I enjoy doing all things hair, but a few of my specialties are balayage and hair extensions (both Halo and Hothead hair extensions).

Hey beautiful! My name is Maddie TeSlaa, I’m so excited to potentially see you in my chair! I’m a stylist at Riley James Salon in Hudsonville Michigan just outside of Grand Rapids. I absolutely love making each guest feel beautiful and learn some tips and tricks to making styling at home easier. Some of my specialties include blonding, dimensional color, and curly girls. Blonding and dimensional color services can be anything from a balayage to a full head of highlights to create the amount of dimension you desire. And as a curly girl I’m very passionate about giving a great cut and teaching you how to work with your beautiful manes!

Hi I’m Jamie! I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist for 9 years. My passion for the beauty industry started much earlier than that though. As a kid I would set up mini salons in my room and put braids or buns in all my friends hair. What I love about my job is that it doesn’t feel like work, I get to spend time with all kinds of people and make them feel beautiful. I specialize in dimensional color, balayage, and foilyage.
Outside of being at the salon I spend time with my husband, family, friends and my puppy. I love teaching Zumba, traveling and simple nights home.
At this time I’m unable to accept new clients but please get in touch with me at 616-848-6176 to reserve a spot on my wait-list!

Hey, I’m Madison! I am a second generation hairstylist that is obsessed with helping people feel their most beautiful. In 2016 I moved to Nashville which is where I attended cosmetology school and started my career. As much as I miss my favorite city, moving home to be closer to family and raise my amazing baby boy has been such a blessing. Now I get the incredible opportunity to bring just a bit more beauty to the West Michigan area! Balayage, textured cuts and teaching my guests how to achieve their perfect hair at home are my absolute favorite things to do. I am accepting new guests and would love the opportunity of having you in my chair. If you have any questions about scheduling or the cancellation policy please don’t hesitate to message me!
