Meet the Team
Sara
Owner/Master Stylist
Sara is the owner and visionary behind the Lounge. Having success owning Snips and Giggles for the past 16 years and building the clientele of the Lounge within the current Snips and Giggles, Sara felt the call to take on an educating role. While focusing on creating an environment for new salon professionals to learn their trade and grow their professionalism and clientele the idea of The Lounge was born. . The Lounge by Snips moved into its own space in downtown Oconomowoc, where Sara hired and continues to mentor her team of young stylists and an esthetician.
Sara has over 20 years experience in styling hair. She enjoys helping the busy mom simplify her day and relax in the chair. She has grown her businesses in the Oconomowoc community, while being a devoted wife and mother to three. Next time you're in, ask Sara what's she been cooking up in her kitchen, as she loves to cook and entertain for her family and friends.
