Marissa Bender | Effortless Color + Cut // Salon Owner + Educator

Marissa is an artist at heart. Her passion for hair was born out of her love for dance and fine arts, as well as growing up in her Papou’s salon in Warren, Ohio.

As a Balayage & Color Corrections expert + educator, her attention to detail and commitment to the creative process is unmatched. Marissa focuses on collaboration and strives to showcase each guests individuality through a balance of cut and color, creating “one of a kind” looks that grow out effortlessly. 

When she’s not painting hair, you can find Marissa in a dance or yoga studio - or enjoying time with her husband Joel walking their two dogs, Lucy + Winston around the city.
