KELLODIE TASSA
General Operations Manager, (she/her)
Meet Kellodie! She has lived all over the U.S. before reaching solace in Durham, NC! We like to say she's the perfect mix of Sweet Southerner and Make-It-Happen Northerner, but mostly, Kellodie is the managerial glue that holds us together at Alter EGO Salon. At work, you can always find Kellodie deep in conversation with either a client or a stylist, constantly working hard to make someone's day just that much better. When Kellodie is off duty, she enjoys exploring National parks with her family, vibing to some alternative rock music, and embracing all things creative and quirky!
Mac Gifford
Client Services Manager, (she/her)
Mac grew up in Philadelphia but in 2019 she made the quantum leap to move to Raleigh to be closer to family and to further her self-growth. She is a people person by nature and loves being able to work alongside such creative, talented people and helping them to connect with their clients. When Mac is off the clock, she finds peace and serenity in the great outdoors and within the boundless world of arts and crafts.
Merida Mathis
Client Services Manager, (she/her)
Merida was born and raised in Grimesland, NC but has since moved to Raleigh and considers her coworkers family. She loves being surrounded by the creative and supportive people at Alter EGO. With her hard working, can-do attitude, Merida is always striving to be her best self inside and outside of the salon. When Merida is at home, you can find her constructing new art projects, exploring nature, or rooting for her favorite sports teams - Go Wolfpack and Go Canes!
Kate Taylor
Salon Coordinator, (she/her)
Meet Kate, one of our In Salon Coordinators, whose roots trace back from Little Rock, Arkansas, but now calls Clayton, NC her home. With an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, Kate goes above and beyond to ensure both clients and stylists leave with smiles. Whether she's assisting on the clock or spreading kindness off-duty, Kate's dedication shines through. On her days off, you'll find her cherishing moments with her furry companions, Raquel and Beast, or delving into the thrill of urban exploration amidst abandoned buildings.
