Our Services

Hi my name is Kari

I am proud to call this space home! I have over 20 years experience in the hair industry-including my first 10 years working with high end clients in Orange County. The second half of my career has been here in beautiful Salem so that my husband and I could raise our two kids closer to family and with a little slower pace in life.

I strongly believe it’s more than just great hair, I love the conversations and connections I build with my clients. My goal is to help you feel confident and beautiful in a way that fits your personality and lifestyle.

I provide a luxury experience in a comfortable, laid back setting, where youll never feel rushed. Every appointment is personal, relaxed and all about making you feel and look your best.

Her space is cozy, charming, and welcoming-like visiting a friend. She truly listens to what I want and gives the most relaxing scalp massages. Every visit is a treat, and i always leave feeling highly refreshed and beautiful. Highly recommend!”

“ I’ve never felt more confident walking out of a salon than I do after seeing Kari. Her eye for detail is incredible, and she truly understands what works best for your hair and personal style. She is always up to date with the latest trends and techniques, and her toning skills are second to none. After 7 years with Kari, what stands out the most is how well she listens-she really hears what you want and gets it right the first time, every time. Effecient, talented, and consistently amazing-Kari is hands down the best in the buisness.”
