Big Hair, Big Dreams
Big Hair, Big Dreams


My name is Mikaela Hartema. I am originally from Branson,Mo but I now live in Nixa, Mo. I am a mom of two beautiful boys and love to do hair! I am a recent graduate from Paul Mitchell The School Springfield and am currently looking for my salon home!













I am here because the most inspiring woman in my life brought me to this industry. My grandmother was all about beauty inside and out! She was a breast cancer survivor and even through all the tough times and losing most of her hair to chemo she still wanted her hair done in those old fashioned Velcro rollers and always had to have her blush pink nail polish on for church on sundays. Even through the sickness I saw how beautiful she was and how she felt after getting her hair and nails done. Watching her light up and seeing her feel so beautiful is what brought me to this industry. My goal is to make everyone feel beautiful, loved and suppported... even in the lows of this beautiful life we have.
