Hi there! I'm a fine hair, scalp health, and hair loss specialist, extension artist, vivid color enthusiast, and makeup artist serving Kalamazoo, Michigan, and the surrounding areas.

As a creative person, I know what it’s like to pour yourself into a project and the need to replenish afterward by letting yourself be taken care of. As a fiercely caring person, I love making people feel better—especially those dealing with scalp issues or hair loss. As a fantasy role-playing nerd, I can listen deeply and support your plans, whether you’re sticking to the path or forging a new one. I’ve designed the experience in my chair to nurture your soul, uplift your spirit, and help you shine.

I’ve been a hairstylist since 2008 and a wedding makeup artist since 2013. Over the years, I’ve grown passionate about helping guests transform their look with extensions, explore bold self-expression through vivid color, and find holistic healing by incorporating energy work into their salon experience. I care deeply for my guests and take mental health very seriously, so don’t hesitate to ask for anything—including a silent appointment. My chair is always a safe, positive, judgment-free space for everyone, regardless of gender expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, body shape, size, or ability.

I love guiding folks to custom solutions for hair loss and scalp disorders—think dandruff, dry scalp, psoriasis, and more. My detailed consultation process includes microscopic photos of your scalp to determine the “root” of the problem. Alongside this, I use intuition and energy work to create a truly personalized experience. And if you’d like, you can even pull a tarot card to reflect on during your service.

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll likely find me at home with my husband, daughter, and dog. We love to travel—especially to historic and spooky places! I’m also an avid reader, cross-stitcher, D&D (and other TTRPG) player, and a lover of all things weird and paranormal.

I look forward to helping you find solutions, confidence, and maybe even a little magic for your hair, scalp, and spirit.

KIND WORDS

Wow! Ann nailed it with my hair color and super fun pixie cut!! I’m so excited to have found her & I can’t wait to try some vivid with her! Super cozy salon, everyone was great. 10/10!!

Absolutely love this place. The space is beautiful and relaxing. I’m always nervous when looking for a new stylist since white platinum hair isn’t easy, but I lucked out when I found Ann! She does an amazing job with my color and keeping it healthy through the process. Definitely recommend!
- Amanda


I appreciate Ann's approach to coloring and styling my hair. You can tell it is a passion for her, and I feel so very welcome when I'm sitting in her chair. She takes the time to get to know you & your hair, and really cares about her clients. I'm very indecisive & I enjoy giving her free reign, and she never disappoints.
