Meet the Stylists Behind Traveling Angels Beauty Salon: A Vision of Expertise and Inclusivity

In the vibrant world of the beauty industry, few partnerships shine as brightly as that of Deanna (Dee) M. Vaughn and Shawn Peters, the creative forces behind Traveling Angels Beauty Salon. Together, they’ve built a mobile salon service that reflects their shared dedication to inclusivity, innovation, and excellence. Combining over 50 years of experience, their collaboration is a testament to the transformative power of passion, mentorship, and a commitment to celebrating beauty in all its forms.

Deanna (Dee) M. Vaughn, founder, technical director, and head stylist of Traveling Angels Beauty Salon, is a master stylist with an impressive 38-year legacy in the industry. Known for her fluidity and expertise across all hair textures and types, Dee has built her reputation on her ability to tailor her techniques to meet the unique needs of each client. “Hair is more than just a service; it’s about connecting with people and helping them feel their best,” she says. Her extensive knowledge and passion for the craft have made her a sought-after stylist and mentor. Dee’s dedication to education and innovation ensures that her clients receive cutting-edge services rooted in timeless techniques.

Shawn Peters, a stylist with a deep respect for tradition and a drive to continually expand his expertise, joined Dee after an illustrious career shaped by his apprenticeship with Saint Louis’s renowned master stylist, Hans Wiemann. Shawn completed a rigorous four-year cosmetology program under Wiemann’s guidance, honing his skills and mastering the art of hairstyling. From 2000 to 2020, Shawn served as the technical director and head stylist at the prestigious Hans Wiemann Salon in Clayton, where he managed a team of 22 stylists and maintained a thriving clientele. After Wiemann’s retirement, Shawn sought to deepen his knowledge and found both a mentor and a lifelong friend in Dee.

Dee and Shawn have now worked side by side, learning from, loving, and enjoying one another for nearly two decades. This bond goes beyond professional collaboration, creating a partnership that exemplifies trust, understanding, and mutual support.

Together, they have cultivated a dynamic duo capable of delivering exceptional services to a diverse clientele. From precision cuts and bold color transformations to textured hair care and protective styles, their expertise spans the full spectrum of the beauty industry. Their combined experience, passion, and dedication make Traveling Angels Beauty Salon a true reflection of their belief that beauty transcends boundaries—and that everyone deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and beautiful.
