Lee Ortivez, Designer/Stylist, Proprietor


Lee Ortivez Hi, My name is Lee Ortivez. I have 3 wonderful children named Hannah, Christian, and Ché, and a new addition, a grandson, Jayden Lee. I have been a professional hairdresser for 25 years, beginning in high school. I am licensed cosmetology instructor at Scot Lewis Paul Mitchell Partner school while owning and operating Salon Ché Salon and Day Spa, located in historic downtown Nampa. I am also a TIGI Ambassador giving frequent product knowledge classes at the surrounding schools and salons.

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.

Tessa Matteri, Salon Stylist

 

Tessa Matteri 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
Tessa Matteri
