Tori Thompson

Tori grew up in Rochester, MN and moved to the Twin Cities to begin her journey in cosmetology attending the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis in 2010. She discovered her true passion in life, to make someone’s day whether that be done by giving someone a new and fresh look, a touch up to the “usual” or something fun and sassy!  Her favorite techniques include balayage and using innovative, color rich tones!  Tori loves providing a full consultation to suit your specific needs and giving recommendations. She enjoys using fashion colors and being creative.

In addition to her 11 years behind the chair as a hair color specialist and educator, she also builds relationships with the cosmetology schools to share her experience in the industry and provides educational demos. She has participated in many hair show events that include RAW, University of Minnesota shows, and numerous local events in the metro and Rochester areas working with independent artists.

Tori is an animal lover, she loves tacos, fun jewelry and brunch.  She enjoys making the a world a creative and colorful place!
