Angela Mortensen

Nail Technician

Hi, I’m Angela — nail artist since 1999 and proud salon owner. My journey has been rooted in faith, fueled by passion, and surrounded by loyal clients who have become lifelong friends.

While I’m not accepting new clients, I’m beyond grateful to continue serving the ones who’ve walked this journey with me.

Olivia’s Salon was once just a vision — now it’s living proof that when God plants a dream, He provides the harvest.

Olivia Eastep

Cosmetologist

Hi, I’m Olivia — yes, the salon is named after me. When I was just two years old, my mom had a vision, and today I’m living it out. I have a passion for hair, fashion, and staying ahead of trends. In 2025, I had the incredible honor of being invited to New York Fashion Week.

You can find me in Lincoln behind the chair at Solo Elite Studio.

I graduated from Xenon Academy in Omaha and have spent the last 2 years behind the chair in Omaha, training and growing my passion for all things hair! I grew up in northern South Dakota, where I discovered my love for hair, and made the move to Nebraska to follow my passion.
