Owner/Master Colorist
Welcome to Gloss Hair Parlor! After 10 years in the industry, I decided it was time to create a new type of salon space. One that focuses on not only the success and education of the stylists, but also their health! You’ll find a selection of non-toxic styling products for every hair type and texture at our boutique salon.
After graduating from an apprenticeship program in 2010 I have worked behind the chair as a color specialist. I began my focus with color corrections, then moved to creative color and I am currently working with blonding and grey-blending clients. I have always viewed hair color as both an art form and a science! It’s amazing to watch the color wheel at work.
I’m passionate about salon education. Whether it is a scheduled class or a quick chat at the color bar, there is value in all of it!
I invite you to continue reading and learn all about the amazing stylists on my team.
All my love,
Kat
Senior Balayage Specialist & Stylist
Born & raised in Massachusetts, I started developing my craft in 2012. I am a balayage specialist who is inspired by creating natural lived in color. I’m trained and certified in multiple color systems, including Original & Mineral here at Gloss. I enjoy using my expertise to craft personalized looks that my guests are envisioning when they sit down in my chair. My foundation as an artist is integrity and authenticity.
When I’m not in the salon you can find me hiking a mountain with my husband and huskies or catching a yoga class. I look forward to creating magic with you.

Education Director & Cutting Specialist
With a background in fine arts, I bring a creative and imaginative eye to my craft of hairdressing. Visually inspired by edgy short do's from the 60's, the heavy iconic fringe from the 70's, and the dramatically teased tresses from the 80's.
Experienced in both razor and scissor cutting, I have gained both inspiration and education from some major influencers in the hair industry such as Bumble and Bumble, Living Proof, and R and Co. I specialize in shorter textured styles. Creating shapes that are effortless, natural and tailored to each client's needs. Besides cutting I enjoy doing updos and makeup for weddings and special events.
You can find some of my creations and inspirations on my Instagram page @alicja_the_stylist
Colorist/Stylist
Originally from Buxton, Maine, I have been in the industry of hair for 5 years. After graduating from Spa Tech in 2015, I have worked on honing my skills of coloring and cutting and have experience with matrix, joico and original & mineral products. I specialize in helping guests achieve their desired blonde, whether it be an icy, cool blonde or a warmer honey blonde. If you are looking for vivid fantasy colors, I’m your girl! I enjoy combining my knowledge and skill with your vision to create a unique look that makes you feel your best.
On my off time, you can find me reading, writing or enjoying my favorite music. I love to spend time in nature-- it grounds me and brings me joy! You can also catch me enjoying a good cup of coffee from a small-town local coffee shop like Biddeford’s very own Elements. I look forward to working with you!
Parlor Manager & Front Desk Magician
I am a spunky, former teacher, originally from Fairfield, Maine. On my off time, you can find me creating poorly made tiktoks, telling jokes to anyone that will listen, or romping around in fields photographing the beautiful faces of Maine!
As a curly girl myself, I have been following the curly girl method for 3 years now and have a passion for helping people learn to love their curls. I have experience with almost our entire Innersense line! With the help of your stylist, I can offer you some styling and washing techniques to make your curls pop. I look forward to meeting you and hyping you up!
Apprentice
I was born and raised here in Maine, thereafter I began working in the fashion & beauty industry in both Boston and New York City.
My experience working in luxury salons has brought me to Gloss to continue my education and be a part of an incredible holistic team. I have been trained in multiple color and products lines. My primary focus is color/blonding and preserving hair integrity.
When I'm not working, I'm home with my mini dachshund named Carlyle, who is the light of my life, or in Portland eating around the city.
Apprentice
As an eternally creative spirit, hair is just another form of expression that I am delighted to share with the world. Getting to know you and creating a style that helps you feel even more like yourself and at home in your body is what I strive for. I’m honored to be empowered by a strong team of leaders and educators at Gloss. You really couldn’t be surrounded by better people!
Outside of hair, I’m a musician at heart. A majority of my free time is spent working with and composing music for my band.
Aside from that, you can find me either playing with watercolors and inks, or gaming with my friends. Unless it’s summer of course...in that case I’ll be at the beach.
Front Desk
Hello, friend!
My name is Angie, and I'm an eternal optimist. There's always a bright side, and I aim to find it. I'm a full time professional organizer, a musician, as well as a holistic living enthusiast. Life keeps me busy, but I always make time to write music with my talented husband, do something crafty, or read up on herbalism/gardening. I love to talk about my passions, and hear about yours. (Also, if you ask if I have kids or pets, I WILL show you pictures and videos of my adorable guinea pigs, who make me so happy. heh)
Like most ladies, I love clothing, and hairstyling. While I have no experience with "haircraft", I love how it, as well as clothing, are tools for expression. I am always up for giving honest feedback and recommendations on both clothing and hair products/styles.
I'm so happy to be a part of this growing family at Gloss, and I can't wait to tell you how cute you look!
After my first wedding season as a makeup artist nearly a decade ago, I knew I was meant for the beauty industry. Enrolling in cosmetology school “kicking and screaming” shortly thereafter, I fell in love with hair along the way. Since then, I’ve taken classes in New York City, Chicago, and Las Vegas to learn more about the hair and wedding world.
Behind the chair, I’ve married my passion for art and being around people, to perfect the craft of really listening to my clients and forming bonds over stories and laughs. Specializing in fine hair solutions, textured short styles, and dimensional grey coverage, I take a lot of pride in making clients feel like the most beautiful versions of themselves. I’m always up for new color projects, especially reds! (I promise you, your perfect shade exists!)
Shamelessly extroverted, you can find me outside of work eating, drinking, and being merry. On the off chance I’m home, I will be cooking extravagant meals and watching standup comedy. Otherwise, I’m out there living in the moment and making #hairgoals.

I pride myself on sourcing fashionable clothing to fit a variety of sizes. I am honored to now serve the Biddeford community at Gloss Hair Parlor.
