On March 18, 2014, the FUN began!
With passion, a clear vision, and a top-to-bottom renovation … we opened our doors!
About STELLA

Today, that energy continues to influence us every day! We aspire to set ourselves apart and take pride in our authenticity, strong work-ethic, and talents behind the chair.
Our team of Stylists serves guests from Plymouth, Campton, Thornton, Squam Lakes area, Newfound Lake area, plus many other regions in New Hampshire.
Many of our guests travel quite a distance to see their favorite stylist–and we love that!

What Sally Wants You to Know About Her
I eat, sleep and breathe STELLA! Everyone who knows me well, knows that!
Over the last year, I have slowly cut down on my time behind the chair to focus more on the business. Finding this balance has been so wonderful for me. I feel that I can simultaneously work on bringing STELLA to the level of success we want AND see my guests on ‘hair days’ with 100% focus on them.
I am so thankful for our Team, each and every day! We would not be who we are without them.
Our guests are my top priority. No matter which chair you sit in, YOU MATTER. I will always make an effort to say ‘hello’ and welcome you into our space.
Jennifer Temple
Top 3 Strengths Behind the Chair
- Making a sincere guest connection. I strive to get past any language barrier we as stylists can be presented with.
- Always pushing myself outside of my comfort level while coming up with a plan of action for a color appointment. There is not much that we cannot achieve in-salon if something were to not go as planned, so push yourself!
- Finish work! Let us have fun with this together. ALWAYS ACCEPT THE BLOW-OUT!
Jen's Favorite Things
- Halloween! I will always and forever be the “Halloween Cruise Director” for our Salon Team!
- I love to tie-dye anything!
- I could NEVER live without chicken nuggets.

Why Rachel chose STELLA!
STELLA is a warm and welcoming environment. The Salon is bright and colorful, which I need in my life!
I chose to start my career journey here because I went there for an appointment in High School and had the best experience I have ever had at a Salon. It made me choose the Cosmetology path, so I want to make a full circle and go right back to where it started.
