Custom Spray Tan

Hello! I have been a part of the Just Cuz Beauty team for two years now! I joined our team as a receptionist, and shortly after decided to specialize in custom spray tanning. In addition to these roles, I also manage the salon, so I look forward to seeing all of your friendly faces when you visit our salon, and will be readily available to help you with anything you may need! When I’m not at the salon, my time is spent with my children, friends & family. Some of the things you can always find me enjoying with them are:  being outside, riding dirt bikes and spending as much time as possible on the St Croix River. I look forward to seeing you at Just Cuz soon!

Hair Stylist 

Jamie Gingras

It’s always been a passion of mine to help bring out the beauty in people. Getting to know you as an individual and creating style that matches your personality is why I enjoy this field. I started in the salon in 2002 and worked with amazing and talented stylists, while achieving a passion for what I love. During that time I became a mother, so naturally I took a step back from the salon and focused on raising my two amazing children. Naturally, I never stepped away from what I love doing. The  decision to pursue my passion is greater than ever and I’m enthusiastic to bring my talents back into the salon.

Makeup Artist

Elisabeth Olsen

Hi, I’m Elisabeth! When I was younger, I was involved in dance, theater, and modeling. As a result, I learned to do many different types of makeup and found I had a knack for it. It became a passion of mine to learn more about different skin care and make up trends and techniques, especially as I got older and my routines had to shift due to maturing skin. After receiving some professional training, I eventually settled into my own personal style. I specialize in soft glam and natural “no-makeup” looks, but I am happy to accommodate all styles and visions. I want the entire process to feel very pampering and confidence-boosting. I believe all faces are beautiful - makeup simply enhances what’s already there. Let me help you shine!
