Born and raised in Northwest Wyoming, I moved to Denver, Colorado, at 23 to pursue my passion for hair. I attended the Antoine Du Chez Academy, graduating in 2007, and began my career apprenticing under Ty Tomlinson, owner of Rockstar Industries Inc. Over the next 15 years, I worked at three salons voted Best of Colorado, refining my craft and expanding my expertise.
My career highlights include assisting in a 303 Magazine photoshoot featuring Mondo Guerra from Project Runway and participating in Denver’s Paper Fashion Show for two years. I have also trained extensively with industry leaders such as Chris and Sonya Dove of Wella and Nick Arrojo from What Not to Wear. My in-depth product knowledge spans Kerastase, Bumble and Bumble, Eufora, Kevin Murphy, Oya, and Aveda. Additionally, I have been certified for 10 years in Brazilian Blowout semi-permanent and Bio Ionic ReTeX permanent hair straightening systems.
Passionate about my craft, I take the time to listen to each client’s hair needs and desires. My goal is for every client to leave the salon feeling confident and beautiful, knowing they received expert care and personalized attention.

Hi, I’m Tina! I’m a North Carolina native and use the word “y’all” generously. I moved to Chippewa Falls in 2024, which is where my other half grew up.

Hi, I’m Tina! I’m a North Carolina native and use the word “y’all” generously. I moved to Chippewa Falls in 2024, which is where my other half grew up. My salon suite at Elements is called Love Buzz Beauty Bar LLC. I do haircuts, color, and styling services in the salon as well as on-location weddings and special event styling. I started my hair design career in 2013 in Austin, TX. My most exciting claim to hair styling fame was styling for a Lifetime movie called Remorse and for the cast of Conspirare, a Grammy winning choral ensemble.
I specialize in cutting curly hair, special occasion blow-outs, updos, thinning hair, grey blending, vibrant reds, and soft blended air-touch balayage highlights. I worked in a curly salon in Asheville, NC, where I learned the Deva Curl cutting method. As a fellow curly girl, I know the struggle to learn your own hair is real. I love teaching my curly clients how to love their curls every day through styling education. I love working with all hair types though, and all are welcomed.
In my free time, I enjoy playing music and going on hikes with my love and my dog, Elvira. I’m a big animal lover, and showing me pics of your pets is always encouraged. I look forward to seeing you soon!

In 2005, I started my career as a hair stylist at Cole's Salon in Burnsville, Minnesota where I completed their advanced training program. I worked there for over a year, and then moved back to Chippewa Falls in March of 2007, where I worked until 2013. From there I started my own studio salon, Elements Natural Salon, where I ran my bus
In 2005, I started my career as a hair stylist at Cole's Salon in Burnsville, Minnesota where I completed their advanced training program. I worked there for over a year, and then moved back to Chippewa Falls in March of 2007, where I worked until 2013. From there I started my own studio salon, Elements Natural Salon, where I ran my business independently. This was a perfect start to owning my own business, but as of May 2018, Elements Salon Studios was created! I am now the proud owner of this salon, and I share the space with additional stylists who rent out space and run their salons independently. My areas of specialty are precision haircuts, foiling, gray coverage and I also LOVE cutting naturally curly hair. You can never stop learning in this industry, which is why I try to stay on top of current trends and take continuing education classes. I have taken advanced courses with Aveda, Bumble and Bumble, Kevin Murphy, Intelligent Nutrients, MOP, Wella, Framesi, and GHD. I have also traveled to the Aveda Advanced Academy in New York City, for the latest hair cutting techniques. My number one goal is for my clients to be confident and satisfied with their hairstyle. I absolutely love every aspect of my job and hope to see you very soon!
