Meet the Dream Team

AMY LEE

Co-Owner, Master Stylist & Colorist, Certified Handtied Extension Specialist 

Amy has an artistic enthusiasm for great hair and makeup and believes both represent the whole person. To that end, she’s dedicated to giving her clients not only the look they desire, but also the tools and the knowledge to achieve her salon look at home. Amy’s talent is surpassed only by her allegiance to her many clients and her relentless pursuit of the hottest trends and techniques, thanks to regular classes and seminars. When she’s not behind the chair at Salon Renew, Amy spends her time with husband Brandon, son Emyrson and daughters Haidyn, Annistyn, and Mavyn. She loves working out and thrives on being outdoors – except in the harsh Indiana winters!

Chelsea Hyndman

Co-Owner, Master Stylist & Colorist, Certified Handtied Extension Specialist

Chelsea is well known for her devotion to fantastic hair, and strives to make each client look and feel their absolute best. Chelsea works hard to help her clients meet their beauty goals, and built her business by ensuring each client is overly satisfied with her exceptional level of service. Chelsea is creative and artistic, approaching each appointment with fresh ideas. She stays on top of the most current techniques, thanks to her commitment to ongoing education. She believes it is important to be excellent at all types of colors and techniques and never stops perfecting her skills. When she’s not taking great care of her clients (friends) at Salon Renew, she can be found “glamping” on a beach somewhere in Michigan or hanging out with her pal Mickey Mouse. She gets copious amounts of love and attention from her devoted husband, her sweet sons, Jamison, Emmett, and Finlee, and their furry bundle of energy, Sookie.

Cayla Cureton

Senior Stylist & Colorist, Certified Handtied Extension Specialist

Cayla has a fresh, energetic approach to beauty. Inspired by big sister Chelsea, Cayla loves giving clients movie star color, using balayage and ombre techniques. Cayla is also a licensed Esthetician, which means, not only can she give you fabulous hair, but she can give you that glowing skin you are longing for! In her off-duty hours, Cayla loves outdoor activities, Krispy Kreme donuts, spending time with her husband Ryan, son Harvey, daughter Emmaline, and her sweet puppy Lemon, though not necessarily in that order --- the girl seriously loves Krispy Kreme.

Kelly Kreischer

Esthetician, Certified Massage Specialist, NovaLash Certified Lash Extension Specialist

Kelly is an experienced esthetician, specializing in massage, skincare and waxing since 2007. Her laid back personality sets clients at ease, and her affinity for helping others through body work and healthy skincare nourishes the physical body as well as the inner spirit. She places a big emphasis on continuing education to ensure she’s always bringing the latest and greatest services, techniques, advice, and products to her clients. Kelly and her husband, Rick, were married in 2007 and have three boys: Braden, Owen and Will. In her free time, she loves to read books and go running, but not at the same time.

Jessica Dove

Hair Stylist

In the time that Jessica has been at Salon Renew, she has dedicated herself to learning all of the new trendy styles and techniques. Her favorite technique is balayage. She strives to keep every client's hair healthy, while also being stylish. She believes patience and time are the key to getting dream hair. She married her high school sweetheart in 2019 on a beach in Grand Cayman. She and her husband have three little ones together, Gavin , Piper, and Lennon, their youngest princess. Oh, and don’t forget Captain Mo (everyone's favorite), the family cat. When she is not at the salon, you can find her roaming the aisles of the nearest Target. She can’t help herself when she finds a good bargain! When not in a pandemic, she enjoys exploring the city for new restaurants. We aren’t saying she is clumsy, but she has broken six bones throughout her life. So when you meet Jessica, go gentle on the hand shake or hug.

Lexi bohlinger

Hair Stylist, Certified Handtied Extension Specialist

Lexi has been serving the beauty industry since 2017. In the salon, she loves every aspect of hair color and building personal yet professional relationships with her clients. Wondering where Lexi goes while your color is processing? There’s a good chance you can find her in the back eating a lunchable or sneaking in a sweet treat or 2. Lexi strives to make sure each of her clients leave the salon with a smile on their face, and she loves when her first-time clients become regulars! On her days away from the salon, she spends her time at home with her husband, Austin, and their cat, LeBron, and dog, Kobe. She also enjoys trying new restaurants with Austin or simply getting outside and enjoying the great outdoors!

