Shape, Color, & Alchemy
The Artist
With more than a decade behind the chair, I approach hair as both an art and an energetic exchange. My work blends lived-in color and dimensional blonding with vibrant pops of color, intentional cutting, and creative self-expression. I believe the salon chair can be a space for connection and transformation, and I'm increasingly drawn to the intersection of beauty, wellness, and energy work. As a former salon owner and mentor, I value collaboration, continued growth, and creating an environment where both guests and artists feel supported and inspired

Sara is great to work with. She knows exactly how to treat my hair, which has baffled other stylists for my entire life. Sara is willing to experiment with colors, using her vast knowledge and talent to come up with exactly the right shades.
