| "Hello, my name is Chaska
Wroth, and I love to do hair! Born and raised in Sonoma County,
there’s
nowhere else I’d rather live. I grew up in the small town of
Forestville and currently reside in Santa Rosa. I’ve been a
cosmetologist for 4 years. Doing hair is not just a job for me,
it’s
what I live for. I specialize in highlights, color and hair cutting.
Nothing gives me more pleasure than creating new looks and styles for
my clients. In my free time, I enjoy walking my dogs, hot yoga and
socializing with friends."

I have attended several cut/color classes in my two years of experience and continue to strive to learn more and deliver the best! |

| I love everything about working as a stylist, but I would have to say my favorite part is making a personal connection with my clients and making them look and feel amazing. Aside from doing hair, my passion also lies in healthy living and fitness. I train for and compete in all natural body building. For me, beauty is about balance inside and out!" ~Cari Crachiola |

I have been married for
24 years to the
same wonderful man and we have
two beautiful children that are the apple of my eye! I love to
scrapbook, pets and bike riding with my kids!!
I am currently in Beauty
School. I filled
in as the front desk person as a favor to Pam & Dodie. I loved
it
so much that I decided to enter Beauty School and start my career at
The Lions Mane Salon. I had so much fun doing Bare Escentual make overs
on clients and helping out in general that I decided to retrain in the
cosmetology industry. I will be there on Mondays helping out and
training. The Lions Mane Salon is where I have always gone to get my
hair done, and now I get to be a part of their team. I am so excited!"
