Sarah - owner, stylist
Growing up with a love of beautifying, Sarah started cutting her barbie’s hair and graduated to real people at the age of 12. Licensed at 19, with lots of experience already behind her, Sarah has made her love of people and hair mesh into a passion for this industry. She has spent her 18+ years of hair in Phoenix and Duluth perfecting her craft and clientele, and purchased CROWNED in the fall of 2019. Sarah loves to do blendy, lived-in, dimensional colors and loves to help with the transition to “natural highlights” (wisdom lights, unicorn silver, gray hair, whatever you want to call it). Sarah is also exploring and enjoying the art of teaching younger stylists, sharing her experiences and spreading the joy for this craft. In her spare time Sarah helps lead a local youth group with her husband, spends lots of time at the lake with her three little girls, and is slowly learning how to garden with her dozens of chickens following her around the yard.

Mel - stylist
Melanie, or Mel as we call her around here, was born and raised in Cloquet, MN. She spent her cosmetology school days in Superior, WI and began her career behind the chair in 2022. She loves COLOR, healthy blonde balayages, melty brunettes, and Pinterest-worthy dimension. She also enjoys long length haircuts. Mel’s goal is to help every guest in her chair feel beautiful, confident, and relaxed. You will love spending time in her chair as she is down-to-earth, a great listener, secretly hilarious, and always keeping up with the latest trends. When she is out of the salon she is having lots of fun shopping, listening to music, and spending time with her family and friends.
