The Designers

Lee Ortivez, Designer/Stylist, Proprietor

I enjoy being an instructor at Scot Lewis Paul Mitchell partner school. This will give me a new side to the business aspect and to be part of the educational team of future professionals.

My name is Tessa Matteri and I am a stylist at Salon Ché.  I have always aspired to do hair..., I love it!  It is so important to me that I make sure that any client of mine walks away happy.

My education had a strong emphasis in advanced colorist skills, and the industry is something I have a strong passion for continuously learning more.  I have been graced with mentors who have educated and done platform work for industry leading companies like TIGI, Sexy Hair, Italy, Babe Hair Extensions, Joico Color, and more.  I am SO happy to be in a salon that has been established as an advanced training center!

I'm from a very the rural area of Jordan Valley, OR, where my family owns and operates a large cattle ranch.  I moved to Idaho to pursue my career in cosmetology.

When I'm not doing hair, I like to be with family and friends, going to rodeos and concerts, doing artwork, dancing, camping, riding four-wheelers and horses, cooking, and shopping.  Hard work and consideration towards others are my biggest values and I strive to reflect that in everything I do!

I welcome everyone in to come see the salon and I hope to have you in my chair!

God Bless

Hi, my name is Kara S. Opfermann, I have lived in Caldwell for all of my life. I am the daughter of Alan and Lisa Kerrick, which are the best parents ever. I have one older brother, Adam, who lives in Virginia, I also have a younger sister, Ali, who lives here in Caldwell, along with my little brother, Charlie.

I graduated high school from Greenleaf Friends Academy in 2003, then went onto Headmasters School of Hair Design in 2006. I love what I am doing, and I love to watch my clients leave just glowing.

I am married and have two kids, Riley is 3, and Taylor is 2. I believe that family always come first. I am very excited to work for Salon Ché and I am looking forward to be able to have the chance to make you glow when you leave.

Hi, my name is Joel Barber,

I am a hair stylist who enjoys giving people a new look.Graduating at the top of my class at The Paul Mitchell School in Boise, I set out to change the way people view themselves by working with their hair.

Not only focusing my time in the salon and gym but also at home with my wife and four kids, I live for changing people's look with hair as well as the way they look physically.  I'm always focusing on helping people and, because I'm a hair stylist, my energy is well utilized.

With my background as a personal trainer, I continue to change people's lives day in and day out. I am very excited to work with the Salon Ché team and I am dedicated to help each and every client who walks through the door.  Being able to meet new and existing clientele is what makes me look forward an enjoyable experience.

Hi, my name is Angelica,

My name is Angelica Martin del Campo and I moved from Yakima, WA to Nyssa, OR four years ago.  I graduated from Treasure Valley Academy of Beauty in Ontario, OR in May 2011.

I'm happily married with two teenage daughters and a pre-school age son.  My favorite pastimes are listening to music, reading, and spending time with friends and family.

It gives me great satisfaction to see that something that I created can bring a smile to someone's face.
