Tina Carroll
Hi, I’m Tina! I’ve been a stylist in Ankeny for over 20 years, and I’m passionate about creating hair that feels effortless, fresh, and uniquely you.
I believe in luxury without the ego, education over competition, and enhancing natural beauty through lived-in, low-maintenance color that lasts. Whether you’re looking for soft highlights or a bold transformation, I’m here to create a look that reflects your lifestyle and personality.
I can’t wait to welcome you into my chair and help you reach your hair goals!
Carey Moreno
With over 20 years of experience in the industry, I’ve built my career on more than just skill—it’s the relationships and trust I’ve formed with my clients that truly set my work apart. I believe in creating a space where every person who sits in my chair feels seen, heard, and leaves feeling their absolute best.
I’m proud to call Des Moines home, where I raise my amazing son and enjoy everything this community has to offer. When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me spending time with friends and family, working out, soaking up the outdoors, exploring new restaurants, reading a book or relaxing with a great glass of wine.
For me, this business is deeply personal—because it’s not just about beauty, it’s about connection.
Kat Wolfe
Hi there! I’m so happy you’re here and hope to get the opportunity to meet you sometime soon! My name is Kat Wolfe and when I’m not working behind the chair, you can find me at home with my husband, Nate, and our 2 daughters, Nora & Annie. We are both from small towns in Iowa and have been Ankeny residents since 2016. We have enjoyed renovating and flipping our home over the years, and can now enjoy it with our girls and our dog, Eddie.
With 15 years behind the chair, I bring a passion for effortless, lived-in color and on-trend cuts that grow out softly and fit your lifestyle. I stay inspired and educated on the latest techniques, so your look always feels fresh and current. Whether you’re in for a full transformation or a simple refresh, you’ll find my chair is a judgment-free zone where good vibes and great hair go hand in hand.
Jill Hansen
Hi, Jill Hansen here! I grew up in Monroe, a small town in Iowa. Since February 2020 (wild times I know) I have planted my roots here in Ankeny. With my hubby Mike and two boys Liam & Brooks.
I have been working on my craft for 14 years now, with a majority in the Metro. Ever since I was a little girl, it was my dream to be a hairstylist. I would constantly practice on my mom’s hair (thanks mom). I love seeing the transformation extentions create and providing a seamless blend. Questions?? Just ask! I can’t wait to see you in my chair!!

Grace Alderton
Hi, I’m Grace! A seven almost eight year seasoned stylist! I specialize in balayage, lived in color and bridal hair. I also am certified in Invisible Bead Extensions.
When I’m not in the salon you can catch me spending time with my husband Korbin and our two fur babies, Bolt and Teddy! If spending time outdoors, shopping, sipping coffee or a cocktail on a patio, and listening to country music is your vibe, I’m your girl!
I would love to meet you and start you on your hair journey!
Hi, I’m Monica!
I’ve been behind the chair since 2012, and from the moment I picked up my first color brush, I knew the beauty industry was where I belonged. Born and raised in Cedar Rapids, I recently settled in Ankeny with my Husband and our Golden Retriever, Willow, and we’re thrilled to call this community home.
I’m certified in Invisible Bead Extensions®—the most innovative and natural-looking extension method in the industry—and I love helping my guests transform their look with seamless, healthy, beautiful hair. Beyond extensions, I specialize in lived-in color, balayage, blonding, Brazilian blowouts, and precision haircuts. Whether you’re preparing for a special event, like a wedding, or just want to refresh your everyday style, I’m here to create a look that makes you feel confident and radiant.
Education is at the heart of everything I do, keeping me inspired and always ahead of the latest trends. My goal is to provide more than just great hair—I want every appointment to feel like a luxury experience from start to finish.
I can’t wait to welcome you into my chair and help you discover the best version of your hair. Let’s create something beautiful together!

Erica Erickson
Hello, Hello!
I have a passion for making people feel their best. The moment you walk into the salon, "Self Care" starts and you deserve it. My mission is to provide you with a realistic expectation of what your hair can achieve while you sit back and enjoy a glass of wine or cup of coffee.
The beauty world has always been a big part of my life. I first began working as a receptionist at age 14, I swear my first love. I graduated from PCI in Ames and definitely enjoyed my life in a college town. I worked at two salons before landing where I am now. I am surrounded by strong women who are killing it in this industry. Our atmosphere is one of kind.
Outside of the salon, you can find me with my three littles (5+3+1) and an amazing hubby. You can also find me with my hair on top of my head and comfy clothes on. Anddddd maybe a cocktail in my hand too.
I look forward to meeting you and seeing you in my chair.
