Merissa Luetjen

Hair Stylist and Small Business Owner in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Hi, my name is Merissa Luetjen, and I am so happy I am able to come to a job that I truly love! I have had the love and motivation for doing hair since I was four years old. It has always been my dream to own my own hair salon.

It all started when my father had long hair, all I wanted to do every night is try new, creative styles on him, and do the best I could! I have come a long ways since! I have graduated cosmetology and esthetics school from Stewart School in 2012 here in Sioux Falls, SD. While attending, I received the Business Student of the Year award. I am dedicated to making your hair look and feel beautiful!

I also have a passion for health and fitness, therefore I choose to use the most Natural, Organic, and Allergen-free hair color and products I can get my hands on. I definitely prefer to use better, high quality products. I use the amazing brand, Original Mineral aka O&M, for my hair products and color line. The O&M Color Line is mostly Organic, Vegan, Free of: Ammonia, Gluten (wheat), PPD, Resorcinol, and many other harsh chemicals. The O&M Hair Products use Sustainable Harvested Natural Ingredients, Certified Organic Botanicals, Vegan, Free of: DEA/TEA, Gluten, Mineral Oil, MIT, Paraben, Phthalate, Propylene Glycol, PVP/VA, Sodium Chloride, Sulfate, and Triclosan. The products are packaged in a way to benefit your health and respect the earth as it is free harsh chemicals and use recycled materials. Also, my products come from companies that do not test on animals.

I used to work for an Aveda salon and spa, Belle Touche, which I still love and respect. While I worked there I attained a lot of education frequently and have attended a class taught by the famous, John Raymond. I have taken additional classes to build skills to make me a better, more unique and talented stylist!

My belief is that my clients deserve both the healthiest and highest-quality products. I want you to have not just healthy hair, but a healthy lifestyle with my worry-free products.

Your beauty should reflect your best self!
