Our Team

Stacey

Owner/Manager, Certified Mastectomy Fitter, and Licensed Cosmetologist

Starting a small business and becoming an entrepreneur was never a consideration for Stacey after graduating from UW-Green Bay in 1998. Rather, once she graduated with her Bachelor of Arts, emphasis in technical theater, Stacey took on additional studies at WI College of Cosmetology to become a licensed Cosmetologist. With those two degrees in hand and membership in I.A.T.S.E. (Professional Stagehand Union) she toured for six years, nationally and internationally and worked locally, on a variety of Broadway tours and Vocal Music Group productions working on hair, wigs, makeup and costuming. The highlight of those tours was being able to travel alongside her husband, Dean.

In 2005, Dean was offered a job for a Theatrical Lighting and Sound company in Green Bay, so they put their suitcases aside and took a break from touring.

By 2006, Stacey discovered a hidden desire, a desire to help members of the local community find comfort in their journey through the devastation of hair-loss. The key was not her knowledge of hair or wigs but the experience she always discovered of becoming a family in each of her job experiences. She enrolled in Urban Hope’s entrepreneurial classes to help her learn and understand the scope of business creation and ownership.

In March of 2007, her concept of a wig salon, dedicated to helping women undergoing hair-loss for medical necessity, started to take shape. Nell’s Wigs took off by word of mouth. After a few years, Stacey saw the need to expand her services to offer garments and prosthesis for those who have undergone breast related surgeries. 2011 marked another set of milestones. Stacey went back to Urban Hope’s E-Hub Program, to design a business plan that integrated her passion with her vision. The UW-Green Bay-Small Business Development Center (SBCD) helped Stacey tremendously in bringing her business vision another step closer to completion. This all led to a Business Plan Grant for Stacey that supported the design of Nell’s Wigs and Boutique. That November, her vision became a reality. Stacey continues to utilize both E-Hub and UW-Green Bay’s SBDC’s resources to help her through some challenging business obstacles, including becoming Medicare Accredited, which has now been running successfully since 2013.

Since opening Nell’s, Stacey has been recognized within the community in a variety of local newspapers and magazines, and though the UW-Green Bay Alumni Association and SBDC. She was awarded the Community Impact Award from E-Hub, was chosen to be a part of the top 100 Small Businesses in Deluxe Corporation’s “Small Business Revolution” campaign, and in 2017, received the Distinguished Alumni Award from UW-Green Bay. The success of Nell’s continues to fuel Stacey’s passion for serving members of the greater Green Bay Community.

Today, outside of work, Stacey enjoys traveling and being with Dean and their son. In 2016, Stacey joined the board of directors for The Ribbon of Hope Foundation, a local Breast Cancer organization where 97¢ out of each $1 donated is granted back to help those diagnosed with breast cancer in Brown and Kewaunee Co. Stacey continues to share her passions, her expertise and her dedication to her community in meaningful ways. Currently, you will find Stacey and her husband using their theatrical background at GB East’s Fine Arts Production and programs, where they help to educate students with a variety of performance technical aspects. During the summer, Stacey will be working and designing for Next Stage Productions family that brings together performers and crew members from high schools throughout the Northeast Wisconsin region in a collaborative learning environment.

 

Samantha

Samantha

Manager and Licensed Cosmetologist

Samantha is a 2005 Cosmetology Science graduate of the Aveda Institute Minneapolis. She worked in various salons before leading her to meeting Stacey and joining the team at Nell’s in 2011. “I am so happy to be a part of the team at Nell’s, being able to help women going through hair loss is a great reward.” Samantha has family and close friends who have gone through hair loss and feels grateful to be able to help others faced with the same situation. “I love to see the ease on my guests face when they find that perfect wig as well as the laughter when one looks completely different. It is wonderful hearing the guests say that this experience was easier than they thought it would be.”

Samantha has attended various wig seminars, “Education is important to me, product is always evolving and I am committed to finding what will work best for our guests.”

Lorie

Lorie

Administrative Assistant

Lorie joined the Nell’s team as an administrative assistant in Dec of 2021 when she and her husband moved back to Green Bay after living in the Minneapolis area for over 30 years. During those years, Lorie sang and performed with big bands and symphony orchestras all over the US and Canada with the vocal quintet Five By Design. It was during the early 2000’s that Stacey toured with the group, designing and creating intricate and beautiful 40’s and 50’s hairstyles (plus many other things) and a long and special friendship began. Flash forward and I am now working with her again, this time, for her and her wonderful company. It’s such personal and caring work they do here, and they do it so well.  I could not be prouder to now call myself a “Nell’s Girl”!

Donna

Billing Coordinator and Compliance Manager

Donna joined the team at Nell’s in May of 2013. She is dedicated, to all our guests who bill their insurance with us, in providing a clean claim allowing them a peace of mind that all things will be attended to. As Compliance Manager, she keeps the ladies of the shop in alignment with all the information necessary about Medicare, Medicaid, and all the insurances. Although you may not encounter her on a regular basis, she is working behind the scenes helping as needed, and is our resident seamstress for any alterations in the shop.

She is very proud when our guests notice the artwork all around Nell’s, as they are created by her daughter, Taylor, of Taylor Made Creations, in Chicago.
