Tara Gowen - Owner/Master Stylist

Hello, beautiful! I’m Tara—the proud owner of Coastal Glo and your soon-to-be favorite stylist. With over 17 years of experience (and licenses in five states, courtesy of my military-life travels), I’ve picked up a few tricks of the trade… okay, maybe more than a few. I specialize in color corrections and all things blonding—basically, turning "oops" into "oh wow!" I’ve also got a soft spot (and a solid skill set) for fragile or thinning hair, and I don’t leave the guys out either—men’s cuts are totally in my wheelhouse. I believe hair should be fun, fabulous, and tailored just for you. Let’s make those dream hair goals a reality!
Billy Gowen - Owner/Master Trainer

Hello! I'm Billy -- a certified personal trainer with a Masters Degree in Exercise Science and dozens of certifications in Flexology, Nutrition, and overall wellness. My passion is helping people move better, feel stronger and younger, and live healthier through a balance of flexibility, mindful movement, and simple, sustainable nutrition. At Coastal Glo Salon & Spa, I bring a holistic approach to health in a relaxing environment. I focus not just on how your body looks, but how it feels & functions. My goal is to help you unlock your full potential, reduce tension, recharge, and ready to glo from the inside out. From assisted stretching to nutritional advice and workout programming I am your go to guy.
Teresa - Senior Stylist

Hi, I'm Teresa – lived-in color and blonding specialist. Creating natural, effortless beauty is my passion. I specialize in lived-in color and dimensional blonding, and I love helping my clients achieve hair that looks just as gorgeous weeks (or even months) later as it did the day they left the salon. My approach is all about enhancing your natural beauty and making sure your hair fits your lifestyle. To me, it’s not just about pretty hair—it’s about building trust, offering honest guidance, and helping you feel confident every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and help you love your hair again.
Stephanie - Emerging Stylist

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm a licensed cosmetologist excited to begin my journey in the beauty industry. I enjoy creating vivid, fashion-forward color transformations and delivering clean, detailed men's cuts while continuing to grow my skills behind the chair. I also have a strong passion for nail health and beauty. My goal is to create a welcoming, comfortable environment where every guest feels confident, cared for, and excited about their look. I look forward to building lasting relationships with my clients and growing alongside them throughout their beauty journey.
