The RJ Miller Salon & Spa staff is a team of highly skilled stylists-colorists, nail technicians, estheticians, and massage therapists who are professionally trained and experienced. As the needs of our clients evolve, our staff continues to seek out the newest techniques and products to fulfill these needs.
I have owned the salon since May 2003. During that time, I have come to appreciate that the combination of talent and skills of our staff and the dedication of our management team really drive the experience that our customers have when they visit RJ Miller. We are so fortunate that our professionals are highly trained and focused on keeping up to date on their skills and fresh ways to improve the quality of our business services.
We are also blessed to have Lindsay Walsh heading up the management of the salon. Her attention to detail, innate management skills and focus on customer service are all additions to her incredibly accomplished stylist skills. It’s great to have a stylist running the business as she can relate so well to the staff and to the customers at a level that helps drive excellence.
