I appreciated the time she took on my hair, you can really tell she has been doing this for years. She did not rush it and made sure I left with what I wanted. Would recommend to anyone, she is very good with blondes!

If you are looking for an AMAZING hair color specialist and stylist for 2026, LOOK NO FURTHER!…read more Shasta can FIX your hair color AND keep it healthy (and those two things do not always go together)! I have now sat in Shasta's chair twice -- she is pleasant, knowledgeable, and knows how to color hair (especially if you're in your 40's and still want beautiful blonde hair like me!). She artfully eliminates any brassy tones and will hand paint the blonde where you need it. Through the balayage technique she has added beautiful depth with multiple shades of blonde and I could not be happier. Thank you Shasta!
