Mindy Ladner, owner/stylist
Hi, I’m Mindy, and have been a stylist for 16 years. My husband and I became owners of Accents Salon and Day Spa 10 years ago and what a blessing it has been. I love coming to work each day and am humbled that my amazing clients give me the opportunity to be a part of their day. It is such a privilege to work along side our hardworking and talented team here at Accents.
I am married to my best friend and together we have three amazing boys who keep us on our toes.
My favorite service to provide is color!

Christi Clauser, receptionist
Christi Clauser has been with Accents Salon and Day Spa for 8 years. She is our receptionist and more importantly the glue that holds us all together! Christi is the friendly voice clients hear over the phone and the smiling face greeting them as they enter. We hit the jackpot when it comes to receptionists and would be lost without her!!
Christi has 3 kids and 6 grandkids. She enjoys cooking and spending time with her family.
Alisha Bowar , stylist
My favorite salon service to provide is a complete transition of hair color and style. Products are huge with these services. Keeping the integrity of each clients hair is key to gaining their trust.

I have been doing hair for 14 years now and love being a stylist! (This is credited to my amazing work family and clients!) I love being a mom, spending time with family and friends, spending time with my dog Tika, working out, and traveling.
Anything with color!

Mindy Ward, stylist
Nails are my favorite service to perform. I feel like it is the best way to express my creativity.
NOTE: Updos are definitely not my forte so I would have to say zero! I’ll stick with what I know I am good at.

Sonya Donovan, stylist
My name is Sonya Donovan. I was born and raised in Spearfish SD. I have two beautiful girls and an amazing husband. My hobbies are sketching, water coloring, and hopefully someday woodworking.
I have been a hairstylist for over 20 years. The last eight years have been with the most inspiring team of women at Accents Salon and Day Spa. I love it!
I am a firm believer in continuing education and because of it, I have mastered the art of haircutting. One of my favorite services to provide is blow drying because it is the main step in the reveal of my masterpiece!
I have one of the very few jobs out there that pays you to make people feel good, not only about how they look on the outside, but most importantly how they feel on the inside. The reward is it makes me feel good and for that I am grateful!
Haircuts are my favorite

Rhy Schleuning, stylist
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends exploring new places or trying new things. I love getting to know new people and learning/hearing about their experiences in life – along with making them feel wonderful! I’ve been doing hair for almost 3 years, and have been amazingly blessed in this industry. Couldn’t ask for a better place to be.
I’ve always enjoyed doing perms and updo styles!
NOTE: 20 pins on the floor!

Happy Clients
“We had a spa day at Accents Salon in Spearfish,SD! The Husband and I (which by the way he’s not usually interested in going along). He changed his mind after this experience! He had an amazing massage and a great pedicure from Mahri at the salon. Mahri, of course, had her work cut out for her! Men don’t realize that a pedicure can be relaxing and also healthy maintenance!! The massage was also a great addition to our day. As for me, I had Mindy, the owner, for a color and cut and eyebrow waxing. I also had an appointment with Mahri for a pedicure, and for the first time Microderm facial! The facial was extremely detailed and was a very relaxing experience! The Microderm part of the facial is to gently sand your skin and help your complexion . This was a very nice experience! We had a great day at the salon and spa! If you haven’t been there, do take time to stop! They have a great little gift shop too! Christmas decorations, fun products, and Myra bags . This is a hidden treasure!

“Accents is THE salon and day spa in the area. The stylists are professional and create a fun and relaxing environment in a beautiful, modern setting. I love having all the services I need in one place. They even have clothing, handbags and a gift shop where I can check off other errands while my hair is processing! Sonya cuts and colors hair better than anyone at more expensive salons in the larger cities where I once lived. Highly recommend Accents!“

“I have been going to Accents for over 8 years. The owner and beauticians are very, very friendly. If you need a place to go, relax and leave feeling beautiful- this is the place.
The receptionist is extremely helpful in making appointments and keeping clients informed.
They also have a unique gift shop to stroll in after your appointment.”
