Ta'Varia Thompkins - Front of the house
Hi, I’m Ta’Varia! I’m a nursing student at Collin College, originally from Melissa, Texas. My journey has been shaped by both academics and athletics — playing volleyball taught me teamwork, resilience, and how to push through challenges, while nursing has fueled my passion for helping others.
I love combining those experiences to grow as a leader and as someone who makes a positive impact in my community. Whether I’m studying, working with classmates, or on the court, I’m always striving to bring energy, dedication, and heart into everything I do.

Shannon Middleton - Senior Stylist
With over 10 years of experience as a licensed cosmetologist, Shannon brings both skill and passion to every service she provides. After taking a meaningful break to raise her children, she’s returned to the salon with a renewed love for creating confidence through beautiful hair.
Blonding services are her passion, but she enjoys working with all colors and tones to help each client find their perfect look. Shannon also has a special talent for blowouts and believes in empowering women through education—teaching clients how to care for and style their hair so it looks amazing every day, not just when they leave the chair.
Her goal is simple: to make every guest feel beautiful, confident, and cared for.
