Jenny Murphy

Stylist

It’s not just a hair service to Jenny, it’s art. Prior to becoming a stylist 6 years ago, she received a Bachelor’s Degree in Art. She applies her understanding of color theory and design concepts to her craft every day. Trained through Aveda, Jenny is skilled at balayage, hair painting, hair color, and men’s cuts. As a curly girl herself, she specializes in curly and wavy hair, understanding the dynamics of hair textures and curl patterns. She also enjoys the precision it takes to deliver the perfect men’s fade, taper, and texturized styles.

Jenny’s clients love that she’s relaxed, easy-going, and really listens to what they need - which is a big part of her expressive and artistic approach.

Ellen Clare

Esthetician

Ellen cares most about connection - whether it be through artistic expression or a heartfelt facial.

After receiving her BA in Creative Writing, Ellen moved back home to Omaha, working numerous odd-jobs before landing a reception position at a local salon & spa. During that time she realized how much skin therapy can do for not only the complexion, but the soul, and her passion for esthetics was instantly sparked.

She enrolled in the esthetics program at Capitol School of Hairstyling & Esthetics and received her esthetics license in July of 2021.

quote-left My knowledge and love for my work grows daily and I truly believe that is evident in the service I provide. My goal is to give every single client a one-of-a-kind, enjoyable, and quality experience. I want my clients to feel comfortable and cared for. It’s the biggest honor to help others feel their best, within their own skin. So, what do you say? Let’s connect! I’ve got a safe space for you.

Policies

Cancelations

Schedule adjustments are necessary; therefore, we respectfully request at least 24 hour notice for cancellations. Please understand that when you forget or cancel your appointment without giving enough notice, we miss the opportunity to fill that reserved time. Our appointments are confirmed 48 hours in advance because we know how easy it is to forget an appointment you booked, possibly, months ago. Since the services are reserved for you personally, a cancellation fee will apply.

· Less than 24 hour notice will result in a charge equal to 50% of the reserved service amount .
· "No shows" will be charged 100% of the reserved service amount.
· When making a reservation, a credit card must be linked to your account. Multiple services not canceled 24 hours in advance will be charged 100% of the reserved service amount.

The cancellation policy allows us the time to inform our standby guests of any availability, as well as keeping our team members' scheduled filled, thus better serving everyone.

Antidote Salon policies are presented and provided in the best quality and tradition of excellent servicing for our established and future clientele. Thank you for viewing and supporting our policy criteria.

Refunds

We want you to be fully satisfied with the service you receive at Antidote. Although we do not offer refunds on salon services, we will make every effort possible to correct any issues or concerns you may have with your initial service. If you have any concerns, please notify us within two days. We will then request that you come into the salon so the stylist who performed the initial service may make any adjustments. Adjustments are free of charge within two weeks of the initial service. If a different service is requested, that service may be charged as a new service at full price.
