Jennifer Winn
Master Stylist
As a stylist for over 14 years, I have seen many trends come and go. I love to help you stay current and make sure you always look your best. I am a busy mom of a toddler and I know how important it is to make time for yourself while having an easy morning routine. During your visit, I will talk to you about your time commitment and budget to customize a style just for you with a clear plan to maintain your style. I love to make each visit feel special and spa-like for you. Every visit you will be treated to a scalp massage, hot towel, and hand massage. If you prefer a more quiet appointment to de-stress, just let me know. No judgment here! If you are ready to block out a little quality time for yourself, let us know if you’d like to reserve your time.

Cheyenne Swinson
Colorist
Hello. I’m Cheyenne, though my friends call me Chey. I've been a stylist for over six years in the Richmond area! I like to be down-to-earth, spiritual, and open-minded. I’m a colorist specializing in dimensional blonding, highlights, and balayage, and my passion for art and people drives me. I’m a perfectionist in the details and love keeping ahead of the trends! I’m a proud mama to two fur babies, and when I’m not behind the chair, I enjoy hiking, thrifting, trying new recipes, listening to good music, and laughing with friends and family. I can’t wait to make you feel beautiful and to connect with you in my chair!
