Specializing in Goldwell color line and Babe Extensions, Welch offers a plethora of high-end services for all occasions, including weddings. Welch chose to bring this wealth of knowledge to South Lake Tahoe in July of 2014 when she moved from Arizona with her husband Ryan and their son Andrew to pursue their dream of living in Tahoe. ?Tahoe is a place we have always wanted to live and it has been our goal to move here for a very long time,? Welch said. ?It was hard for me to leave all my clients in Arizona, but that was something I was willing to sacrifice to move to this beautiful place.? After scouring the Internet, Welch discovered that Tahoe Hair Company was for sale. She jumped on the opportunity to purchase the cabin in which the business resides and fulfill her family?s dream of living in the Basin.
