Pam
About Pam

Pam has been an aspiring hair designer since childhood. She initially started in 2001 as an amateur makeup artist and hairstylist for the dance program while attending the University of Nevada, Reno. After graduating, she decided to pursue the art full-time. With her training under Toni and Guy, Redken, Aveda, and now Bumble and Bumble educators, she specializes in traditional and contemporary cuts, colors and styles. Hairstyling is an art that she is passionate about, as evidenced by her commitment to continuous education. She enjoys meeting and talking with people and loves to work creatively with her hands. Pam enjoys a challenge and loves to delve into the non-traditional, but that does not distract from her primary objective: Helping you to look your best!

Ana M

Whether it is behind the chair, or in the kitchen, creative juices just flow through her. With 25 years behind the chair and 3 years as a chef and owner to her acclaimed restaurant, Ana Maria's, the passion for hair was just too strong.

An expert in cutting, color and highlights, to go along with her top notch education, she is one you can trust. To feed her passion she has for the art of hairstyling, Ana Maria has sought to better herself with continuing education with Vidal Sassoon, Wella, UNITE, and Redken.

Jose
Jose

Cherishing all the relationships he has built through his 25+ years in the industry, it is no surprise that he is so successful. With a hunger for education, Jose has studied with Vidal Sasson, Color USA, and Redken (3 times). Specializing in color and cut, and a gift for conversation, Jose is a vital team member at Rinse Salon.

Shannon

Instead of enrolling in a traditional cosmetology school Shannon began her career as an apprentice, training directly under a master stylist in a high-end salon. As a result Shannon has received extensive in salon training from several master stylists as well as studio training with educators including Vidal Sasson, Wella and Trucco. She believes that having been taught from day one in a working salon has given her a thorough understanding of the art and science of hairstyling as well as a deep respect for the client-stylist relationship. Pursuing a career as a hairstylist was a natural choice; the creativity and attention to detail necessary for any successful hairstylist are second nature to her. However she believes that even more important than advanced skill or natural creativity is the ability to listen and truly understand the clients' needs and desires. Communication is key, and Shannon is committed to listening intently to her clients and working with them to create their individual look. In the past three years as a stylist Shannon has developed a true love for her craft and she is thrilled to bring that passion to Rinse Salon.

Elizabeth thrives off making people feel beautiful and prides herself on ensuring that each and every client leaves completely happy and satisfied. With a passion for cutting and color, from straight hair to curly hair, Elizabeth is experienced and confident working with a wide range of hair textures.
