Hi, I’m Sheena! Co-owner of Drake Nelson Salon. I am a color specialist and certified in Balayage and Invisible Bead Extensions®️ Certified.
After 15 years in the industry Rebekah and I decided we needed to cultivate a sustainable working environment. A place where Kindness comes first. A place of no judgement. A place that feels special without being intimidating. A place to thrive.
I want every person who visits Drake Nelson Salon to wake up everyday loving who they see in the mirror both inside and out.

Hi, I am Rebekah. Co-owner of Drake Nelson Salon. I am Invisible Bead Extensions®️ Certified.
We have created a perfect environment of passionate, caring, and supportive women and I couldn’t be more excited. I have had the privilege of making my guests laugh and feel their best for the last 15 years. What keeps me thriving for more is seeing the smile on their faces as they leave my chair.

Hi, I’m Cooper. I’ve been licensed to create since 2012 and I’m Invisible Bead Extentions®️Certified. I’m currently riding out one of the greatest adventures I’ve ever been on with the best women in the industry. I love being surrounded by women who inspire me and are constantly pushing me to be the best version of myself, even if it’s out of my comfort zone.
As a stylist I feel like it’s my job to make sure you leave my chair feeling confident in your style as well as your at home maintenance so you can recreate your salon look, day in and day out, until the day you come back! I am definitely passionate about extensions. Seeing someone’s reaction to their new hair for the first time is the greatest feeling in the world! It’s totally an “I’m not crying, you’re crying” moment.
When I’m not at work you can find me slaying dragons with my kids, sidelining at my daughters gymnastics, watching the Mariners with my husband, or mastering new recipes from Pinterest.

Hi, I'm Kenzie! I've been in the hair industry for 5 years. I'm just as excited about doing hair today as I was 5 years ago when I first dug my hands into it. Blondes are my FAV!! But anything I can do to give my client confidence is my goal. I live right here in North Tacoma! I love walking to local businesses, decorating my place and hanging with my fur babies. Hair is my thing, I like to think of myself as a 'hairapist'. I'm here to listen, be a friend and make your day!

Hi! I'm Baylie! I've always had a love for hair and the beauty industry. I was told growing up: "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.” That couldn't be more true! For the past 4 years I have been a color specialist. My absolute favorite look to create is lived-in-color. My goal as a stylist is to give my clients believable "Did you just spend a year in Hawaii?" kind of color! I love giving someone an effortless, beautiful look they can recreate at home. Blonding is my favorite, whether that is a traditional sun-kissed balayage or a bright impactful modern balayage. Side note: My favorite local spot to grab a bite is Moshi Moshi. Get the Curry Ramen, you won’t regret it!

Hi! I'm Marsha! For as long as I can remember hair was always what I wanted to do when I grew up, now I'm grown and I'm doing it! I've been in the industry for 9 years now, right out of high school. What I love most about doing hair is being able to make women feel good about themselves and the fact that I get to instill that in my clients is a really great feeling. I take pride in truly listening and understanding my clients needs, wants and what fits their lifestyle. I've specialized in color my entire career and love to do it all! From low maintenance lived in color to high maintenance reds and everything in between. I'm excited to work with a team that is constantly learning, growing and pushing each other to get out of their comfort zones and be the best artists they can be. If I'm not at the salon you'll find me cooking like crazy, watching reality T.V., hanging out with friends and family or finding the best new restaurants in the area. If you ever need a recommendation on a new spot for a date night after your hair appointment I'm your girl to come to.

Hi, I’m Lyric. I’ve been in the beauty industry for about 7 years now. Ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to do hair, even sacrificed a few Barbie dolls along the way.
I am a mother of four. When I’m not working I love to read and I am a suppper nerd. Anything superheroes, Disney, or Harry Potter!
I came to Drake Nelson Salon because I had an opportunity to work with people that had as much integrity and passion for hair as I do. A place that fosters creativity and education, not just for the artists but for the clients as well, and importantly a place that believes in having a positive work life balance. I love what I do, and I look forward to getting to share that with you!

Hi! My name is Elle (some know me as Yubi). I am a microblading artist that offers different techniques to achieve your perfect brow.
I’ve always been obsessed with brows! It’s a key feature in your face because it frames your eyes. Since I do have a hair background, I understand the importance of the texture and density of your natural brow hair while achieving your optimal symmetry. Please feel assured that I am creating in a safe and sanitary space.
My purpose in life is to build women up and I am lucky enough to have a career that allows me to lift a woman’s confidence. This truly makes my heart happy. It’s important to me to connect with a community that understands this. We are not just making people pretty, we are in each other’s life for a reason.
In my free time, I love hanging out with my family (especially my dog) eat good food, and watch reality shows! If you want to talk about any of these, I’m your girl!
