Our Stylists

Lora Boehm, owner:
After studing drama at the Hollywood High magnet program for the performing arts, Lora graduated in 1994 from San Jose City College with a degree in Cosmetology after being on the President’s and Dean’s lists all three semesters. She assisted for about 10 minutes, then went to work for Hubert Braun in Cupertino, California; the The Hairshapers Club in Milpitas; then Carlton Hair in the Burbank Media City Center. After that Lora worked at the Fox & the Hair in Monrovia before moving on to The Big Tease. She originally wanted to be a sign language interpreter for the deaf, but being dyslexic and a terrible speller, her finger spelling would have driven the deaf to kill her, so she turned to hair. Lora’s specialties are long hair, color correction, and updos.

Kelly Dorl:
Kelly grew up on the north side of Chicago in a neighborhood known as Lakeview. After attending Pivot Point International Beauty Academy in Chicago from September 1992 through April 1994, she was employed at a prestigious downtown Chicago salon named Trio, where she spent the next six months as a color apprentice studying different techniques of color application, color correction, individualized color creations for clients, perms, relaxers, anything to do with color and chemical services.

Around Thanksgiving 1997 Kelly moved to Los Angeles, where she furthered her education at Moro Beauty School in Glendale. Kelly has been with The Big Tease since its founding in 2003.
