MEET THE TEAMOur Stylists
Shandrica White
I'm Shandrica, the proud lead stylist and owner of Cultivate. It's an absolute pleasure to have you here!
As a lifelong resident of Maple Valley, I've been honored to serve this community as a hair stylist since 2008. I am truly blessed to have found a profession that brings me such immense joy and fulfillment day in and day out.
In addition to being a passionate stylist, I wear many other hats – I'm a devoted mother, a loving wife, and a dedicated mentor to aspiring hair artists. My loyal clientele has been with me for years, and I'm humbled by the trust they've placed in me. While my schedule is full, I always strive to make room for new guests, as I cherish the opportunity to connect with and uplift even more individuals through the transformative power of hair.
At the heart of my craft lies a deep connection with my clients. I take great pride in truly understanding each person's unique needs and aspirations, and then translating that into hairstyles that boost their confidence and help them feel their absolute best. However, if I had to name a close second passion, it would be my love for hair extensions. There's nothing quite like the magic of adding length, volume, and dimension to someone's hair, unlocking their dream hair in the process.
I'm so excited to have you join the Cultivate family. Get ready to embark on a truly personalized hair journey that will leave you feeling beautiful, empowered, and ready to take on the world!

Leah
Hi! I’m Leah!
I was born at Langley Airforce Base in Virginia and come from a family of 8! As a military family we moved around a lot but landed in Puyallup WA. Growing up, when I wasn’t playing soccer, I enjoyed drawing and painting. When I’m not behind the chair I enjoy spending time with family and friends or going out to new restaurants and catching a concert or comedy show!
I’ve been a hair stylist for 4 years and it’s all about connection for me. It’s important that my clients feel valued, heard and understood when they’re in my chair. Blonding and extensions are my favorite service to offer but I also am down for anything as long as my clients leave feeling beautiful!

Stephanie
Hi! I’m Stephanie!
Born overseas in the Philippines and then migrating all over the west coast as a military kid, I am a lover of all things nature related. Living in Washington most of my life and currently residing in Puyallup, Wa. My fiancé and I are always down for an adventure with our two pups, Beta and Runa. When I’m not behind the chair, you can catch me hiking, painting or binging that latest Netflix show.
As a stylist of now 16 years I have a constant yearning for education not just for myself but for my clients as well. I truly strive to be honest with everyone who sits in my chair, giving them realistic expectations and also letting them leave feeling their absolute best self, unique to them. I love doing all but enjoy dimensional brunettes, mens cuts and creating custom colors fit for my clients.
Alexia
Stylist
Hi! I’m Alexia!
I grew up in Arizona and recently made my way back to North Bend, Washington. As the oldest of six kids, family has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, you could usually find me down by the barn riding my horse and spending weekends barrel racing. When I’m not at the salon, I love spending time with my family, trying out new coffee stands, or getting outside for a hike with my dog.
I recently graduated from cosmetology school and have had the privilege of learning alongside the amazing stylists at Cultivate. I love the relationships built behind the chair and the constant growth this career offers. My favorite services are blonding and styling, but above all, my goal is to help clients feel beautiful and supported every time they sit in my chair!
Ariana
Hi, I'm Ariana!
A little about me, I was born and raised in federal way, Washington! I was raised in a Slavic household, and speak Ukrainian, and Russian! When I’m not behind the chair I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, trying new food places, traveling and serving in my church. I graduated from the summit salon academy in May 2024. Since graduating, I have been mentored by Shandrica and started growing my clientele at Cultivate. I am passionate about low maintenance blondes and brunettes but am always excited to take on something new! I would love to see you in my chair soon!

Gianna
Stylist
Hi, I’m Gianna!
I was born and raised right here in Western Washington and have spent nearly my entire life in this area. I attended beauty school in Ellensburg, Washington, and obtained my cosmetology license in April 2026. Since then, I’ve been working alongside Shandrica, continuing to grow and develop my skills behind the chair. Outside of the salon, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and hanging out with my 13 year old cat!
I’m passionate about learning, growing, and perfecting my craft while making every person who sits in my chair feel valued, heard, and beautiful. I love building meaningful connections with my clients and helping them feel confident in their own beauty. I’m so excited to continue growing alongside the Cultivate team and can’t wait to meet you!
Hi, I’m Karina!
I’m from Washington—born and raised! I’m a mama to two incredible kiddos. I love to bake, plan parties (I’ve always dreamed of having a party planning business!), go to concerts and comedy shows, try new restaurants (major foodie), listen to podcasts and music, and spend time with loved ones and friends. I also truly appreciate a lazy day in the comfiest outfit possible.
I’ve been creating beautiful hair for nearly 17 years, specializing in color for the past 14. I’m a balayage and highlighting specialist, and I love creating rich, dimensional colors. Whether it’s a dramatic transformation or a subtle enhancement, I always take your day-to-day lifestyle and ideal maintenance into consideration.
My goal is to create a color you love not just the day you leave the salon, but every step of the way until your next appointment. I customize color based on your skin tone, eye color, and how you typically style and wear your hair. I take great pride in my work and truly put my heart and time into every guest I have the pleasure of working with.
Building genuine relationships with my guests is incredibly important to me and is a big part of why I love what I do. My goal is always to make sure you leave each appointment feeling beautiful, confident, and cared for.
I feel so blessed to be part of a team of passionate, uplifting women who truly care about their craft and their clients. Thank you for trusting me with your hair—I can’t wait to meet you and spend time with you in my chair!
