Alanah Kenyon
About Our Owner
With over 15 years in the beauty industry across Washington, Oregon, and now Arizona, my journey has taken me from an uncertain start to becoming a passionate hairstylist, salon owner, and educator.
Though I didn’t initially set out to be a hairstylist, my entrepreneurial drive led me to a career that blends creativity with the power to boost self-esteem. Now, after a decade behind the chair, I’m taking the next step—opening my own commission salon.
My passion lies in elevating the industry through education and mentorship. I’ve coached stylists and salon owners on business strategy and financial independence, and I’m excited to bring that same support to my own team.
At the heart of my philosophy is the belief that authentic relationships build successful businesses. I’m committed to fostering a supportive environment where stylists can thrive creatively while benefiting from a structured yet flexible commission model.
I’m dedicated to challenging abusive industry practices such as employee misclassification, lack of support, and limited financial growth. A profitable salon should ensure financial success for its stylists, too.
My goal is to create a salon where stylists grow, thrive, and build lasting relationships—with the salon, their clients, and their peers. By empowering individuals, enhancing their skills, and fostering community, I believe we can elevate the beauty industry as a whole.
