Hi, Tricia here! 👋
At Trixies Salon & Spa, things feel so exciting right now. It's like we're on the brink of something amazing! We're growing, embracing fresh ideas, and always looking toward the future to better serve our clients and community.
If you're new around here, let me (re)introduce you to Trixies!
First Things First: How’d Trixies Even Start?
Trixies isn’t just a salon — it’s a legacy. I come from a long line of hairdressers, which means being in the “people business” is in my blood.
My passion has always been about more than just hair; it's about nurturing new talent, building lasting relationships with guests, and making a difference in our community. Since opening our doors in 2006 with a single chair, Trixies has grown to a team of 20 with four vibrant locations. Every day, I’m grateful to “live the life I've imagined," inspired by one of my favorite quotes from Henry David Thoreau.
I dreamed of a life where I could give back, build community, and be a part of something meaningful. Trixies is about embodying the Heart of a Hairdresser — not just through our services, but through our commitment to local outreach, like the Empower Boutique at John Stoddard Cancer Center, beauty services for hospice patients, and my involvement with the Small Business Development Center of Iowa.
And in my spare time? I’m pouring my heart into projects like Heart of a Hairdresser and the Your Sasstastic Life podcast and events. My latest venture is helping dream up A Candlelit Forest — the ultimate camping experience!
Outside of Trixies, you'll probably catch me with my family on a road trip in my Jeep, exploring antique shops, camping, or just enjoying the local treasures of our Des Moines community.
Supporting small businesses isn’t just a November theme for us; it’s a way of life!
