Hi, I’m Olivia!! I have been doing hair for 3 years now and have loved every second of it. I find the most joy in balayage and blondes. I am master certified in Bellami extensions and Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatments. I love seeing my clients confidence skyrocket when I turn them around with a new head of hair (or just covering those greys ;) ). Outside of the salon, I am a wife and mama to my sweet boy. I love traveling with my family, laying out at the pool, and Sunday brunch!!

Stylist
Caryn John
With over 15 years as a stylist I love the variety that everyday brings to me. I don’t have a favorite service to perform or say that I specialize in anything because I love to do it all. I think it’s always important for a client to feel understood and be heard as far as their hair goals, and to also understand the process to achieve them. This is why a thorough consultation is key! I love to keep up on new hair trends and continue my education any chance I can get! Although creating beautiful hair and getting to do what I love all day is great, my favorite part is making the client feel like their best self and to have the confidence to take on whatever is happening in their world!
