We would like to introduce you to the staff of Golden Hills Salon:

Mary Alvarez is the salon’s barber and new owner. She moved to Tehachapi from Bakersfield when she bought the existing Golden Hills Salon this February. Mary has been barbering for 27 years; she was trained in Orange County by master barbers. Her goal is to have the salon be a “family place” where she can watch children grow up, and have a friendly place their parents can come to for their haircare needs. She would especially like to meet local correctional officers, military active duty, and veterans, as she is an army mom, herself. Please come in, she’d love to meet you. Walk-ins welcome.

Terry Schaffer is the salon’s manicurist. She has lived in Tehachapi for 23 years, has been a manicurist for 27, and she has been at Golden Hills Salon for 3 years. While she can do pretty much everything from acrylics to dry-pedicures, Terry is currently promoting gel-polish manicures. Terry is a believer and says it’s time to replace acrylics with gel-polish, “You will get strength and beauty with your own natural nails, and a gel manicure that will last up to 2 weeks!” She offers a variety of colors to choose from, including French white tip. Call the salon at (661) 823-0880 to book your appointment. In March new clients are half off, call Terry for details.

Ginger Kunstmann is one of the salon’s stylists. She is a master at cutting, perming, and coloring hair - and she’s so busy you’ll have to make an appointment by calling Golden Hills Salon at (661) 823-0880. Ginger has been with the salon for over 5 years, lived in Tehachapi for well over 20 years, and has been a licensed stylist for 25 plus years.

Ginger provides the highest quality of service with a gentle touch, and a creativity that translates a hairstyle into something artistic. Known for her “Custom Creative Professional” hair styles, she has women, men and children as clients.

Maritza Calderon is a stylist and colorist at the salon, with almost 10 years of experience. She is very thorough with her consultations. Maritza a 20 year Tehachapi resident, a friendly hairdresser, she is well liked by the other staff and has a loyal clientele. Walk-ins are welcome.
