I spent years working in Uptown Dallas operating my own salon boutique in the Design District. When COVID hit, like many of us, I found myself home-bound and wondering what was next. I had been so busy for years going north of Ellis County, I hadn’t noticed the burgeoning culture of the Waxahachie downtown district. As a history fanatic, I took one look at the intriguing Rogers Hotel in all of its historic glory, and I immediately knew I wanted to open a high-end blow-out bar/full service salon. I love bringing a little bit of Dallas to Waxahachie with a glamorous menu of cut, color, styling, braiding, extensions, blow outs, lashes, microblading, permanent makeup, facials, body contouring, waxing, Princess Parties, and more!
The grand opening of our recent expansion was pretty spectacular! We have doubled in size…growing from 1,400 square feet to 3,000 with the help of Chasco Interiors. It was so heart-warming to feel the support of clientele from both Dallas and Ellis County on that memorable day! Many people were simply walking by and popped in to see our “everything pink glam” salon. I was overwhelmed with the pride and joy shown by our incredible team, many of whom have been here throughout all the construction and growing pains. I looked around, humbled and yet confident, at all of them; including the young stylists that I’ve mentored…and I am so very proud of them. It was a day I’ll never forget.
I have been in the hair and beauty industry for more than 25 years. I had the honor of being featured in D Magazine and have received recognition from Modern Luxury Magazine as one of 2016’s “Stylists of the Year.” I have worked Fashion Week in New York and have studied with celebrity stylists. I learned to “perfect my blonde” with over three years of training under “hair guru” Michael Canalé.
