BREE MCLAIN
STYLIST

Location - Stoughton & Sun Prairie I have over 26 years of experience with 6 of those years spent specializing in hair color. With hair color being my mastered skill and my passion in creating short women's cuts. I believe every women can look beautiful and sexy in short hair. I design my cuts and colors to accentuate your best features and address your specific needs. I believe if you give me the freedom, I can give you the look that brings out your best. I also LOVE cutting natural curly hair. I believe that every curl has it's own personality, therefore each needs to be treated differently. Curly hair never lays straight and even, so why do so many cut it that way by wetting it down and combing it. I feel natural curl should be cut in it's natural state. I give a free hand dry cut on all curly clients which allows me to carve out the best shape in each of your curls. Strengths - Short women's cuts, color, and natural curl.

Devan Luebke
STYLIST

Hi, I am Devan. I have been working at Lotus since 2017, I started here as a receptionist in High School and discovered that Cosmetology was my passion. Shortly after leaving for college, I knew I had to get back into the salon, Madison College Cosmetology program was calling my name! One of my favorite things about this industry is that there is always something new. A new Challange or color technique really drives my creative side and allows me to learn more about my growing passion. All things color is my driving force, I love maintaining color, new color, foils, dimensional color and fashion colors! Finding the uniqueness of color and how it fits every person individually is always such an amazing experience. Learning about those who sit in my chair and creating the perfect color and cut for them and their lifestyle is what I live for everyday!

KAYLEE BILLIOT
STYLIST

Location - Stoughton Hi, I am Kaylee! I have been with Lotus since December of 2023. Hair isn’t just my passion but also my joy! Learning to love yourself is a very challenging thing, being a part of the process that can change that for people is the greatest part of my day. It is often said “we just do hair” but to me watching your confidence grow after that fresh cut or color and getting to see that look in your eye after you fall back in love with yourself is what brings me to work every day. My favorite services at the salon are all things color, but I really enjoy cutting also, especially Men’s cuts, and Kids too! When I am not at the salon, I am often enjoying the beauty of the world through nature or snuggled up watching a movie. The world is beautiful, but the best part is that it can always have more. I can’t wait to see you in my chair and bring your hair dreams to life! Favorite movie: Stand by Me Favorite song: dirt cheap by Cody Johnson Hours: M, W, Th 1pm-9pm, F 8am-5pm, S 8am-2pm