Paige Backman

Hair Stylist, Certified Handtied Extension Specialist

There is just something so warm about Paige. You will feel it the moment you meet her. She always puts her heart and soul into giving each client the hair of their dreams. Her ultimate goal is for you to have the confidence and ability to recreate your “salon hair” at home. Paige’s favorite color trend to create is natural “lived-in” color. When you stick with natural, you will never be out of style. Paige is married to Ty, her biggest fan, who just so happens to be her middle school/high school sweetheart. She loves to spend time with her family, friends, and pup, Sophia. Paige’s lifestyle consists of staying active and being in the gym. If she isn’t working, it’s a pretty safe bet you can find her in the gym. The girl is dedicated; she gets in 5-7 workouts a week! It is pretty obvious she strongly values health and fitness. She believes all beauty starts from within and should be honored by fueling our bodies properly. The more you get to know Paige, the more you will love her.

Abby lengerich

Hair Stylist, Certified Handtied Extension Specialist

Have you had a head massage by Abby? If not, you are missing out! The girl can get anyone to melt at the shampoo bowl. Abby strives to give everyone that sits in her chair their dream hair. She will always go the extra mile to make your dream a reality (but only with hair, she doesn’t have any connections to Ryan Gosling). Not only is she making people melt while giving them their dream hair but she is also a phenomenal braider. Luckily she has two sisters to practice her mad braiding skills on. Abby has a serious love for traveling -- she has been to 31 states and 5 different countries. As soon as she can, she plans to add more stamps to her passport. When she isn’t at the salon or out of the country, she spends her time playing volleyball, relaxing with family and friends, drinking pickle juice, or taking on a new crafty venture. (Yes, we threw drinking pickle juice in there on the sly, because that part about her is just weird!) Abby is genuine and true. She is treasured by everyone that gets to know her, and we have no doubt you will feel the same.

Kyra schinbeckler

Hair Stylist, Lash Extension Specialist 

Kyra wasted no time getting into the beauty industry. She graduated from high school early in December of 2019, and immediately enrolled in cosmetology school the very next month. Right before graduating, she joined our team as a receptionist and behind-the-scenes assistant, and was more than ready to step into an assistant role the day she graduated cosmetology school. She has embraced honing her skills and expanding her knowledge to ensure every client gets the hair of their dreams and feels beautiful in their skin. A little known fact about Kyra (that still blows us away): she showed livestock for 10 years on a national level, even winning Reserve Grand Champion twice! On her days off, Kyra is either at home with her dogs, Charli and Rip, bingeing Netflix and browsing Amazon, or she’s exploring the wide array of dining and shopping options around Fort Wayne. 

Heidi krock

Esthetician, Massage Therapist, Lash Extension Specialist

As an esthetician for 9 years and a massage therapist for 4, Heidi takes what she already knows and combines it with newer procedures and techniques to bring the absolute best to her clients. She’s a self-acclaimed skin and anatomy nerd. Seriously, have you gotten a massage from this girl? She knows the body, how it moves, and how to ease the worst kind of pain! Every chance that she gets, Heidi can be found outside, hiking, swimming, gardening, or going on bike rides with her Husband, Kevin, her kids, and their dog. After 8 years, Heidi and Kevin recently got married in the Caribbean! 

Jordan Peters

Hair Stylist, Esthetician

Jordan is double licensed in esthetics and cosmetology. So, while she's been heavily hands-on on the hair side of our salon, she has hopes to join our esthetics girls in the future to offer more services for our clients. Jordan enjoys meeting clients and listening to their stories during their visits. If you're the talkative type at the shampoo bowl, you're in for some good conversation with Jordan!  In her spare time, Jordan loves spending time with family and bowling with friends. She's been bowling for 6 years, and has actually been on a bowling league for 3.5 years. So, maybe we need to plan a staff bowling outing so she can show off her skills!

mckenna marsh

Hair Stylist, Esthetician

You aren’t the only one that wants to join our team when you come in for your regular appointments. We first met McKenna as a client. She just so happened to be dual licensed in esthetics and cosmetology so we snagged her up immediately. 
McKenna is passionate about bringing out inner confidence in all of her clients - flawless skin and beautiful hair are just an added bonus.
She loves getting to know her clients and hearing all of their stories. By the end of your appointment not only will you be relaxed but you will have gained a friend. 
The chances of seeing McKenna outside the salon are very slim, unless you are a member at her gym or work at Crumbl. She is very regimented about getting her work out in 3-5 days a week and takes her heath and nutrition very seriously but don’t you dare tempt her with a Crumbl cookie. On top of working at the best salon in Fort Wayne and staying fit, McKenna is a full time radiology student. She loves learning in all areas of her life and she is always down for a challenge. After you meet McKenna you will understand why we fired her as a client and hired her as a teammate.
