Marissa’s love of hair began at the early age of 6.  During time spent with family and friends, she would play with anyone’s hair she could get her hands on, envisioning herself as one day becoming a professional hairstylist.  In 2021 Marissa took those dreams and turned them into a reality.  She graduated as a licensed cosmetologist from Questar and continued her education as an assistant stylist to a Goldwell Educator and extension specialist at one of the area’s elite salons.  

After a year of training, Marissa decided to change up the scenery and landed the position as a full time Associate Designer at One OAK.  She dedicated another 6 months to sharpening her skills and continued to advance her skillset at classes, hair shows, and online certifications.  Marissa is hard working, fun loving, and pays specific attention to detail, whether it is perfecting a money piece or organizing everyone’s stations to her liking.  Her honesty and sense of humor keeps everyone on their toes, and she thrives on making her guests look and feel their best throughout every service.  

Marissa has found her niche in any and all blonding services, and her meticulous ways have led her to become one of One OAK’s top styling specialists, with a specific passion for weddings, proms, and formal styling.  Outside of the salon, Marissa loves hiking, taking road trips (especially to the beach), and exploring beautiful new places.
