Shannon is a New Talent. New Talents are licensed hairstylists who have completed at least the first half of our apprenticeship program. They only offer services for which they have been fully trained. 

Bio:

From making her Barbies her very first “clients” to turning a lifelong dream into a career, Shannon has always had a love for hair, creativity, and making people feel amazing.

Originally from Reno, NV, Shannon moved to Portland in 2025 and took the leap from a 17-year career in education into the beauty industry. With two master’s degrees—including an MBA and a Master’s in Elementary Education—she spent years building connections, creating confidence, and helping others shine. Now, she brings that same heart and intentionality behind the chair.

Shannon specializes in custom allover color, lived-in blondes, and balayage, with a love for creating effortless, dimensional looks that feel uniquely you. Her approach is warm, connected, and completely client-centered. She believes every appointment should feel like a personalized experience—not just a trip to the salon.

For Shannon, hair is more than hair. Hair care is self-care. It’s about boosting your confidence, elevating your vibe, and leaving the chair feeling a little more like yourself—or maybe an even better version of yourself. 

When she’s not behind the chair, you can find Shannon at hot yoga, sipping a chai tea latte, diving into true crime, chasing live music at concerts, or dreaming about her next beach day. She’s also a proud mom of two daughters, who happen to be her very best friends. 

She’s equal parts color nerd, people person, educator at heart, and lifelong hair dreamer—and she can’t wait to create something beautiful with you.
