who we are
Sarah Bustamento
owner & stylist
I’m Sarah, I’m a Colorado native that has been doing hair since 2008. I’ve worked my way through the industry as an assistant, a stylist, a master stylist, and now a salon OWNER! Ahhh, I like the way that sounds.
​
Learning motivates me so much. I’m always hungry for knowledge. Whether it’s in the form of classes, watching YouTube videos, reading books, or even Pinterest. I’m constantly pushing myself to learn and develop as a stylist. I’m also motivated by being the one doing the teaching, whether that’s showing my friends in the industry a new technique or teaching a client a new tip with their hair.
My most FAVORITE thing about the industry is my connection with my clients. Sharing the many moments of life with my clients is something I cherish. Whether it’s me sharing something going on with me or whether I’m offering a listening ear to something happening in their life. I truly try to create a personal friendship with all of my clients.
When I’m not working you can find me hanging out with my main man, Craig, and our cute, bossy little schnauzer poodle Luna. Those two bring so much joy, calm, and love into my life. I couldn’t be more thankful for them. You can also find me on the leaderboard of my Peloton or at the gym. Working out helps me relax my mind, while also doing something that makes me feel like a total badass! In addition to those two special things, food is life, nature has my heart always, consistent meditation is a goal, as is reading, lastly the bravo obsession is becoming a serious problem.
Fun info about me, I don’t take myself too seriously, being goofy is my nature. While in my chair you can expect some great music, chocolates, a yummy beverage, and maybe an occasional curse. (I’m sorry in advance.)
If you’re an existing client scoping out the website, welcome to our new home, can’t wait for you to see it.
If you’re a new client checking out what I’m all about, welcome! I hope my space is somewhere you can call home. I can’t wait to hear about your hair dreams!

With 15 years behind the chair, I bring a blend of experience, creativity, and genuine connection to every client I work with. Having styled in both Denver and Orange County, I’ve developed a signature approach centered around effortless, lived-in, dimensional color, customized to enhance each client’s natural beauty while fitting seamlessly into their lifestyle. Blonding is a true passion of mine, and I take pride in creating bright, dimensional blondes that feel modern, and uniquely tailored to each guest.
I believe great hair goes beyond the final result. It’s not only about how you feel in the chair but also long after you leave.
Building trust and meaningful relationships with my clients is at the heart of what I do, and I strive to create a welcoming, comfortable space where you feel heard, understood, and confident.
Outside of the salon, I’m a wife and mother. I cherish time spent with my family. In my free time, I enjoy getting lost in a good book, discovering new restaurants, and unwinding with my favorite reality shows. Always drawing inspiration from moments of connection, creativity, and balance.

They say your hairstylist knows more about you than your therapist, and honestly? I’m totally okay with that. I’ve spent the last five years perfecting the art of the “great hair day,” but my real secret weapon is the chair itself. My goal is for you to walk in, kick off your mental shoes, and feel completely at home. I take the precision of your cut and color seriously so you can simply relax and enjoy the transformation.
I’m a firm believer that the best results happen when we really connect, and luckily, I can talk about almost anything while I work. Whether you want to deep-dive into Star Wars lore, share your latest craft, or talk about a book you’re reading, I’m your person.
When I’m not at the salon, you can usually find me hunting for a new houseplant to add to my slightly overgrown indoor jungle, buying way too many eyeshadow palettes, or watching Alabama football in the fall, Roll Tide!

Ultimately, I want my station to be a tiny sanctuary where you can exhale, be yourself, and leave feeling like a refreshed, shinier version of yourself. Come in, relax, and let’s make some hair magic happen.
