Meet the crew.

Heather is Colmado's owner and Creative Director, and she has spent sixteen years behind the chair as a color and cutting specialist. Her path into hair began in Chicago, where professional makeup artist Rachel Reiman became a mentor, inspiring 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. An artist at heart with a BFA in sculpture from SCAD, Heather brings a maker's eye to everything she does, whether she's taking a fine arts workshop or building the salon's furniture herself.

A natural, unfiltered, honest Senior 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. 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.

CJ is a Junior Stylist who trained at the Aveda Institute, and curly hair and vivid color are the work that excites her most. She loves working with alternative, expressive clients, from pixies to bold curly cuts to creative color designs like oil slicks, plaids, stripes, and swirls that turn hair into wearable art. A firm believer that Black women (and everyone) should wear their curls loud and proud, CJ builds every service on a thoughtful consultation, lots of visual inspiration, and open, easy conversation.

A proud supporter and ally of the queer community, she works hard to make her chair a space where everyone feels welcome exactly as they are. Whether you want to chat the whole time or just relax in comfortable quiet, CJ reads the room and follows your lead.
