Hi - I'm Odessa.
I opened OD & Company Salon and Day Spa in May, 1991.
 

Facing the empty nest syndrome, I started cosmetology school when my youngest child was a junior in high school. Going part time took almost two years to finish. I graduated in January 1991 from Cosmetology School and August of '91 from the Charlottesville School of Massage.

I furnished a room off the salon "in case" someone wanted a massage, facial or bodywork and started establishing a clientele in hair services!

Little did I know that in only two years I would be turning away SPA services! A decision had to be made - I referred my salon clientele to other cosmetologists and began to concentrate on the SPA.

Regardless of the fact that local businessmen laughed at a "SPA" in Elkton - we expanded again in 2005 for the third and last time (for me)! In 2008 I was certified by the state as a master esthetician.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my four children, foster children and eight (eleven) grandchildren. I love scrap booking and working in my flower beds!

As we continue to strive to offer all our customers a clean, relaxing, peaceful atmosphere at OD & Company we also say a big thank you to all our clientele for making us a big success! We are always adding new services so stay in touch!

Thank you Charlie, my husband, for believing in me and for being our maintenance engineer for FREE!

Hair has always been a passion for me. I was born in 1971 and even as a young girl, I wanted to be a "Hairdresser".

I married a wonderful man in 1997. His name is Todd, and we have two sons named Draven and Gage. We also have a rotten dog named Rex! We currently reside in the town I grew up in... Elkton.

I have been in the beauty industry since 1990 and I love my career! I traveled to Phoenix, Arizona in 1999 after being chosen as a finalist by the International Cosmetology Expo from a field of 100 applicants to come and audition for a place on the four member artistic styling team known as NXT! While in Arizona I also attended a hair cutting class with world renowned educator, Yosh Toya. To keep my knowledge fresh and up-to-date with the latest styles and techniques I attend hair shows and classes at least twice a year. My areas of expertise are, but not limited to; hair cutting, hair coloring, special occasion styles and up-do's, as well as, make-up application and facial waxing. Braiding is another area in which I have much experience.

I enjoy pampering my clients and giving them special attention but most of all giving them what they want and making them look and feel their very best!

I have been a stylist since 1991, and have been with O.D. & Company since 1992. I enjoy all areas of color services, perms and cuts - including razor and clipper cuts. I keep up with new styles and techniques by attending several classes a year sponsored by Matrix, Paul Mitchell and Redken. If you would like to schedule an appointment with me, please be sure to call in advance.

I am a resident of Elkton along with my husband, Bryan, and our two children, Savannah and Cameron.

 

My name is Yvette Comer. I came to OD & Company in 1998 as an apprentice hair designer. I received my training at Massanutten Technical Center, where I was awarded my certificate in Cosmetology, making my life long dream come true.

I enjoy working with and making my clients happy. Being trained in all areas of the hair industry, my specialties are hair color and foiling. I also enjoy doing spa manicures and spa pedicures. I attend as many classes and shows as I can every year to stay up-to-date on all of the newest colors, as well as cuts and styles.

I have been married to Jeremy Comer since 2003. We live in Elkton with our dog Maggie. We enjoy horseback riding with our three Tennessee Walking Horses. Motorcycle riding also keeps us busy when we have time off.

I started working at O.D. & Company as a receptionist in 1991, when the Hair Salon opened. I worked here for four years while completing my Chemistry degree at James Madison University. After completing my degree, I left to pursue my career in Chemistry. However, unforeseen circumstances have brought me back to O.D. & Company. I am very happy to be working here again.

My job includes doing weekly payroll, filing taxes, and writing correspondence. I do the majority of my work during the hours that the shop is closed to the public. I also fill in for receptionists when they need off.

I live in Elkton with my two children, Brianna and Dakota. Brianna attends Liberty University and Dakota attends East Rockingham High School. I also enjoy serving in the SHE ministry at Harrisonburg's First Church of the Nazarene and volunteering at the schools where my children attend.

My name is Whitney McAlister. I am one of the newest stylists at O.D. & Company. I enjoy doing hair...It never seems like a job to me..it is more like a hobby. I enjoy learning new things and keeping up with the latest trends.

I married in 2011 to a great guy named Travis McAlister. I attend Shenandoah Pentacostal Holiness Church and in my spare time I like to hangout by the pool or do anything where I can be outdoors.

I thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me :) and I look forward to seeing you!

 

My name is Erin Carroll. I joined O.D. & Company in September 2008. I have been in the cosmetology field for 12 years. Being certified in all areas, my specialties are coloring, razor cuts, and pedicures.

Hair has always been my passion. Although leaving the industry for two years to seek another career in the medical field, I soon realized that my heart was still in the hair industry. I continue my training by attending as many classes as I can to stay updated on all the newest trends.

I currently live in Grottoes with my husband, Stephen and our two kids, Cody and McKenzie. We enjoy camping, and being with our friends, and family.
