MO MURPHY: MASTER STYLIST/OWNER

Since her graduation from Aveda in 1994, Mo has spent her entire career in the Aveda network.  Her natural curiosity, love of hairdressing, sponge-like need to learn, and inability to sit still drove her to try every flavor in the jellybean jar that is the world of hair:  as stylist/colorist, educator, manager, coach, creative director, writer of curriculum, hair show artist, and now, owner of Miyagi.   Mo thrives on change and evolution.  She has a ferocious passion for taking care of people, which makes her well-suited to the role of ninja salon owner.
Mo’s styles have graced models at the Voltage: Fashion Amplified shows and numerous other high fashion events, and some of the most beautiful people in the world:  her clients.

BETHANY BRIHN:  STYLIST

Bethany was catapulted into the depths of the hair care scene by the fire breathing flames of Aveda and its Institute in killer Minneapolis in 2001 A.D.  Decked out in the blackest of black with a raging desire to chop striking locks, slice eye-grabbing colour, and ask only the most crucial queries to shred every fear of departing with an utterly rancid ‘do.  Slaying deadly hair screams of inspiration; seething from Aveda and Intercoiffure’s mastodon expertise, treks to Australia and New Zealand, Jamaica, NYC and throughout the States, the most lethal music, art, design, fashion, and morbidly bloody humour.

DENNIS KAMP: STYLIST

In an ongoing quest to find  a philosophy to match his own, Dennis trained at multiple salons trying to find the true path.  After an arduous six year journey,  and an unforeseen crippling boot to the head  delivered by a  stone samurai with Drunken Monkey skills; Dennis needed a  small hiatus from his Hair- Fu.

He filled this time with meditation and contemplation in order to regain balance, harmony, and purpose.  His wanderings filled with many twists and turns led him eventually to  the door of Miyagi, the dojo for beauty.  In this  his mad Aveda skills, would be met by others worthy of the task. Finally able to return to his home village of Nordeast Minneapolis and reclaim his destiny.  He is now what he was always meant to be a hair warrior, striking terror into the hearts of dull and unruly coiffures.

JACK HYSELL: STYLIST

Since 2003, Jack has dedicated himself to his industry, and also, to the journey of learning.  His experience was gained in Sioux City, Iowa where he worked as a Master Stylist at the towns premiere AVEDA Concept Salon.

In October of 2008, Jack packed up his shiny multi colored shears and his pure ninja prowness and headed north to Minneapolis joining the team at Miyagi!  His talents extend to acting, playing piano, taekwondo, and some others that if we told you about we would have to kill you.
