My name is Theresa McNew. Both my husband and I have lived in the Mahomet area our whole lives. I have 4 children and 4 amazing grandchildren. I’ve been a stylist for over 38 years and I still absolutely adore what I do. Variety is what keeps my job interesting, and I enjoy everything from kids to seniors, from cuts to perms to color and everything in between. I love it all.

Hey all! My name is Kristina, I was born and raised here in Illinois. I have 3 kiddos so life is always busy! I have been doing hair since 2007. I love doing all cut and colors, but I specialize in vivid colors! When I'm not in the salon, I am spending time with family and friends.

Welcome! I’m Haley, a Nashville-trained stylist who graduated from The Salon Professional Academy in 2014. I’m passionate about being behind the chair, where artistry meets connection. I love dimensional color and effortlessly lived-in looks. I focus on creating hair that feels modern, personalized, and beautiful long after you leave the salon. I can’t wait to connect with you in my chair!

Hi, Kelsey K here! I have been in the industry since 2012, started in a small town salon and have worked my way through other salons and found my salon home in 105 in 2021! Since joining this team, I have had 2 wonderful children, Anniston & Crew, with my pretty awesome husband Michael! To round out our family we have 2 small dogs, Bowen and Penelope! Coloring is my jam, I like all kinds of haircuts, but I do enjoy a good short haircut because of my own history of having short hair. I have learned over the years that hair chemistry as far as relationships with my clients are special and important, & I hope to make everyone feel heard, and together build a style that’s specifically suited for you.

My name is Bukurije which translates to “you are beautiful” in Albanian, but you can call me Buki :) I graduated with my associates degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. Soon after I decided to follow my heart, leading me to Paul Mitchell The School in Normal, IL. I’m passionate about nearly everything in the beauty industry and I’m so happy I decided to pursue my dreams. I am first generation born in Joliet, IL and currently reside in Mahomet, IL. I love cooking and cleaning in my spare time along with rollerblading, biking, and doing yoga. Now that you know a little bit about me, I can’t wait to meet you!

Hi! I’m Ashley. My husband and I live here in Mahomet with our 4 kids and I like to think I’m an expert in chaos management. I have been a stylist since 2004 and I’m trying really hard to come to terms with being the “senior” in the industry now. I appreciate the fact that, with this time, I have been allowed to grow and evolve with the beauty industry in such amazing ways. I specialize in blondes and in 2018 I had the privilege of traveling to San Diego to take a Masters of Balayage course with Ryan Weeden. I am also certified in hand-tied. I have a special place in my heart for the curly girls, too. I love working with my guests to come up with a plan to best manage all textures of hair. I love education...like a lot... and I’m always seeking the best to deliver to each of my guests. I really look forward to getting to know you.

Hi there! My name is Morgan and I am a Los Angeles native who has been living in Central IL for about 10 years now. I attended cosmetology school in Urbana and have been with Salon 105 for about three years. I am Bello Haven trained and certified and am also a certified educator with the extension brand. I have several years of experience in both hand-tied and no-show installation methods for weft extensions, something I am truly passionate about! I’ve also received training and education with the Color Wow, L’Oreal Professional, i.d. Hair, Redken, and Goldielocks brands. I love creating soft, timeless and lived-in, natural looking colors for my guests and accentuating their hair texture and color with a beautiful cut! I believe a good hair day can turn most bad days around and that time with people who care and want to listen to you, is time well spent. I’d love to have you in my chair some time and look forward to meeting you soon!

Hi, i’m Hailey! I’ve been behind the chair since November 2021. I was born and raised here in Illinois and have always loved everything about hair and the beauty industry. Growing up, I spent many summer days at my step mom’s salon, which is where my passion for the career first began. I love being able to express my creative and artistic side through my work while helping my clients look and feel their best. While I enjoy providing all the services I offer, my favorites are blonding and hair extensions. I’m excited to continue learning and growing in such an amazing salon surrounded by so much talent. When i’m not at the salon, you can usually find me on a golf cart ride with my husband and son, enjoying lake life, or binging the latest season of any reality TV show. Check out my Instagram to see some of my work: @hair.by.haileycoplea. I look forward to seeing both new and familiar faces in my chair! <3
