Our Team

Hi, my name is Terri, I have been servicing guests of all ages since the ’80s. I have seen styles come go and come back again. I have grown a successful career and do so by continuing my education. I attend classes all over the nation and help to grow our new talent at Altered Ego Salon.
I am the salon’s extension specialist and do an array of different techniques including hot & cold fusion, wefts, tape in’s, hand-tied, and integrated hairpieces to name a few. I am also a Deva Certified stylist. I have trained with some of the top colorists in our industry and embrace my craft every day.
You can find me in the salon Tuesday through Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm. Unless I am in classes, or at the races of course.

Hi, I am Tawni, the Owner of Altered Ego Salon. I carried on my mom’s legacy in 2002 when we moved from her previous location on Southern and McClintock. Our salon has been servicing the valley since 1983.
I attended the House of Michael Beauty Academy during high school and graduated in 1991. Right after high school I moved away to Colorado and went to school at the Colorado Institute of Art and Design. My passion has always been for art and I work best in a creative environment. While getting my degree in Colorado I worked with 2 amazing stylists and fell in love with the beauty industry even more. I had a short career in graphic design and made the decision to go into the beauty industry full time.
Today I can be found in the salon almost all the time. Whether I am behind the chair, working on the business, or training my staff, I am always available to say hi! My hours are Tuesday thru Friday from 9 am to 8 pm “ish” I take Saturdays and Sundays to be with my AMAZING husband and daughter. I do book up well in advance so call in advance but have a cancellation list that comes in handy.

Hi, my name is Lynda and I knew from a young age that I was destined to do hair! I graduated from the Studio Academy of Beauty in 2012 and my career behind the chair began when I joined Altered Ego in 2017. I have always viewed hair as an art form and I love meeting new people and helping them find their unique look, especially when we get to geek out over anime in the process! My favorite part of salon life is having fun with fashion colors and leveling up my bob skills. You can follow me on Instagram @that.hair.nerd to see my latest creations!

Hi, my name is Letty Guerra, I am a licensed hairstylist and skilled in makeup. I get to express my creative side through bridal, special occasions, special effects makeup, and photoshoots. 2012 my journey started at Paul Mitchell The School in Temecula, CA, and then to the Paul Mitchell School in Costa Mesa, CA. My career was put on hold when my husband joined the Military and we were on the move. I eventually worked my way back into the industry through a Barber Salon in Virginia Beach where I sharpened up my skills in the craft of men’s’ haircutting. In 2018 we landed in Arizona where I eventually found my home at Altered Ego Salon. I am currently pursuing my career in men’s and women’s grooming. Follow me to see my work on Instagram @glamletty

Hi, I’m Cindy, and for me, being a hairdresser wasn’t an option, it was inevitable. I am the third generation of hairstylists and barbers. My home away from home was my grandma’s salon. In my childhood, I spent many weekends there, helping clean brushes and roller trays and entertaining her clients. I was originally licensed in 1981 through Phoenix Academy of Beauty, and I continue my education at Scottsdale Community College. I am also Sebastian International and Goldwell International certified. I was an independent Salon owner in Tempe AZ for 28 years prior to joining the Altered Ego team on November 1, 2018. With my experience and education, my specialties have become color, precision cuts, men’s clipper cuts, and perms. I love kids as well; they are always welcomed in my chair.
I am available Wednesdays & Thursdays, 8 AM – 8 PM, and Fridays & Saturdays 8 AM – 6 PM. I welcome same-day appointments and walk-ins as my schedule permits. Stop by and let’s explore your options!

Hi! My name is Charissa. I have been doing hair professionally since 2014. I love love love blondes, anything from root shadowing to highlights to bleach blondes. I have been working hard to perfect the art of blonding.

A little background about my schooling… I went to EVIT for cosmetology right out of high school. In 2014 I got a job with Dolce and I worked there for 3 1/2 years. After my time with Dolce, I started a family and took some time off and through a referral, I found my new home, Altered Ego Salon! I am a busy mom of a beautiful boy. I have the opportunity to work part-time here in the salon. You can catch me Wednesday- Saturday. Wednesday & Thursday my hours are 12-8, Friday & Saturday my hours are 10-5. I always recommend booking a color appointment in advance. For specialty colors like Balayage, Vivid’s, and Color Corrections, I do like to book a consultation, so we know how long to book for and go over budget.
