Jana Myers and Jen Liles with ViVo Salon

Lori Hill, ViVo Salon's original owner, opened the first location in 2006 alongside Jana Myers and Jen Liles. Their goal was to create a welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable—surrounded by friends who uplift and inspire them. Myers and Liles say they bring different sets of skills and lessons learned that allow them to mesh perfectly. “We push each other constantly while maintaining that high level of respect for the other’s viewpoints and ways of working,” Liles says.

In 2016, Myers and Liles relocated ViVo to the Brentwood Center (2718 S. Glenstone Ave., Springfield, MO, 417-882-4658) for a more convenient commute for 417-land clients and increased daily foot traffic. They both love being business owners in Springfield because it gives them a sense of pride. “Our ViVo community isn’t just a roster of clients,” Myers says. “They are longtime friends whose stories and experiences have become a part of our daily lives at ViVo.”
