Cathy Coulombe
Owner & HairstylistCathy began her career in Massachusetts over 30 years ago as a “shampoo girl”. Tasks grew to include just about everything other than cutting. So years later, after the last of her four children began school, returning to school herself was only natural. Cathy loves the beauty industry, continuing her education at every opportunity. She especially loves multidimensional foiling, and working with natural, curly hair. By opening Tranquility, her hope from the beginning was to create a comfortable setting for an unforgettable experience. As a business owner downtown, she is a member of the Exeter Area Chamber, HERON, and the Exeter Rotary. When not in the salon, she can often be found doing volunteer work within the Exeter community. And when time allows, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Wayne, or just reading, usually with a dog by her side. Cathy is currently not taking on any new hair clients.
Tess Peterson
Salon Manager, Senior Stylist & ManicuristTess is a multi-faceted cosmetologist, performing services related to hair care, nail care, and waxing. While she enjoys practicing all elements of her craft, her creativity and consistency in her work help her specialize in transformational, dramatic cutting and coloring, as well as gorgeous wedding hairstyles. She’s always enjoyed being innovative, considering hairstyling and coloring to be an art form—finding joy in new shapes, curly hairstyling, foil placement and vivid colors. While it’s a great way to express herself, she strives to inspire her clients to express themselves too. Her focus is always on an individual client’s life and style, but at the end of the day, its all about making people feel beautiful and more confident in themselves. Tess stays up to date on the latest trends with continuing education, and her time at Tranquility has brought her new responsibilities in salon management. When not at work, she enjoys spending time with loved ones, caring for animals, and painting & drawing, when time allows.
