A Small Team by Design
Your Stylists at Solvi
We keep our team small on purpose. When you sit in our chair, you get our full attention. No bouncing between clients. No rushed appointments. Just focused, thoughtful work from stylists who genuinely love what they do. Every person on our team was chosen for their skill, their consistency, and their commitment to making you feel completely taken care of.
Meet the Team
The stylists behind every great color, cut, and bridal morning at Solvi Salon in downtown Boise.
Solvi Salon was built around a simple idea: every client deserves a stylist who actually listens. Not a revolving door of appointments. Not a rushed consultation. Not a one-size-fits-all approach to color or extensions.
We are a small, intentional team in Boise, Idaho. Small on purpose. That means we have the time and space to do our best work on every single guest. Whether you are coming in for a full balayage transformation, refreshing your color, getting your first set of hand-tied extensions, or planning bridal hair and makeup for your wedding day, you will always get our full attention.
Our studio sits in the heart of downtown Boise, and we are proud to serve clients from across the Treasure Valley, including Eagle, Meridian, Nampa, Star, Caldwell, and beyond. We believe great hair starts with a real conversation, a solid plan, and a stylist who genuinely cares about getting it right.
Autumn Schiess
Owner & Lead Stylist
Autumn opened Solvi Salon because she believed Boise deserved something different. After 18 plus years working behind the chair across the Treasure Valley, she knew exactly what kind of experience she wanted to create. Not louder. Not faster. Just better.
She saw too many talented stylists burning out from back-to-back bookings and too many clients feeling like they were on a conveyor belt. So she built a salon that puts quality first. Every appointment gets the time it needs. Every client gets a stylist who is fully present and fully invested in the outcome.
Autumn specializes in lived-in balayage, dimensional color, hand-tied extensions, and bridal hair and makeup for Treasure Valley weddings. Her work is known for being natural, seamless, and beautifully low maintenance. She is honest about what will work for your hair, detail oriented in her technique, and consistent in her results. If you have been searching for a Boise color and extension specialist who takes the time to get it right, Autumn is the stylist you want in your corner.
When she is not behind the chair, Autumn is building systems to make the salon run smoother and mentoring upcoming stylists. She cares deeply about creating a space where stylists can grow, do meaningful work, and build real careers without sacrificing their well being.
Mele
Stylist & Bridal & Event Specialist
Mele brings a calm, detail focused approach to every appointment. Her behind the chair menu covers custom color, precision cuts, and men's cuts, with a growing focus on hand tied extensions as she continues to build that side of her skill set within the Solvi team.
Her specialty is event hair and makeup. Thoughtful, polished looks designed to hold up beautifully in real life and on camera. From weddings to bridal portraits to special events, Mele is known for creating a seamless, low stress experience whether you are getting ready in our downtown Boise studio or on location at your venue.
If you are planning a wedding or event in the Boise area, Mele is the stylist running point on trials, wedding morning hair and makeup, and on-location bridal logistics throughout the Treasure Valley.
Kenzie
Stylist · Color & Extensions
Kenzie focuses on modern, dimensional color, especially blonding and lived-in looks that grow out effortlessly. Her work is clean, intentional, and designed to feel like you, just refined.
She offers custom color, precision cutting, and extensions, and is expanding into bridal hair and makeup with the Solvi team. Kenzie is a great match for clients who want an elevated look that still feels easy to maintain long after they leave the chair.
