About Us
This is what we wish every salon felt like. Because when the relationship works, everything else does too.
Where hair meets heart.
This isn’t just about great hair. It’s about not crying in your car after a haircut, or second-guessing yourself behind the chair.
It’s about the moment when you speak up – and someone knows exactly what to do, so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Establish Salon, we believe the relationship between client and stylist is the most important part of any salon experience. And when that connection is strong, something incredible happens: Confidence grows. Trust builds. Real beauty shows up – inside and out.
For Clients
You’ve probably been there – trying to explain what you wanted, hoping for the best…and then smiling politely even when it wasn’t right. Maybe the tears came later. Maybe they started in the car.
Here’s the thing: you deserve better. You deserve a stylist who really listens, helps guide you, and knows how to turn your goals into a plan you can actually follow through with at home.
And when things don’t go as planned? We don’t leave you hanging. We advocate with you – to make it right, together.
For Stylists
You became a stylist because you love helping people feel amazing – not because you wanted to spend years feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or like you had to fake your confidence. When you work with us, you’ll learn how to build something beautiful behind the chair – so you can show up like a pro at every stage of your career and focus on what you do best: taking care of clients.
No guessing. No doing it alone. And no gatekeeping what it means to succeed.
When It Works
Hi, we’re sisters and business partners – not stylists! We started Establish Salon because we saw how much could go wrong when the stylist-client connection falls apart (or was never there to begin with). But we also saw what’s possible when it works.
Meet Nadia, our technical director. She joined us just starting out, and over the last 10 years, we’ve grown together. Because she trusted we had her best interest at heart, she was able to take bold steps, learn deeply, and care for her clients the way they deserve to be cared for.
Now, she leads and inspires the next generation of stylists in the sale way – with honesty, skill, and heart.
You Belong Here
Whether you’re sitting in the chair or standing behind it – you’ve found the gold mine. We’re here so you can feel confident, cared for, and part of a community that’s in it with you so you’ll never have to cry alone again. This is the kind of salon we’re building every day – and we’re so glad you found us.
Come for the hair. Stay for the heart.
