Our Team
Welcome!
Beauty Bar is a full-service salon and spa offering hair, nails, waxing, facials, eyelash extensions, and more!
Owners Andrea and Michelle have been best friends since cosmetology school. They wanted to create a unique environment for clients to come in, have your hair and nails done while feeling like you are on the TV show Cheers – where everybody knows your name!
Their vision became a reality in 2016 when they opened their doors on Zuck Road. It was a cute and modest 3 chair salon for the two of them and their good friend. Fast forward 2 years and 8 stylists later, Beauty Bar outgrew their tiny space.
In 2018, the salon moved to its current location and continued to grow. They quickly added to their team and the services provided. Soon they out-grew, the once spacious salon, and started to feel cramped again.
December 2019 was a very exciting month for Andrea and Michelle! Beauty Bar expanded to over double its original size. They are now a 20-person team are proud to call Beauty Bar their happy place!

Carra Miller
Nail Artist
Hey! I'm Carra! I've been a nail artist for about 8 years. I was a massage therapist, but wanted a change, so I decided to try something else in the industry. I've always loved doing my own nails, so here we are! I love animals, especially cats, and I have 4 to prove it. Music... not sure I could live without it. I am also a plant nerd. My succulents (over 80 in total) put a smile on my face. Without learning to keep them alive I would have been bored to tears during quarantine. I love camping, repurposing furniture, spending time with my other half, Paul, our family, and friends. Most days I think to myself, "is this really my job?" I get to laugh everyday! I love my Beauty Bar family and clients more than you can every imagine! I have a full schedule but always accept new clients!
