Meet the Team

Tonya Brooks

Owner/Stylist

Born and raised on a farm, Tonya learned the value of hard work early in life — and that dedication has shaped the way Tonya runs Trio SalonSpa and cares for her clients. As a single mom and passionate hairstylist, Tonya pours her heart into both her family and her work.

Graduating from La’James, Mason City in 2006. Tonya has not stopped there when it comes to her education. She continues to make education an important part of the job and enjoys classes and traveling for them.

Tonya believes that great hair can change not just your look, but your confidence. Whether you’re here for a fresh cut, a bold color, or just a little self-care, Tonya is here to help you feel your absolute best.

Welcome to Tonya’s chair — we’re so glad you’re here..

Caity Schotter

Stylist

Caity has been with Trio since day one, bringing her passion and talent to every guest she serves. A 2011 graduate of the College of Hair Design, she has continued to sharpen her skills through advanced education, always staying at the forefront of trends and techniques.

While Caity specializes in color, she takes pride in all aspects of her craft — ensuring every client leaves her chair feeling confident, refreshed, and truly seen. Her meticulous attention to detail and personalized approach make her work stand out.

Beyond the salon, Caity is the creative mind behind Trio’s social media. With her sharp eye for style and storytelling, she keeps our online community inspired and connected.

Caity values family and you’ll know as soon as you’re in her chair how much family means to her. Allow Caity to welcome you into the Trio Family, we’re glad you’re here.
