At 111 N. 1st Ave in Sandpoint, Idaho, Style Bar Beauty Bar stands as a beacon of beauty and wellness. This unique establishment has transformed the salon and spa experience in North Idaho. Leading this innovative beauty bar is Sarah Merli, a Bonner County native who has journeyed from the small-town charm of Idaho to the vibrant beauty industry of Southern California and back, embodying a passion for excellence.
Sarah's journey began in Bonner County, but after high school, her ambitions led her to Southern California, where she studied fashion merchandising. However, her true calling became evident as she immersed herself in the beauty industry. Joining her family's chain of hair salons in Orange County, Sarah spent 16 years refining her craft in the fast-paced world of Southern California beauty, mastering everything from hair extensions and color services to advanced hairstyling techniques.
In 2014, after returning to Idaho with a wealth of experience and a groundbreaking concept for the area: a blow dry bar. The first-ever blow dry bar in the state was launched in Coeur d’Alene, which Sarah later sold to one of her stylists. Two years later, Sarah opened Style Bar Beauty Bar here in Sandpoint. “I saw an opportunity to bring something fresh and exciting to Idaho,” she says. “The response from the community was incredible, and it confirmed that I was on the right path.”
Style Bar Beauty Bar is much more than just a blow dry bar. It was envisioned as a full-service beauty and wellness destination, offering expert hair services, advanced aesthetics, massage therapy, and waxing—all under one roof. This approach provides clients with a comprehensive self-care experience, leaving them feeling both beautiful and rejuvenated.
Style Bar’s commitment to excellence is evident in the professionalism and expertise of their team. Prioritizing education and continuous training, ensuring that every service, from hair extensions to skincare, is performed by a true expert. The dedication extends beyond technical skills; Style Bar values the relationships built with clients and the community, fostering an environment where trust and personal growth thrive. “For me, it’s not just about offering services; it’s about creating a space where people feel valued and cared for,” Sarah explains.
Style Bar Beauty Bar provides exceptional services and offers a curated selection of retail products, including Kevin Murphy hair products and Epionce skincare, enabling clients to maintain their beauty routines with professional-grade tools at home. Style Bar’s dedication to the community extends beyond the salon walls, as they strongly believe in giving back. Style Bar actively supports local sports teams, schools, and nonprofit organizations, reflecting a philosophy deeply woven into the fabric of the business.
As Style Bar Beauty Bar continues to grow, Sarah’s team remains committed to bringing the latest trends and techniques to North Idaho while maintaining the trust and community spirit that define their success.
