Hello, love. I’m Sara — founder of Studio 356, stylist, mentor, and someone who still genuinely loves this industry 25 years later.

​

I didn’t set out to build a team or even a “brand.” I created Studio 356 because I wanted to work in a space that felt calm, intentional, and elevated. A place where women were truly cared for and the experience mattered just as much as the hair. What started as a simple vision has grown into something far greater than I ever expected and I’m both humbled and grateful for that.

​

This industry has been so good to me. It’s allowed me to build a beautiful life, to serve women in meaningful ways, and to grow in seasons I never saw coming. As the salon has grown, I have too. While I still love being behind the chair (and always will), leadership and mentorship have become a deeper focus for me. Helping stylists discover their artistry, build confidence, and create balanced success lights me up.

​

As I’ve gotten older (did I say that out loud?), I’ve developed a deep appreciation for time. Time at home. Time with the people I love. Time not rushing. That perspective shapes how I approach hair now. I care deeply about creating hair that fits into your real life. Styles and color that are beautiful but also practical, sustainable, and aligned with the season you’re in.

​

When I’m behind the chair, grey coverage, blending, and seamless transitions are my favorite. There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping women feel confident in every stage of life, and… I love cutting, give me scissors and I’m happy. I’m always honest about goals and realistic timelines, and map out a thoughtful three-visit journey to keep us aligned as your needs shift. Consistent, beautiful hair that works for you — that’s my thing.

​

Outside the salon, home is my favorite place. It’s where I recharge with my husband, a stack of books, and my cat curled up nearby. I love crafting, baking, and my bees. Sundays are for church and rest, whether that means a lazy afternoon, a walk in nature, or relaxing at a local winery.

​

Whether you’re sitting in my chair or considering joining our team, my heart is the same: to build something intentional, rooted in care and excellence, where women feel valued and stylists can grow into careers they’re proud of.
