Kylene

Owner & Licensed Esthetician

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare and education, the owner of Embrace Beauty brings a one-of-a-kind mix of professionalism, heart, and beauty expertise to everything she does. A former award-winning salon owner, she was proudly voted Best in New Hampshire in 2011 and 2012 — proof that passion, skill, and a little sparkle go a long way.

Before stepping fully into the world of esthetics, she spent years as a middle and high school assistant principal, where she mastered the art of mentorship, confidence-building, and helping people become their best selves (inside and out!). Today, as a licensed esthetician and salon owner, she blends advanced training with a warm, uplifting approach that makes every client feel comfortable, cared for, and confident.

Always learning and evolving, she stays on the cutting edge of the beauty industry with the latest techniques, technology, and education — because her clients deserve nothing but the best. At Embrace Beauty, you're not just another appointment; you're welcomed, celebrated, and truly embraced.

Carrie Anne

Licensed Cosmetologist, Esthetician & Makeup Artist

A multi-talented Licensed Cosmetologist, Esthetician, Makeup Artist, and Instructor with over 10 years of experience — and a whole lot of passion for helping people look and feel their best. From glowing skin and flawless makeup to confidence-boosting transformations, she's worked with a wonderfully diverse clientele including mature and teen skin, sensitive skin, and those seeking transgender, corrective, and camouflage makeup services.

In the classroom, Carrie Anne brings energy, encouragement, and a big heart, creating a supportive space where students can learn, grow, and shine. When she's not teaching or behind the chair, you'll find her giving back to the community by volunteering her talents at Families in Transition's emergency homeless shelter and a women's substance abuse recovery center.

And when it's time to have a little fun (and maybe get a little spooky), Carrie Anne can be found painting faces at fairs and festivals, creating characters for Community Theater, or crafting truly terrifying looks at Spookyworld presents Nightmare New England. Beauty by day, special effects by night — she does it all!

Madi

Manicurist Apprentice

Madi is currently completing her manicurist apprenticeship program, expected to be finished by February 2027.

For Madi, nails have never just been a hobby—they've been a lifelong passion! From playing with polish and nail art for as long as she can remember to now turning that love into a career, Madi is excited to officially begin her journey in the beauty industry.

While attending school, Madi will also be spending time at Embrace Beauty, learning from the pros, perfecting her skills, and bringing her own fun and creative style along the way. And with her service dog, Ranger, by her side, you can count on your time with Madi to feel relaxed, welcoming, and maybe come with a few puppy smiles too!

When she's not working as a dog groomer, at school, or hanging out at Embrace, Madi is a country girl at heart. You can usually find her line dancing, taking in a country concert, or camping. She also has a serious love for travel—with more than 20 cruises and numerous countries already under her belt!

Madi can't wait to keep learning, get creative, and eventually turn all those years of loving nails into beautiful sets for her own clients at Embrace Beauty.

Linda

Henna Artist

Linda is a creative spirit with a love for art, culture, and trying just about anything that sparks her curiosity! As she begins her high school career, she plans to study Cosmetology through a CTE program while continuing to grow her skills as a henna artist. In the meantime, you'll find her at Embrace Beauty learning the ins and outs of salon life until it's officially her turn to get behind the chair!

Art has always been a big part of Linda's life. She's filled more sketchbooks than she can count, served as President of the Junior Art Honors Society, and even earned a scholarship through the Magnify Voices Expressive Art Contest for a piece focused on teen mental health.

But Linda's interests definitely don't stop with art! She's played clarinet as a member of the Tri-M Music Honor Society, joined the Debate Team, earned her Red Belt in Kenpo Karate, and through the Flying Gravity Circus has tried her hand at acrobatics, comedy, juggling, and even stilt-walking. If it's creative, different, or a little adventurous, chances are Linda is ready to give it a try!

Linda is also continuing to develop her talent as a henna artist and is available for parties, fairs, and festivals. You can check out her work on Instagram at @hennaontheflybylinda, where she often works alongside her mom, Carrie Anne.
