Heather
Heather is the owner of Colmado and a color and cutting specialist with sixteen years behind the chair. Her path into hair began in Chicago, where she met professional makeup artist Rachel Reiman, a mentor who inspired her to pursue a creative career and enroll at the Aveda Institute. Her expertise runs deep in lived-in color, gray blending, color corrections, blonding, and precision bob cuts, with babylights and airtouch highlights among her favorite techniques.
Heather's signature is timeless rather than trendy: natural-looking color that grows out seamlessly and cuts tailored to keep each client's own style fresh, never overdone. Her ideal client trusts her to do what's best for them, and her goal is for everyone to leave feeling like the most confident, empowered version of themselves. An ambivert who pours real energy into every conversation, she wants her chair to be a place that inspires as much as it transforms. An artist at heart with a BFA in sculpture from SCAD, she brings a maker's eye to everything she does, whether she's taking a fine arts workshop or building furniture for the salon itself.

Color & Natural Hair Specialist
Star
A natural, unfiltered, honest stylist with six years behind the chair and training from Paul Mitchell The School Honolulu, Star specializes in color and natural hair care, and her happy place is a color and cut finished with a bouncy blowout, watching it all come together at the end. Right now she's especially drawn to long, layered cuts. She keeps things real from the start, with a transparent consultation built around photos and honest conversation about upkeep, what's realistic, and what will keep your hair healthy.
Her chair is a safe, warm, and genuinely fun space, and her goal is simple: for you to leave reset and renewed, with whatever weight you walked in carrying gone by the time you stand up. One of her favorite compliments came from a client who said the headache and heartache they arrived with had lifted by the end of the service.

Mo
Mo is an extensions, silk press, cut, and texture specialist trained at the Aveda Institute. Her signature style is modern, timeless, and luxurious, built on clean finishes, natural movement, and hair that looks effortlessly beautiful. She loves clients who value healthy hair, and her favorite work is silk presses and sew-ins because they let her create fully customized transformations while protecting the health and integrity of your natural hair. Right now she's especially excited about dimensional blonding that's as practical for everyday life as it is beautiful.
What sets Mo apart is her background as a professional dancer: she's performed and styled hair on national tours and TV shows, an experience that taught her to work under pressure and pay close attention to every detail. Her chair is a welcoming, relaxing space where she takes time to listen, educate, and make sure you feel heard, guided by honest consultations that put your hair's health first so you leave feeling confident and like the best version of yourself. For Mo, the most rewarding part of the job is building genuine relationships and creating a space where people feel comfortable and cared for.

Kelsey is a color and blonding specialist with three years behind the chair, trained at the Aveda Institute of Atlanta. She's also a certified professional makeup artist, giving her a sharp eye for how color and features work together.

She's all about customized, timeless looks that feel elevated without ever looking overdone, so every client leaves feeling like the best, most confident version of themselves.
Her chair is a welcoming, judgment-free space built on listening first, where you can unwind, be yourself, and trust the process.
