Meet The Team

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, Nick brings over 30 years of experience to the salon industry as a stylist, educator, and salon owner. He combines technical precision with creative artistry to design looks tailored to each client’s individuality, lifestyle, and personal vision.

 

Nick believes great hair is achieved through both skill and collaboration, taking time to ensure every guest feels understood and confident in the final result. Known for his warm personality, he creates a welcoming environment where long-term client relationships naturally thrive. His passion lies in helping people look and feel their best through thoughtful, personalized hair design.

​

Over the course of his career, Nick has owned and operated his own salon in Carrollwood and later co-founded Partners Hair Studio in 2014 alongside his longtime friend Shanell, beginning a professional partnership built on over 20 years of friendship. As Shanell went on to grow Grand Salon, Nick continued to be part of the journey, working alongside her as her career and business evolved. That long-standing collaboration eventually led him to Beauty Bar on Main, where he continues his work today as part of that ongoing journey.

 

Outside of the salon, Nick is also passionate about animals, bringing the same compassion and care he shows his clients into his love for animal welfare.

Hi! I’m Melissa Infante, the stylist and founder behind Crown and Comb. You can find me right at the heart of the action at Beauty Bar on Main, where I bring a dedicated, personalized approach to every guest who sits in my chair. I have been a licensed professional since 2009, honing my craft in both the fast-paced salons of New York and the sun-drenched styles of Florida. Being an independent stylist allows me to offer the best of both worlds. You get the professional, buzzing atmosphere of a top-tier salon, paired with the specialized, one-on-one attention of the Crown and Comb brand.

​

I specialize in all color services, with a particular passion for blonding, as well as formal hair and fabulous blowouts. I love the creative energy of the industry and truly enjoy working on photo shoots and weddings, helping my clients look and feel their best for life’s most important moments.

When I’m not at the salon, I’m a proud parent to Aiden and Arabella and love spending quality time with my amazing husband, Chris. On the weekends, you can usually find us soaking up the sun at Honeymoon Island.

​

I know how busy life can get, which is why I strive to make your time at Crown and Comb the most relaxing and rewarding part of your week. I can't wait to see you at Beauty Bar on Main and help you find your perfect look!

With 15 years of experience as a Licensed Esthetician, I am the Founder of Skincare Signature, established in 2022. My passion for skincare is rooted in helping clients look and feel their absolute best through customized, results-driven treatments including facials, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and microneedling.

​

I began my career at Birmingham Cosmetic Surgery in Michigan, where I developed a strong foundation in medical aesthetics while managing both pre- and post-operative skincare care. This experience shaped my clinical approach and deepened my understanding of skin health, healing, and transformation. After relocating to Florida, I expanded my expertise by collaborating with local physicians and med spas, continuously refining my skills and staying at the forefront of advanced skincare techniques and innovations.

In 2022, I launched Skincare Signature to merge my technical expertise with a personalized, client-centered experience—offering tailored skincare solutions designed to enhance natural beauty and long-term skin wellness.​

​

In 2025, I further expanded my professional journey by joining Grand Salon and Suites, where I continue to grow my brand and elevate my services. I am also proud to be continuing this next chapter alongside visionary Shanell at Beauty Bar on Main, as we work together to expand our impact, creativity, and commitment to exceptional beauty and skincare experiences. As a Licensed Esthetician in both Michigan and Florida, I blend traditional techniques with modern innovations to deliver elevated, intentional care to every client I serve.​

Outside of the treatment room, I enjoy DIY projects, home decorating, cooking, and spending meaningful time with family and friends.​​​​​​​

​

Hi, I’m Ky, a recent graduate of the Aveda Institute, beginning my journey in the beauty industry and proudly following in my mother’s footsteps at the salon she owns. Growing up surrounded by the beauty world gave me an early appreciation for both the artistry and the genuine connections this craft creates, and I’m excited to bring that passion into my work every day.

​

I specialize in Gel and Gel X nails as well as full body waxing, with a strong focus on precision, cleanliness, and thoughtful detail. I also have a passion for special effects makeup, which influences my creative approach and love for bold, expressive artistry. My aesthetic leans toward alternative style and self-expression, allowing me to bring a fresh, modern edge into a luxury salon environment while helping clients express their individuality through polished, elevated results.

​

I’m committed to continuously growing and refining my skills, and I strive to create a welcoming, inclusive space where every client feels comfortable, confident, and authentically themselves.

​

Hi my name is Lizzy, I’m a newly licensed esthetician and proud graduate of the Aveda Institute, excited to begin this beautiful new chapter of helping women feel confident in their own skin. My passion is enhancing natural beauty while creating a relaxing, welcoming space where every client can unwind and feel cared for.

 

I currently offer customized, relaxing facials designed to target concerns such as aging, rosacea, and acne-prone skin, along with full body waxing services.

 

As I continue to grow in my career and earn advanced certifications, I look forward to expanding my treatment room with more advanced skincare treatments. I can’t wait to welcome you in and be a part of your skincare and self-care journey!

My experience across both the Chicago and New Port Richey markets has given me a versatile, adaptive approach that combines trend awareness with highly personalized service. I continuously refine my craft through ongoing education and industry trends to ensure each guest receives current, elevated techniques tailored specifically to them.
