What You’re Actually Signing Up For
Regardless of whose chair your booty lands in, you can expect:
* A whistle that’s always wet
* At least one of us yelling “OH SHE LOOKS GOOD!” from across the room
* The general vibe of a group chat that should probably be monitored
Choosing just one stylist?
Bless. Your. Heart.
We’re a team salon, sugar — a group-effort, a tag-you’re-it situation. You’ll probably have two to three of us in your hair before you make it to checkout and you wont mind one bit. You’re welcome.
So welcome to Bespoke Hair Company — where the tea is fresh, the laughter is loud, and your hair gets more attention than a new baby at church.
Come on in — the plants are thriving, the music’s on, and we’re gonna greet ya like we’ve known you since Vacation Bible School. Around here, we’re not “just a salon” we’re a full-blown village, a slightly feral friend group, and the ONLY place in town that executes as a genuine team…
which is Bespoke for: everyone here is all up in your business!
About These “Levels”…
You’ll see a Level next to each gorgeous face below — tracking growth, promotions, and general skill-level shenanigans including surviving another day of us all talking at once.
Some of us are booked out months, some of us work like caffeinated wizards, but here’s the deal: Levels change the PRICE and the AVAILABILITY but never the quality, sugar. Never the quality.
bless your heart, welcome to Bespoke.
Kelsi is the proud mastermind and mama bear behind Bespoke Hair Company — the woman who took a vision, some grit, a Sam Brown Institute diploma (2011, thank you kindly), and built a full-blown beauty village right in the heart of Columbia, MO.
For over a decade, she’s cultivated a fiercely loyal community who swear she reads hair like scripture. She’s trained and certified in more things than she’ll actually brag about, including microblading — which she mastered, loved, and then passed the torch to Haley, her brow protégée who now runs the show inside Bespoke.
But behind the chair?
Kelsi is pure quick wit, and a loving “sit your tail down and tell me what’s really going on.” You’ll leave her chair with better hair, lighter worries, and a confidence boost that may or may not lead to questionable decisions. Outside the salon, she’s riding motorcycles, chasing sunsets on horseback, listening to live music, thrifting old quilts and copper treasures, and wrangling four kids like the absolute champ she is.

Owner, Visionary, Professional Chaos Coordinator
If something fabulous — or chaotic — happened at Bespoke, go ahead and assume Nicole did it. She’s an original, a ride-or-die, the very first Associate Kelsi ever took under her wing. Trained at the Paul Mitchell Institute in Springfield, Nicole came in hot and has been leveling up the place ever since.
Nicole brings her own brand of flair everywhere she goes. She’s passionate, creative, and dangerously good at turning hair goals into hair realities with bold color, dreamy blends, and a “trust me, babe” confidence that her guests fully live for.
Off the clock, she’s a crocheting queen, a wife who in-between foiling pickleballs like a pro, and the world’s most obsessed aunt to her two nieces. If she’s not crafting, she’s probably plotting — lovingly.
Nicole’s the one you call when you want great hair, good vibes, and a stylist who will hype you harder than your own mama.

Haley is our Lash and Brow Professional not to mention our Guest Specialist. She is almost always the first face you’ll see and speak to when you enter our home. She’s a little ray of light and our artists right hand when it comes to helping out around the salon. A firm believer that people should notice the woman and not the makeup, she boasts an unparalleled talent for enhancing her clients’ natural beauty with precisely the right color palette.
She completed her apprenticeship under the proprietor, Kelsi Little, and easily developed a refined eye for detail very early on in her career. Specializing in Microblading and shading, as well as lash lifts/tints, brow henna and brow lamination. Still, it’s her unique sense of creativity and style—much of which is inspired by the simple beauty in everyday life—that truly sets her apart from her peers, giving her the ability to create the perfect set of brows or lashes for each guest she works with.

Ashlee is another one of our Columbia natives! Having known team leader Kelsi … She has a love for blonding services, but recently brondes and brunettes have stollen her heart. She found her love for styling early in life and completed her hours of Cosmetology post highschool at a private institute formally known as Sam Brown’s Institute. She holds a very special place in the Bespoke family and has diligently taken the time to learn and extend her training under the guidance of her sisters at Bespoke.

Ella is one of those quiet forces you don’t see coming — until your hair looks that good. Thoughtful, intentional, and wildly talented, she brings a calm, grounding energy to Bespoke while delivering hair that speaks for itself.
She’s detail-driven, a great listener, and the kind of stylist who makes you feel instantly comfortable — like sitting on the porch with someone who actually hears you. Don’t let the soft-spoken vibe fool you though… she’s got skills, taste, and a steady hand that turns visions into reality.
Ella’s chair is for the guest who wants great hair, good conversation (or peaceful silence), and to leave feeling polished, lighter, and quietly confident.

Not your average drooling slob of a junkyard dog named Hooch. But definitely “Bespoke’s” best friend - and soon to be yours! It isn’t a home without a heartbeat at your feet.
