Stylist, Noella Evans

My name is Noella Evans; I am a twenty-three year old hairstylist from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I grew up with two older brothers. Instead of doing ballet, playing dress up and loving the color pink like most little girls… I was playing basketball, wearing my brother’s clothes and getting as dirty as possible while playing outdoors. So it came as a shock to my family and friends that I wanted to become a hairstylist. Every year that passes I get a little more on the girlie side but don’t get me wrong playing basketball and wearing sweats are still two of my favorite things to do. Little did I know my career would bring me to the beautiful town of Warrenton, Virginia.

Noella and Mark

 About a year ago I met the love of my life, Mark, an attorney for the United States Marine Corps, in Michigan. Come to find out he was only visiting his family and soon would be returning to South Carolina where he was stationed at Parris Island. Long distance relationships are not the easiest so when we found out he would be stationed at the Marine Corps base, Quantico, in Virginia I was ready for a new adventure in my life. I came here without a job and no place to live. Fortunately, I have an Aunt and Uncle that live in Culpeper, Virginia and they were kind enough to let me stay with them until I got on my feet. I then was lucky to get in contact with Melanee at Salon Emage Day Spa, who gave me a job. Although my Michigan hair just wasn’t cutting it, they hooked me up with a stylish new cut and color.

 I’m becoming more of a southern bell everyday, so I am told. The people in this salon are some of the most amazing people I have met. They took this Yankee in with open arms, they inspire me more and more each day and I know each one of them will be life time friends. Each person is so different, we are a family and that is what makes this salon so great. Although I still can not understand everyone’s Virginia accent and I refuse to say ya’ll, I know I will fit in here just fine.
