We are a Certified Green Circle Salon. This allows us keep 95% of discardable materials out of the waste-stream. This includes, but is not limited to, wax strips, foils and color, even PPE. Your hair trimmings are made into oil-collecting booms to help clean up spills in the ocean. It also allows us to run a trade-in system for empty aerosol cans. The small GCS fee helps to ensure we keep doing our part for the planet.

Angie
$150/hr
Director of Everything and Sometimes Level Seven Stylist
With more than 25 years in, Angie has been around the block of hairdressing. Starting in 1997, she began in a mall salon (also as a cutting educator) for seven years, then took her business to her home for a few more. The opportunity for the current space came out of nowhere and here we are more than fourteen years later.
Angie is behind the chair on a part-time basis as there is plenty to keep her busy otherwise. With a grade school aged son, a home to care for, a business to grow and team members to coach, there isn't a lot time left to do hair! She is our resident curly hair expert.
She enjoys gardening and houseplants, spending time with her son and family, making plans for the salon (can you say workaholic?!), crafting, decor, house music and listening to audio books.
