Born and raised in California, that sun-kissed, effortless style is in my blood. After spending 4.5 amazing years doing color and extensions in Malibu, I’m now bringing that same laid-back luxury and coastal vibe to my new salon home—and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.
Whether you're all about beachy blondes, craving bold, vibrant color, or you're a brunette beauty wanting to go lighter or stay dark and fierce—I’m here for it. I specialize in custom color that’s designed to enhance your natural features, match your lifestyle, and make you feel like you, but elevated.
Want next-level length or volume that looks and feels like your own? I’m certified in Invisible Bead Extensions®—the game-changing method for flawless, seamless blends that turn heads and keep people guessing. They’re ultra-natural, super comfy, and totally transform the way your hair moves and feels.
I’m here to create a fun, relaxed experience where you feel seen, hyped up, and fully taken care of. My goal? For you to leave my chair glowing with confidence and ready for date night—or just to walk out feeling like the main character that you are.
Let’s make your dream hair become a reality. Come say hi and check out my work on Instagram: @dandoeshairr
