Debby Bechtold
Owner and Stylist
Debby has been in the hair industry since 1977, almost forty years! She was born into it and says, "it's in her blood." She followed in the footsteps of her mother, Dola Shepherd who opened Wentzville House of Beauty in 1965. She enjoys doing colors and cuts. Her favorite product lines are currently Unite and Alterna. Her all time favorite line is Nioxin, which helps to prevent fine hair. In her free time she enjoys being with her family and grandkids.
Debby is a member of the National Cosmetology Association (now called the Professional Beauty Association). This association advances the professional beauty industry by providing its members with education, charitable outreach, government advocacy, events and more. Debby was also one of the founding members of the St. Charles Cosmetology Foundation.
Tricia Winters
Stylist
Tricia has been doing hair for almost fifteen years. She is a third generation hair dresser who was born and raised in the salon with her mother and grandmother. Her favorite thing about doing hair is the social aspect of working with people, and making them feel good about themselves. Everything about being a hair stylist is rewarding, but if she had to pick one thing, she loves doing color because of the creativity that is involved.
Tricia is certified for hair extensions and is always continuing her education. Her favorite products right now include Unite Lazer Straight, which smoothes hair but doesn't take the volume or body out of the hair. Tricia also loves using the Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Micromist by Alterna, which adds shine and smoothness. Tricia spends her "downtime" with her three children and their very busy social schedules. Her hobbies include home decorating and crafting!
Kayla Powelson
Stylist
Kayla has been a hair stylist for seven years at Wentzville House of Beauty. Her favorite thing about being a hair stylist is the social aspect. Kayla is a people person and enjoys socializing with her clients. You will have not only a hair stylist, but also a friend after you see her. She always greets and leaves you with a warm smile! Being a hairdresser also serves as a creative outlet for Kayla.
Two of Kayla's favorite products are the Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi Dry Oil Micromist and the Bamboo Volume 48 Hour Sustainable Volume Spray. Kayla has two toddlers so she spends much of her so called "free time" running after her 3 kids and with her family.
