About Us

We Are the Best

After a combined 35 years in the industry, Kasie Peak and Malissa Skrastins bought Eden Salon on Western Ave in October of 2018. Students of Jan Hill, Kasie, and Malissa were raised in the multi-location Eden Salon Family. Aveda trained and certified, Kasie and Malissa thought it was the right time to explore this industry on their own. On October 1st of 2018, MK Willow & Co Salon was born. Having roots in Aveda we knew we wanted to keep in tune with the sustainable, natural, certified organic culture we were raised in. In searching for a name we kept coming back to Willow. Then we read the symbolism of the Willow tree. Green like the branches of the tree, the willow tree symbolizes nature, fertility, and life. It also represents balance, learning, growth, and harmony. The image represents strength, stability, and the structure of the trunk stands firm and is able to withstand the greatest of all challenges. We couldn’t think of a better creed to wrap around our new business, Of course, it would be nothing without the hard work and love of our company, Lisa Gannaway, Nikki Cardone, Bryant Gray, and Heather Curry. YOU are the heartbeat of our company.
