Heather Halbfass
Salon Owner/Hair Colorist/Certified Extension Specialist
My passion for anything fashion, hair and make-up is what lead me to become a cosmetologist. Since graduating from La’ James International College in 1998 my passion for the salon industry has grown and evolved with each passing year. I have a thirst for knowledge, and because of this I have had the opportunity to receive training at the Bumble and Bumble University in New York City, was selected to go to Vancouver to train in the Advocate Program for AG Hair Cosmetics, attended the Redken Show in Las Vegas, have taken several hands on classes with Wayne Grund, the founder of Surface Hair, and continue to attend beauty shows in the Midwest each year. These are a few of the many classes I have attended amongst Pravana color, Sorme Makeup, product knowledge, inspirational, and business related classes such as Champ Camp and Cash Flow Camp to help myself achieve success in this industry. I am certified in Perfectress Hair extensions and Easihair Pro extensions. As I love being a hair stylist and colorist my role here at Mod is evolving and my goal for the future is to continue learning so I can be a good mentor, teacher and coach to my amazing team here at Mod. Being able to work every day in an environment that thrives off teamwork is a real blessing. Owning Mod Hair Color Salon & Beauty Store is a dream come true and it challenges me to be a better version of myself each day.

I grew up hanging out in my mom’s salon, worked for the first time in a salon when I was 20 years old as a front desk professional, and graduated from La’James International College in 1998. I have been behind the chair ever since. I’m the proud co-owner of Mod Hair Color Salon & Beauty Store which I opened in 2011 with longtime friend Heather. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE hair color and creating new looks for my guests. I am also certified in both Perfectress connection extensions and Easihair Pro tape-in extensions. I enjoy learning the latest trends and techniques and am passionate about growing a strong team and developing Mod into THE place to go for exceptional hair color and cuts. I feel very blessed to be able to create my own work environment, and to have such a wonderful group of women to work with. It inspires me to keep learning and growing as both an owner and a colorist.

Mod Hair Color Salon & Beauty Store is a great place to work. I love how all the stylists work as a team and have so much passion for this industry. Here I am able to advance in my career by attending classes such as product knowledge, advanced color and business. These classes also help me to provide the best service and experience to each of my guests. At Mod I am able to express my creativity as a colorist and am certified in Easihair Pro tape in extensions. My ability to change someone’s look with hair color or just a few extensions is why I love this industry. Creating elegant wedding & prom styles is another love of mine. Finishing that look with a great makeup session is my favorite part of making someone’s day extra special!

Looking back to the days when I would dress my little brother up like a princess, polish his nails and finish his look with hot pink lipstick that was when I truly knew this is what I was meant to do. I love working at Mod Hair Color Salon & Beauty Store because the salon allows me to express my creativity. Specializing in advanced color techniques, such as balayage and hair painting, allows me to give my guest something new and fresh. I love how I can give someone a whole new look in just a couple of hours. Wedding hair and makeup is second nature to me, making a brides day picture perfect is a great feeling. A beautiful style and amazing make up application will make you feel like the most beautiful bride and enhance your special day in just the right way. This industry is forever changing and evolving, attending continuing education classes and trend shows allows me to keep up with new things to come. My favorite part of what I do is educating my guests. I want you to be able to recreate your style and flawless make up application at home and I try my best to set you up for success.

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” – Pablo Picasso
This is SO TRUE! I’ve always believed in sharing your talents with the world. I don’t know what more I could do in life that would be more giving than doing hair. I can help someone who really needs a pick-me-up and change how they feel about themselves completely. My favorite part is seeing new people every day. Everyone has a different story, different life-style, and wants a different look. I like to give each person a unique, personalized hair style that reflects the meticulous technique I put into their hair with a fresh, playful flair! I believe I excel in bombshell balayage color and short sexy women’s cuts. I also love the transformations I can give with Easihair Pro extensions, whether it’s drastic or adding volume. Certification and education are key so the service can be given at its full potential. Hair is my gift. I love what I do!

Hair Colorist/Certified Extension Specialist
Growing up, I was surrounded by the beauty industry as my mother ran her own salon in our hometown. So it is no surprise I followed in her footsteps. Although I have to admit, I did not think this was the path I was going to pursue. I first went to The Salon Professional Academy for esthetics, but after a short time working as a licensed esthetician I knew something was missing. Yep, your right, my cosmetology license! I then went back to school to become a cosmetologist so I could better serve my guests and enhance their salon experience. While at Capri College I began to mentor under Heather at Mod Hair Color Salon & Beauty Store. Within the first week of mentoring I knew I was meant to be at Mod and in this industry. I have since found myself as a professional, a stylist and as a woman. I am certified in Perfectress extensions and Easihair Pro extensions. I specialize in foiling and balayage color. I love doing drastic changes with my guests because I love seeing them become more confident in themselves when they step out of my chair.

Hair Colorist/Certified Extension Specialist
The hair industry has always been a part of my life. I grew up watching my dad cut hair, my sister style hair, and I was always asked by my friends and family to do their hair. I graduated from La’ James International College in 2005. While attending, I took advantage of the opportunities they offered to further my knowledge of the hair industry. I was able to study abroad in Paris and London, and attended classes in Chicago. Continuing education is very important to me because the industry is forever evolving in styles and techniques. I want to be able to provide my clients with the most up to date knowledge and fashion forward styles for their hair. I am certified in Easihair Pro tape in extensions, which we offer at Mod Hair Color Salon & Beauty Store. I specialize in hair color and have attended many classes on different color techniques such as balayage, ombre, and fun vivid colors. Completing the look with a precision haircut, texturizing, and finishing work can bring so much life to your color and is one thing I enjoy most. Every day is new and different. It makes working at Mod not feel like “work” but a place I get to enjoy my craft and be with fun and exciting women.

Hair Colorist/Certified Extension Specialist
My passion for the beauty industry started around the age of 10. I was constantly braiding and styling hair. By the age of 14 I was foiling my mom’s hair. I am very passionate about helping people look their very best. I love solving the problems each individual person has with their hair by educating them on solutions they can do in the salon and at home. Healthy hair is gorgeous hair so education and at home care is key! I have attended several continuing education classes such as product knowledge, color application, and a 3 day business class called Champ Camp in San Diego. I specialize in hair coloring (specifically blondes), formal styling, waxing, make up and am certified in Easihair Pro tape in extensions. Working at Mod has taught me what being a part of a team really looks like. My team encourages me to push myself to exceed my full potential. I love what I do and am very excited to see what the future holds for me!

Hair Colorist/Certified Extension Specialist
All throughout high school, I was THE friend people came to to get their hair done. After going through nursing school, I found myself not fully satisfied, so I changed career paths and decided to do what I love. I am so passionate about this industry and enjoy using my talent to help rebuild confidence in people that have seem to have lost it. Since graduating from cosmetology school, I have furthered my education through Inspiring Champions and became certified in Easihair Pro tape in extensions. My skills and passion as an artist keep growing every day. I have the drive to never stop learning and the will to become the best of the best! Creating customized colors using hand painting techniques like ombre and balayage are my favorite. I specialize in the perfect seamless color blend that adds dimension and livens up your look.

Front Desk Professional/Wedding Coordinator
I was raised in the small town of Gilbertville, Iowa. Shortly after graduating high school I married and started a family. My wonderful husband took over the family drywall construction company, while I raised our two sons. I later became the office manager of our company for 17 years. I jumped at the opportunity to work at Mod Hair Color Salon & Beauty Store. It gives me the chance to interact with more people. I love socializing with all of our guests here and enjoy working with the professional team at Mod.
