 years ago from The Salon Professional in Onalaska, WI. I have been enjoying coloring and cutting hair since finishing school and opening up my new salon Simply You. I'm excited to keep growing and learning as a person and stylist throughout the rest of my career.

I received my Master Level of Cosmetology from St. Cloud Beauty College in St. Cloud, MN. I have over 33 years of salon experience. I have worked in a variety of salon settings, and I have learned from each of them, but I am very proud to now be the owner and hairstylist of Styles by Becky. I enjoy working with people to help them look and feel their best. 

I've been doing hair since I was very young; probably around the age of 9 and decided to turn my passion/love into a career. I achieved my PhD at The Academy of Eau Claire, WI, then started working at Salon Medusa for 4 years. A short time after that, I decided to be my own boss and open up my own salon. I had no idea my passion would lead me to be an entrepreneur of many traits today such as extensions, airbrush design, customized shave designs, face painting, and many other services. My wish is to give you a luxurious and unforgettable experience from the moment you walk in to The Edge Salon. I strive to be and give the best experiences. 

Hi, my name is Chelsea Luebke. I have over 13 years of experience in the beauty industry. I have worked in a salon in Ohio and have been a freelance hair and makeup artist for the past 12 years. My family and I recently moved to Wisconsin and I have continued freelance work for weddings across the state. I have been with Shades for the past 12 months. I chose to pursue this career because I love encouraging women to feel beautiful and confident no matter their age, size, or ethnicity. I started Only Prettier by Chelsea to continue this passion of making people feel beautiful inside and out. I love building a trusting relationship with my clients. My goal is to expand my knowledge and skill set to provide the best services to both new and current clientele.
