Nicole Timwell
Welcome to Origin Salon, located in the heart of San Andreas, California. I'm Nicole Timewell, founder, stylist, and beauty professional with more than 17+ years of experience creating effortless, personalized beauty for clients throughout the Mother Lode. Since opening Origin Salon in 2018, my vision has been to create a space where exceptional artistry, genuine connection, and personalized care come together.
I believe beautiful hair should feel effortless. My passion is in creating polished, low-maintenance looks that complement my clients features, fit their lifestyle, and inspire confidence. Whether you're seeking dimensional blonding, customized color, precision haircutting, extensions, or permanent makeup, every service is tailored to create results that feel uniquely yours.
Like many of my clients, I understand the balance of family, work, and the desire to feel put together without spending hours getting ready each day. That's why I focus on creating beauty that enhances your life rather than adding to your to-do list.
With advanced education, ongoing training, and years of experience behind the chair, I have built a reputation for natural-looking color, seamless transformations, and results that grow out beautifully. Every appointment begins with understanding your goals, lifestyle, and vision, allowing me to create a personalized experience from start to finish.
What sets my work apart is my belief that great hair starts with understanding the person wearing it. I take the time to listen, collaborate, and create a look that feels authentic to who you are—not simply what's trending. My clients are never treated like a formula; every service is thoughtfully designed around the individual.
When I'm not in the salon, you'll find me spending time with my family and the animals that make our house feel like home. I love being outdoors, whether that's boating, wake surfing, swimming at the lake, or enjoying a quiet walk along the trails. These moments keep me grounded and inspire the balance and creativity I bring to my work.
If you're looking for a salon experience that feels personal, welcoming, and thoughtfully tailored to you, I'd love to meet you. I invite you to book an appointment and experience Origin Salon for yourself.

Amanda Whitmore
Hi, I'm Amanda. With more than 20 years of experience as a massage therapist, I have dedicated my career to helping people feel their best through restorative care and personalized wellness experiences. I believe true well-being begins by taking the time to slow down, reconnect, and care for both body and mind.
I specialize in integrated massage and sports massage, thoughtfully blending techniques to address each guest's unique needs. Whether you're seeking relief from tension, recovering from physical activity, or simply looking for a moment of relaxation, every session is intentionally tailored to promote balance, renewal, and overall well-being. I also offer spa facials designed to restore both skin and spirit, creating an experience that is as rejuvenating as it is relaxing.
What I value most about my work is the opportunity to care for people in a meaningful way. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where every guest feels comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for. My goal is for each person to leave feeling lighter, restored, and better connected to themselves.
When I'm not in the treatment room, you'll often find me enjoying the outdoors with my family, riding quads and dirt bikes, camping, or cheering on my sons from the sidelines of the soccer field. I cherish time spent with family and friends and have a special love for the animals that make our home complete.
It is truly a privilege to be part of my guests' wellness journeys. I look forward to welcoming you into my space and creating an experience that allows you to relax, restore, and feel your very best.

Hi, I'm Brynn! A blonding and hair extension specialist located at Origin Salon in San Andrea CA. I love helping women achieve beautiful, confidence-boosting hair that feels effortless and uniquely their own. Whether you're looking for brighter blonde, added length and fullness, or a complete refresh, my goal is to create customized results that enhance your natural beauty and fit your lifestyle.
I understand that great hair isn't just about how it looks—it's about how it makes you feel. Like many of my guests, I know what it's like to want to feel confident, put together, and beautiful without overcomplicating your daily routine. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin, and I'm passionate about helping my clients achieve that feeling.
Growing up in Calaveras County and spending years involved in sports taught me the value of hard work, discipline, and dedication. Those qualities continue to guide me behind the chair today. I specialize in blonding services and hair extensions and am committed to continually refining my craft through education and advanced training so I can provide the best possible experience and results for every guest.
What sets me apart is the experience I create for the people in my chair. I want every guest to feel welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for from the moment they walk through the door. I love building relationships, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and helping people leave feeling even more confident than when they arrived.
When I'm not at the salon, you'll usually find me spending time with friends and family, shopping, exploring new places, or enjoying anything that involves being near the water. I love making memories, embracing new adventures, and bringing positivity into everything I do.
I feel incredibly grateful to do what I love every day, and I can't wait to welcome you into my chair. Whether you're maintaining your signature blonde, exploring extensions for the first time, or ready for a complete transformation, I'd love to help you create a look that makes you feel confident, beautiful, and completely yourself.

Silvia Edson
Hello! I'm Silvia, a Hairstylist, Permanent Makeup Artist, and Hair Extension Artist. I am
proud to offer my services in both English and Spanish, making every guest feel
comfortable, understood, and welcomed throughout their experience.
For more than 22 years, San Andreas has been my home. My husband and I had the
privilege of owning and operating two local restaurants—Taqueria El Sol and Country
Cliff's Diner—where we not only served great food but also built lasting relationships
within our community. Those years taught me the importance of genuine hospitality,
building trust, and making every guest feel valued.
My passion for beauty began at a young age, but it wasn't until later in life that I
decided to pursue it professionally. I began my journey in Permanent Makeup over
eight years ago and later graduated from cosmetology school to expand my skills and
follow my dream of helping others feel confident through beauty.
Today, I have two years of experience behind the chair at Origin Salon. I truly believe
that education never ends, and I am committed to continually learning, growing, and
refining my skills. My goal is to provide every guest with beautiful, healthy results while
creating an experience that feels relaxed, personalized, and enjoyable.
I especially enjoy creating low-maintenance, personalized hairstyles that complement
your lifestyle and are easy to maintain at home. I believe every appointment begins
with listening. By understanding your goals, inspiration, and daily routine, we can
create a look that feels natural, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
Whether you're visiting for a haircut, color, hair extensions, or permanent makeup, my
goal is for you to feel comfortable, cared for, and confident from the moment you sit in
my chair.
When I'm not behind the chair, you'll usually find me spending time with my family,
tending to my garden, exploring local lakes and nature, cooking, or baking. I enjoy
living a healthy lifestyle and continually learning about holistic wellness and alternative
healing. I believe happiness is often found in life's simple moments, and I truly enjoy
appreciating the little things that make each day meaningful.
I look forward to welcoming you into my chair, listening to your story, and creating a
look that helps you feel confident, comfortable, and beautifully yourself.
