I’ve been doing hair since 1981.  I love the people I’ve met and what I’ve learned from them….    Creating a hair style that works for the individual — whatever that takes, that’s what I try to do.

B. Bella is the most comfortable and team oriented salon I have worked in!  I am having my 20 year anniversary of doing hair and am excited to be here.  The facts: 1.  Been stylin’ for 20 years.   2.  Been a Paul Mitchell National Color Educator for 3 years.  3.  I’m funny!!!

Time flies when you're having fun.  It is hard for me to believe that I've been doing nails for eight years now!  I not only love creating art everyday I work, I love that each of my clients feels better after coming to me.  For some of my clients it's a bright red polish, for others it's a clean and fresh French manicure.  Either way, I get a wonderful sense of accomplishment and contribution to making my clients more confident.

I’ve been working at B.Bella as a “shampoo girl” since my junior year of high school.  It has been so enjoyable.  I just couldn’t leave!  I am currently a full time student at UAA and work as a receptionist on the weekends.

I’ve been a hair stylist for 7 years.  I specialize in color, cuts and in eyelash extensions.  I had the opportunity to do hair in California for 3 years, but my heart is in Alaska.  I feel fortunate to have found my passion in life.  I can’t imagine doing anything else.

My name is Millie Tormey.  I have lived in Fairbanks for 20 years. My husband and I have 6 children, 2 of which still live in Fairbanks.   

We recently moved to Palmer because of my husband’s job.  Visiting B Bella, I instantly loved the salon and the atmosphere. Because of homeschooling and having such a busy family I only work part time. I enjoy doing cuts and perms, and spending quality time with my clients.

I am a fifth generation Alaskan.  I chose to travel Outside to California to attend “Paul Mitchell the School” in Costa Mesa.  While at school, I was chosen to be on Paul Mitchell’s design team.  We travelled around Orange County and the LA area as makeup artists and hairstylists.  I specialize in enhancing your natural beauty through flattering hi-lites, colors and cuts.  I also enjoy creating diverse looks through makeup – either soft and dewy or bold and dramatic.  I would love to help create your perfect I look. .

I am a happily married mom of two and have lived in Alaska for 17 years now. I have been doing hair, my passion, for 5 years.  I love it all but my favorite is probably hi-lites and colors and helping people with those problem areas. I Specialize in really listening to my clients and doing my best to help them achieve their ultimate goal or using my knowledge, honesty, and expertise to figure out what would work best for them.  Besides being a mom, this is truly one of the most rewarding jobs you can have and doing it with my B. Bella Family makes it my home away from home!

Starting a new career later in life took courage and determination but I “thought I could” and that was half the battle.  While in cosmetology  school I discovered nails and now I am licensed in both hair and nails.  I enjoy kids, seniors and first time pedicures.  Come see me and find out that you can teach an old dog new tricks! .

I was born and raised in Palmer, Alaska.  I attended a private cosmetology program at Kohler Academy in Scottsdale, Arizona.  I have traveled all the way to Australia for advanced training. I also got the opportunity to engage in a lot of charity work for the Phoenix Children's Hospital.  I love my job and could not ask for a more rewarding career.  I'm very fun and am always up for a challenge!  I do not specialize in one thing in particular simply because I enjoy it all!

Life is full of surprises!!!  I would never have guessed that I’d be working in my sister’s hair salon after retiring from my office job.  But it’s fun, challenging, and after a year and a half, I’s still learning something every day.  And the special people I get to work with make the difference for me.

Text Box: Kaye-Leigh Riley—Hair Stylist					Bronze Level

Available:   Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday

I am happily married to my high school sweetheart. We were both born and raised here in Palmer, hiking, fishing, and camping. Don't be mistaken I love being a woman; stylish, primped, and pampered. As a Stylist my number one goal is to make my clients feel beautiful, pampered, and refreshed when they leave. I love being creative with haircuts and colors, whether it is a fresh new style or classy, elegant look. Some of my fun side projects are Feathers, Tinsel, and my personal favorite Brazillian Blowouts.  

Available:  Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday

I have lived in and loved Alaska my whole life, I'm thrilled to be working in such a fun and creative environment and enjoy going to advanced classes to continue learning. I don't specialize in one thing, because I love it all.
