As both a stylist and salon owner, I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, inclusive space where every client feels seen, heard, and confident in their look. My approach is detail-oriented and education-driven: I take the time to teach each client how to care for and style their hair at home, so the results last far beyond the salon. But more than anything, what I love most about my work is the trust and connection I build with each person who sits in my chair. I look forward to helping you love your hair—and the experience that comes with it. https://www.opalhairstudioec.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6087285ce9b38055b2db9f3c/1619817992621-T459TR00496JGABCZLQQ/6D9D5C10-6D80-4568-AB96-13E7521180FC.jpg Gallery Smooth shoulder length red brown hair color with subtle layers and shine.
