Whitney Roush- Owner, Esthetician, Nail Technician, Bridal Makeup Artist
Contact Whitney: 319-313-4727
I am thrilled to personally welcome you to Acacia Salon & Spa! As the proud owner and a seasoned professional, I opened our doors at the age of 20 in 2018, driven by the vision to create a small boutique atmosphere. Our aim is to provide clients with the luxuries of a high-end salon experience in a comfortable and non-judgmental environment.
With a foundation rooted in dedication and early experience, I embarked on my journey in the beauty industry at the age of 16 as a bridal makeup artist intern. This early passion led me to pursue formal training at Capri College immediately after completing high school, where I earned my Esthetician and Nail Technician Licenses in August of 2017.
Beyond the salon, I cherish time with my husband, Tyler, our dogs, Grizz, Dolly, and Ginny, and our backyard chickens! I enjoy baking sourdough, indulging in reality TV and Hallmark movies, thrifting, and relaxing outdoors; I find joy in life's simple pleasures.
