We Knew We Wanted to See a Change within our Beauty Industry & We’re Creating and Living It Everyday for All of Us! We’re Proudly Team-Based, Non-Tipping, Safe, & Sustainable!

What is team-based?

We make decisions as a team for our company. Team based means we work together each day toward one common goal; to create a one-of-a-kind guest experience focused on you and your needs. It isn’t “my chair/room, my client.” At Enlightened Beauty, it’s “our guild, our gang, our guests.” The beauty industry has been run in a commission focused system, with income being dependent on tips. We want to be collaborative, have stability for our company and guests, and in turn, create a healthy work environment for ourselves. We work 4 days per week, receive reliable hourly wages, have PTO and medical insurance, and have our daily break from 1:00pm - 2:30pm.

What does that mean for you?

We get to focus on what’s most important; you and your experience. You have more opportunities for appointments because we share schedules and are all trained on the Enlightened Beauty’s Standards. Our pricing is exactly as described on our app, on this website, and when you call or text us on our salon cell phone.

What is a non-tipping policy?

We know that your experience with us will make you want to tip everyone at Enlightened Beauty, but a non-tipping policy means we don’t accept them. Our pricing is all inclusive. We believe it's our responsibility to provide each of our guests with the best experience possible, every single time, and you never have to worry or think about what to tip at the end of your visit with us.

If you want to continue to support us beyond just being one of our amazing guests, you can send a friend, write a review, or splurge with more home care and visits. That's the best tip we can ever receive!

We welcome all LGBTQIA+ and are inclusive to all human beings. You are safe here.

We're here for you

Our team does our part to keep everyone safe, healthy, and having fun in our space. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible when coming in for your visit. Please don’t hesitate to ask for accommodations like silent appointments, masks, or adjustments to your visit to make you feel at home with us.

Our Team

Our team is excited about making your experience the best it can be for you! Each of us has been trained in the Enlightened Beauty Standards, which means no matter who you see, you'll have the same great experience every time you visit.

    Jac

    Spa Manager, Esthetician

    Hey! My name is Jacqui, but everyone calls me Jac.

    I am a professional multi-media makeup artist, master aesthetician, energy worker, and the spa manager at Enlightened Beauty- Fargo. I specialize in facials, brows, and tarot, but absolutely love everything that I do.

    I stepped foot into the beauty industry as a way to chase my love of art, and subsequently fell in love with skincare. I’ve been helping humans find their own sense of confidence through looking and feeling their best, as well as gaining a deeper understanding of themselves & their lives through tarot, for nearly 8 years. 

    I graduated from the Salon Professional Academy & Faces Etc. of MN in early 2017. My makeup artistry represented the Faces academy for 5 years and was featured in a short film directed by Jonny Stuckmayer. I was also voted one of the Top 10 Best Facials in North Dakota in 2023. 

    In my personal life, I live in Moorhead, MN with my 5 pets: two dogs, two cats, and a tarantula. I have two sisters that are my best friends, one of whom owns Enlightened Beauty. My other best friend, Austin, doubles as my life partner. When I’m not at work or with my besties, you can find me snuggled up on the couch with a documentary or diamond painting with a podcast! I look forward to spending some time with you in the ZenDen!

    Emmy

    Cosmetologist

    Heyo! My name is Emily, but you can call me Emmy for short. 

    I’m a Master Cosmetologist and Apprentice at Enlightened Beauty - Fargo. I specialize in All-Inclusive Haircutting, all Color Services, Manicuring and Pedicuring, and no, I can’t choose a favorite.

    I joined the beauty industry 2 years ago after finding that the regular college setting wasn’t for me. I started taking classes at The Salon Professional Academy in February of 2021 and graduated in August of 2022. My love of the fun colors and alternative hair made me realize that this was the career for me.

    If I’m not crocheting or knitting, I’m hanging out with my cat named Venus (or Beanie Baby), spending time with my partner, Austin, or watching some sort of TV Show/Documentary that peaks my interest! 

    I can’t wait to make some magic behind the chair with you! 

    Kayla

    Founder, Cosmetologist

    Hi! I’m Kayla. I got into the beauty industry because I love making people feel good and confident in themselves. When I get the opportunity to serve our guests and team members, and help to make their lives better, I am a happy Kayla. :) 

    Over the years in the beauty industry, I have worked in different salon and spa structures, been an instructor at a local cosmetology school, and evolved my company into the one we are today.

    The beauty industry needs a serious makeover...pun intended. In my opinion, the traditional way salons and spas run is not working. It creates unhealthy competition, unstable pay structures, and a "me against the world" mindset. That's why I created Enlightened Beauty; to be a safe space to learn and grow. My plan is to franchise Enlightened Beauty so more salon owners and their teams can enjoy their careers to their fullest, while creating a healthy and supportive atmosphere for guests to visit. I also plan to open a micro beauty school where I can teach these radical changes and healthy lifestyles for a better future for our beauty industry. 

    When I’m not doing all things beauty, you can find me at home with my fur children and my Sam. I have the very best friends and team, and their support means the world to me. It’s tough work, being an entrepreneur, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
