Cori Mast

Owner / Masterstylist / Redken Educator

Welcome to Nirvana! I’m Cori and I’m so happy to be here! I began my career in the beauty industry at just 17 years old, becoming a licensed cosmetologist before graduating high school through a career center program. I started at Personal Images as the salon owner’s assistant, where I quickly fell in love not only with the craft, but with the culture, and connection that this industry offers.

I quickly immersed myself in Redken education—earning certifications, continuing advanced training, and eventually auditioning to become a Redken Artist and Educator. After being accepted, I had the incredible opportunity to travel across the country teaching, learning, and refining my artistry alongside some of the industry’s best.

As life evolved and I began raising my family here in Jackson, my focus shifted closer to home. I poured my energy into my salon family being ann associate trainer, teaching in my own salon every day! Then, alongside my two partners, proudly stepped into salon ownership—continuing the legacy of Personal Images while creating space for growth, wellness, and authenticity.

At the heart of everything I do is a deep love for art, creativity, and genuine relationships. If you’ve ever sat in my chair, I hope you felt truly seen, connected, and cared for. My life’s work has been rooted in helping people feel most like their authentic selves—through beauty, and personalized wellness routines that support confidence from the inside out.

Tracy Fogg

Masterstylist

Tracy here! I have been in the industry since 1998. Being a stylist was the perfect choice for me because I love doing hair and it allowed me to be with my kids. Throughout my career I have gained advanced Redken and Pureology knowledge and have since become a Certified Cutting Specialist. I have also taken advanced classes with Tammy Taylor and advanced curly hair classes. My specialties include curly hair, short hair, men’s hair, and color. I love growing with my clients and making their wishes come true.

I’m a licensed hairstylist who started my journey in 2023 at Hillsdale Beauty College. In July 2024, I became an associate at Personal Images Salon and Day Spa. I enjoy all things hair – especially color, cuts, and perms – I enjoy helping clients find styles that fit who they are. I’m passionate about learning and growing in the industry, with future goals of becoming a stage artist and teaching and supporting new associates as they enter the salon world.

Liberty Liemenstoll

Hey I’m Liberty! I started my career in the industry in 2021! I quickly specialized in luxury blonding, rich dimensional color, and precision men’s cutting. I’ve completed advanced education in modern color techniques and men’s grooming through American Crew in Chicago. I’m always refining my craft and continuing education to deliver detailed, customized results for every guest who sits in my chair.

This industry has always been more than just “doing hair” to me. It’s about connection, trust, and helping people feel like the best version of themselves. I truly cherish the relationships built during appointments, and many of my clients have become lifelong guests who hold a special place in my heart. My chair is a safe space where you can relax, feel heard, and leave feeling genuinely confident. Known for my bubbly personality we can talk the entire appointment, or if you’re a busy person who just wants to unwind, let me know and I’ll keep the talking to a minimum. I pair warm, welcoming energy with a strong eye for detail and precision. Whether you’re a blonde wanting bright, seamless dimension, a brunette craving richness and shine, or a gentleman looking for a clean, polished cut, I approach every service with intention and care.

I am currently welcoming new guests while continuing to serve my valued returning clients, and I would love to meet YOU.

Hey there! So my story goes…I started doing hair when I was 19 in 1991. I got licensed in high school in Texas. I’ve done hair in 4 states, the longest being in Portland, Oregon.

I moved back to Michigan in 2020 which is where I’m originally from. I have lots of education with special trading at Toni & Guy. I worked with them for 11 years. I love hair cutting ,especially short hair but I also love me some curls, long or short. I do perms and dabble in color.

Hi, I am Jordyn! I joined the industry in spring of 2020 at Douglas J Aveda Institute in Ann Arbor. I love creating art and making others happy, and this industry has allowed me to do just that. I am currently continuing my education by working as an associate under Cori. Working as an associate is allowing me to learn different advanced skills to ensure I provide the best experience possible for my guests. I look forward to continuing my education in hair color and blonding, hair extensions, and nails. I am so glad to be a part of the Personal Images family. I truly feel like I found my home away from home, and my goal is that each of my guests will be able to feel that same comfort as well!

kallie valdez

Kallie Valdez

Hey, I’m Kallie. I’m a fully licensed esthetician here at Nirvana and I’m genuinely obsessed with what I do. I’m totally one of those pimple popping loving people who lives for a good extraction (properly of course!) almost as much as I live for feeling my client’s faces melt away into complete relaxation during my massage. Knowing what products to use, when to use them, why you’re using them and how to use them in your routine can all be so overwhelming. It’s my goal to assist those who want to understand and enjoy their skin/skincare routines in the most authentic and relatable ways possible.

My favorite days are the kind where I have a full schedule mix of all my services including facials, full body waxing, brows, lash lifts and body treatments as well as makeup. I have some of the best educators/education behind my back and I’m just dying to share all of my knowledge. I’m all about good vibes, better brows and loving your mind, body ,soul and skin always.

Salida San Miguel

Owner

Hiii! My name is Salida and if I look familiar, I am probably one of the smiling faces that has greeted you into our salon. I started in 2020 as a part time receptionist and quickly fell in love with the salons culture, its welcoming team members, and amazing clients. I knew this was where I wanted to be for good. I worked my way from front desk coordinator, to front desk manager, eventually adding in inventory management. Now with my two partners, I proudly get to add Owner to that list. I love the mix I get to do of interacting with our guests at the desk while also working behind the scenes on the nerdy numbers of analyzing reports and bookkeeping. I feel so so so incredibly lucky to be able to continue the legacy of our predecessor Personal Images Salon. And now we are so excited to welcome you to your new NIrvana!
