Lea Schmidt
Stylist / Manager at Periwinkles
“Hi, I’m Lea! I’ve been in the beauty industry since August of 2014. I grew up right here in Greenville, and graduated from Hortonville High School. My husband and I met in high school, got married in 2019, and have 2 kids; a boy & a girl. For me, doing hair is not only a job but also a hobby. I enjoy getting creative with colors and cuts. I’m always up for a challenge with a color correction, and I love creating the perfect blondes. I look forward to meeting you in my chair :)”
Praise for Lea: 5 stars from loyal client, Tanya – “Lea is great! She is professional, caring and great at what she does. Most of all, she listens to your needs and delivers every time. She has mastered blonde, which I am picky so that says a lot. I would recommend her to anyone. The change of salon and hair dresser was just what I needed. Thank you Lea!”
Claire Gloudamanns
Stylist / Aveda Ambassador at Periwinkles
Praise for Claire: 5 stars from loyal client, Leeann – “Tonight was my first experience at Periwinkles and Claire will forever have my business as long as she’s in the industry. First of all, this salon has the perfect atmosphere. You get a very warm feel which is accompanied by a friendly greeting. Second, their service is top of the line. Claire was able to hold conversation, offered me a beverage while waiting on color and the outcome… my hair was 10/10 from color to cut. The price is standard being Aveda but worth every penny. I highly recommend this salon to those searching for the best quality.”
