Malinda has been in love with the salon world since she was 17, and all these years later, that passion has only grown. For her, being behind the chair is about so much more than great hair—it’s about connection, creativity, and helping each client feel completely themselves.

With a special love for curly hair and natural texture, Malinda helps her clients understand, embrace, and celebrate the hair they were born with. She also specializes in lived-in color, balayage, and hair painting, creating soft, dimensional looks that feel effortless, modern, and beautifully individual.

A true believer that education never stops, Malinda continues to travel each year for advanced training and inspiration. Her education includes Vidal Sassoon classic and creative cutting, DevaCurl techniques, and extensive continued training in cutting, color, and texture.

After years behind the chair, one of Malinda’s greatest joys is sharing what she has learned. She loves encouraging other stylists, passing along her experience, and helping the next generation develop their confidence and find their own voice behind the chair.

When she’s not at the salon, you’ll likely find Malinda on her mat teaching hot yoga or spending time with her beautiful family.

For Malinda, it all comes back to what she loves most—family, connection, creativity, and making people feel beautiful in a way that still feels like themselves.
