About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Welcome to our corner of the world (aka the lounge) at Nectar — where hair happens and friendships are born. We’re a collective of distinct voices, styles, and aesthetics who somehow manage to sync up beautifully. One of us is bold with reds and blunt bobs, another lives for lived-in balayage, someone else is mastering blondes and extensions, and every one of us believes in giving you that “just left my chair, but I didn’t want to leave” kind of glow.
What makes us tick? We show up with kindness, creativity, and plenty of laughs — because we believe the best hairstyle is the one you feel as good in as you look. Whether you’re coming in for a cut, a color refresh, a special-occasion glam, or just some self-care time, we treat you like a friend. (Yes, the travel stories, pup photos, and real talk about life on the side are all part of the package.)
We are proud to be inclusive, transparent and genuine. We don’t do hidden fees or double-booking stress. What you see is what you get: skilled hands, safe space, honest conversations, and the kind of care that keeps you coming back. At the end of the day, our aim is simple — help you feel confident, comfortable, and perfectly you.
So thanks for dropping in. Let’s make your next hair day a highlight — together.

Angela Green-Ludvik
Red Heads Final Boss
$110
Hey, I’m Angela—22 years behind the chair and still just as obsessed.
I started as an apprentice and now I’m the go-to girl for personalized cuts and bold color. Want a sleek bob, some flirty fringe, or a new shape for your mermaid-length locks? I’ve got you. Reds are my favorite—I live for a fiery transformation.
This past year, I took the leap and opened Nectar Hair Lounge. The learning curve? Steep. But building a space that’s clean, safe, and inspiring for both my stylists and guests has been one of the best things I’ve ever done. I am devoted to creating a clean space for my staff and clients. As a salon owner, I truly feel it's my responsibility to provide a clean, safe environment. No one should have to risk their health to work in the hair industry. We are proud to use high-quality organic, low-toxic hair color, aftercare, and styling products. Davines has been my go-to aftercare and styling product line for 20 years. I use Oi Milk on every single guest. The smell is intoxicating!!
When I’m not at the salon, I’m with my husband, two daughters, and three spoiled fur babies—probably in sweats, binge-watching Netflix, and eating The Tonight Dough straight from the pint (don’t judge). I’m a sucker for new shoes, bold lipstick, and a killer local food spot. Menasha has been my home for over a decade, and I love being part of this small but mighty community.
Abbey Halle
Your Whole Family's Hair Expert
$90
Hello, I am Abbey, and welcome to my chair. With over 17 years of experience, my main goal during your appointment is to enhance your natural beauty and ensure that you can easily recreate the same look at home. Your appointment is a safe and relaxing environment for you to get pampered and enjoy an elevated experience. My expertise lies in coloring and dry cutting, and my own thick hair gives me an edge with clients with similar hair. Whether you are an individual or a family, you are all welcome to my chair. I am excited to meet you and learn something new today.
Pa Houa Lee
Black to Blonde Extraordinaire
$85
Hi, I’m Pa Houa! I specialize in transforming any head of hair to blonde—whether through balayage, highlighting, or a custom blend of both—while still offering a full range of services to fit your needs. Detail-oriented to keep my clients happy and my type-A personality thriving. Introvert at heart but an extrovert when it comes to making you look and feel amazing, I’m also a newly accepted applicant to the Davines Envoy Program, excited to bring Nectar even closer to the Davines community. I’m constantly learning and expanding my craft, including completing courses in Keratin Smoothing Treatments and much more.
When I’m not in the salon, you’ll probably find me gaming with friends, photographing and editing life’s special moments, or bed-rotting while watching dramas.
I can’t wait to see you in my chair—and if we run out of things to talk about, that’s okay, we’ll just let the foils do the talking.
Jaelei Yang
Classic Meets Chic
$110
Hi, I’m Jaelei, a beauty lover through and through. I trained at the Institute of Beauty and Wellness, an Aveda school in Milwaukee, and have been doing hair and makeup for 15 years. After seven years of running my own business, I’m excited to bring my passion and experience to the Nectar Hair Lounge team in Menasha.
I’m a REF Certified Master Colorist who values connection, great conversations, and attention to every detail — from the consultation to the blowout (my favorite part). I specialize in natural highlights, blunt bobs, and special occasion makeup, always tailoring each look to fit your lifestyle and maintenance level.
When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me hanging out with my little dog, Ted, or exploring new places and experiences. I can’t wait to meet you and make you feel your absolute best.
Mary Cole
