Meet our Team
Samantha Kay Paris
Hi, I'm Sam! ​
​
With a deep passion for the beauty industry and extensive education with Redken, Invisible Bead Extensions, HotHeads, Amika, Hanzo Hattori, Fancy Scissors, and so much more, I specialize in lightening services, layered cuts, extensions, and-- most importantly-- communication. I truly believe that a great salon experience begins with thoroughly understanding my clients' needs, and I take pride in creating personalized, confidence-boosting transformations.
​
Beyond the chair, I am our founder, independent educator, and Registered Nurse! I adore leading our amazing team and helping them grow in this industry. This led me to begin teaching classes of my own as an independent educator. My RN license allows me to bring a unique credential to the salon that informs my approach to client care with an added focus on safety and precision and provides a background that not only enhances the quality of service I deliver but also supports our team's ongoing growth and innovation, as our salon grows in its spa and esthetic offerings. ​
​
When I'm not in the salon, I love to unwind by reading, watching Bravo TV, running, cooking with my husband, playing with our two mini dachshunds, and enjoying a glass of wine.

Cassidy Isenhour
Meet Cassidy!
​
Cass has been a licensed esthetician for almost 2 years now, having received her basic license from Belle Sante School of Esthetics in 2023. This fall, she will be returning to school at Sylvain Melloul International Hair Academy to earn her Master Esthetician License. We are so proud of her! Stay tuned for all the services soon to come!
​
Cass became an esthetician because she wanted to create a comfortable, welcoming space where people could feel relaxed and refreshed. Having experienced skin struggles herself, she is passionate about offering personalized skincare that truly meets each individual's needs. She strives to help others feel beautiful, inside and out, by providing them with treatments that enhance their natural glow and boost their confidence.
​
When she is not in the salon, you can find Cassidy coaching middle school girls' basketball, reading a romantasy book, or hanging out with her Westie puppy, Dobby.
​
Cassidy is a true gem. Storybook's first employee, Cassidy has had so much part in making this place what it is today. We could not imagine a salon that Cass was not a part of. Booking an appointment with Cassidy means booking a personalized, relaxing, and rejuvenating esthetic service that will take your self-care to the next level. Let's work together to enhance your natural beauty! Cassidy can't wait to meet you! (And believe us, you want to meet her!)
