Staff Pick: ANNIE - SOUTHDALE

Annie has worked as a prom stylist at Mestads Southdale location for about a year. She is a senior at a local high school and is looking at colleges for the fall. She loves basketball, shopping, spending time with friends, drawing, cooking, and she was a dancer for 14 years!

Annie loves seeing the customer’s face when they have on “the dress” and they know it’s the one.

Annie staff pick is Sherri Hill 2835. She loves the trendy “carwash” style skirt, the sparkly paillette sequins, and the fact that this dress usually doesn’t need hemming. Since Annie is petite, she knows that hemming can be expensive and this style is perfect to avoid that added cost.

Staff Pick: KARINA - ST. CLOUD

Karina works as a Prom Stylist at Mestads St. Cloud location, and this is her first year selling prom dresses! She hails from Prescott, WI, and is a junior at St. Cloud State majoring in public relations.

Karina is the lead singer in a band called The Lotus Goodnight, and she also plays ukulele and guitar. She enjoys the outdoors: hiking, climbing, kayaking, camping, and anything else you can think of!

Karina’s staff pick is Sherri Hill 8439. She loves the unique AB rhinestones across the bodice, the sparkle of the sequins, and the flowy high low hem!

Staff Pick: KAYLA - SOUTHDALE

Kayla has been with Mestads for a year, working as a Prom Stylist in Rochester during the 2011 prom season, and is currently working as a Prom Stylist at Mestads Southdale location in Edina. Kayla is a freshman at Normandale, majoring in communications with a focus on public relations. Kayla’s hobbies include ballroom dancing and eating ice cream.

This past November Kayla went to Kuwait to visit and perform for the troops. She had a great time and loved having the opportunity to see another part of the world, and to support our troops!

Kayla loves selling prom dresses because she gets to help each girl leave Mestads with the dress of their dreams! Her current favorite (You’ll have to ask her again next week!) is Vienna Prom style C1709. She thinks it’s tough to choose a favorite, but loves this one because it is similar to her prom dress from last year and loves how it’s short in the front and still elegant because it’s long in the back. She also loves tiger print!
