Courtney Spies
I'm Courtney Spies, founder of The Studio on Bridge.
I've spent nearly 25 years in the cosmetology industry and over a decade as a salon owner, but at heart, I'm simply someone who loves people, creativity, and thoughtful work. I'm guided by a deep appreciation for the arts, meaningful connection, and the belief in leaving people and places better than I found them. As a proud mom of three and a lifelong learner, I understand the importance of balance, care, and creating spaces where people feel supported and at ease. The Studio on Bridge was created as an elevated yet approachable home for artistry- where integrity, intention, and genuine care quietly lead the way, and both clients and stylists can grow and thrive.
Caroline Kay
Hi I’m Caroline! I’m a lover of creative and inclusive cuts and custom color services. I enjoy stepping out of the box to create something special every time whether it’s a fantasy look, more of a natural look, or simply a fresh new cut! Outside of the salon you’ll find me listening to music, doing photo shoots with friends, and enjoying nature. I am also an animal lover, with a tabby cat name Mac and a retriever/boxer mix named Maverick.
Nicole Brecht
Hi, I'm Nicole! I've been behind the chair for over 10 years now and am the salon manager here at the Studio on Bridge. I love enhancing an individual's beauty in any way that feels best to them. From natural texture and dimension to a full head of vivids and anything in-between! It feels so special to be a part of people's life by doing hair, listening to stories, and training the next generation of hairstylists! Outside of the salon I'm a big home-body with my husband and pup. I'm a big book reader and love to watch all sorts of TV series! But from time to time we love to get out to listen to live music or try new foods! Can't wait to meet you!
Izzy Kissinger
Hey, I’m Izzy! I’m a big lover of crafting haircuts that feel tailored to you, bold vivid colors, and those effortlessly cool lived-in looks that grow out like a dream. When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll probably find me outside soaking up the sun, digging through thrift shops for vintage treasures, blasting music (all genres welcome), or hanging with my dogs. My chair is an inclusive space for everyone. Whether you’re here for a whole new vibe or just a quick cleanup, I’m here to make you feel like the best version of yourself — no judgment, just good hair and great conversation!
HANNAH Contalee
Hello, I’m Hannah! I’ve been a stylist behind the chair for over 10 years. I have a passion for lived in colors and blonding services. I also enjoy gray blending colors and giving all my clients a haircut customized to them that makes you feel confident! Getting to know everyone who sits in my chair and having great conversations is one of the highlights of my job and I love being able to make people feel comfortable, special and beautiful! Outside of work you could find me in my kitchen cooking dinner or baking sourdough bread. I am also a dog lover and have two adorable weenie dogs named Cedar and Cypress. On the weekends I love exploring new restaurants, going on walks in one of Columbus’s many parks and going to the mall and shopping with my significant other. I strive for perfection in everything I do and am grateful for the trust my clients give me with their hair. I hope to see you in my chair soon!

Hey, I’m Emily! My passion is making every client feel beautiful, confident, and refreshed with a look they love. From dimensional looks and highlights to vivid fashion colors and alternative styles, I love helping clients express themselves through their hair. I also enjoy creating great haircuts to compliment every look. Whether you’re after a subtle refresh or a bold transformation, I’m here to bring your vision to life! When I’m not at the salon, you’ll probably find me checking out a cute local cafe before heading off to antique or thrift shop. I love finding unique pieces with character and giving them a new place to shine. If I’m not out exploring, I’m most likely at home spending time with my cat, Margaret! I love meeting new people, hearing new stories, and creating a look that makes you feel like your best self. I can’t wait to meet you and have you in my chair!
