Prior to joining the Ombu Team, Lisa began her styling career at California Concept. She worked there for 33 years before the salon closed their doors. Lisa has always lived in the Edmonds area.

Sarah has been working with hair since 2004. She has been a master hair stylist and color specialist at a local salon for the last 17 years. She specializes in updos for all your special occasions.

"I love making my clients look and feel their best," Sarah says.

When she is not working in the salon, she's spending time with her young son going on walks, small hikes, and playing in parks.

Sarah was drawn to hair and style at an early age. She began by giving herself and her friends haircuts in the 7th grade. She continued to do so all the way up until she finally made it official and attended the Gary Manuel Aveda Institute. She graduated in 2005.

She is passionate about working with hairs' natural texture and works to intuitively create soft, lived-in hairstyles. She uses a combination of dry cutting, wet cutting, scissors and razors to help the hair effortlessly be hand-styled and air-dried or diffused. She welcomes curly, wavy, and straight-haired clients. Sarah begins each haircut with a thorough consultation to get to know your hair, lifestyle and vibe. Please don’t hesitate to ask for a silent appointment to allow for some quiet time to sit and enjoy your pampering.

Sarah is also a Reiki Master and Sound Healer and looks forward to possibly incorporating these healing modalities into her haircuts. When Sarah is not in the salon she loves hanging out with her son and daughter, hiking, gardening, cooking, and being in nature with her husband.

It is a fun and satisfying part of my day to give my clients new ideas and suggestions that may just make their day a little easier and make their skin a little healthier.”
