Colorist Milissa Larsen joins HIP Salon team
We’re excited to welcome a new colorist to our Hair Innovation Professionals team: Milissa Larsen.
A longtime color technician, Milissa is trained in all aspects of color processes including highlights, lowlights, double processes, corrective color, and balayage. She attended the Pivot Point Academy in Bloomingdale.
“I am highly trained in many aspects of the profession, such as extensions, style, and makeup; however, my passion is color.”
“I have done hair for print, film, fashion, celebrities and celebrity adjacent, and I’ve owned and managed salons in my past.” Milissa also was formerly a color educator for three separate color lines.
Now she wants to pursue her love for creating beautiful hair color for her clients. “I am humbled at the sparkle in my clients’ eyes and their smile when they see their hair creation,” she says.
Her superpower is balayage. “I was trained to do an authentic French balayage,” she says. “Color transformations – whether they are a complete change or covering the outgrowth – are always fun.”
In her personal life, Milissa is a metalsmith. “I also can tell a great joke, and I am a great audience.”
Her hours are Wednesdays 10-5, Thursdays 12-8, Fridays 9-2.

Make an appointment with Milissa by calling 847-882-4474.
