Our Stylists

Find your perfect match.

Kahlie Smith

Hello there! I am Kahlie, the owner of the salon. I have been doing hair for 11 years and I absolutely love it. I LOVE learning new techniques and about new products. I specialize in haircuts, colors and my most recent adventure has been learning eyelash extensions which I am also loving. But my favorite part is the relationships that I have built with my clients.

When I am not at the salon, you will find me chasing after my 4 young kiddos, spending time with family, or camping in the summer. My husband, Garrett, is an Ag Loan Officer and also farms with his family.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you would like to book an appointment.

LeAnn Bartholow

Hello, I am LeAnn and have been a hairstylist for 24 years. I specialize in haircuts and colors.

Our salon provides a relaxed environment for our clients, that have become friends. I look forward to making them look and feel their best.

When I’m not at the salon, you can usually find me at one of my 3 kid’s activities or enjoying the lake.

Stacie Thielbar

My name is Stacie Thielbar. I’ve been a stylist for 23 years. Staying on top of the latest trends, for both men and women, by furthering my education has been essential throughout my career. I have a passion for creating natural looking color while keeping the integrity of the hair in mind. As a dedicated stylist, I strive to make each one of my clients feel great.

When I’m not at the salon, you will find me spending time with my family, attending church/school functions, and enjoying time with friends.

Irie Shway

Hello everyone! My name is Irie. I am so excited to begin my career at Escape Salon Suites. Growing up, I would have never thought I would be doing this. Here i am, doing it!! I chose this career because I enjoy building connections with clients while at the same time, delivering the results they want.

I am K’nyaw or as many of you may know as Karen. I was born in a refugee camp in Thailand. My parents took the chance they had to come to the United States, hoping for a better future for us. I can’t thank them enough for all their sacrifices for me to get to where i am today, providing my artistry to you.

I will be offering services such as gel x nails, lash extensions and hair services. I will also be adding facials in the near future. See you soon!
