The Collective MKE

The September issue of Milwaukee Magazine is out! And while we didn't win this year, we were honored to be a finalist in the 2024 Readers' Choice Awards. Thanks to everyone who nominated us for this fun recognition! 🤍

Some call it the seven-year itch. We call it success! Today we celebrate being in business for seven years. 🥳

The Collective MKE was created from a vision. When thinking about owning his own salon, Matthew envisioned a beautiful space where every client who walked in the door would have an unforgettable experience and every stylist would feel part of something special. And after seven years, that vision and goal come to life every day we open those doors for business.

On behalf of Kelly, Tara, Shannon, Heather and Matthew, we thank all our clients, vendors, and supporters for sticking with us over the years. Our success could only be made possible by amazing people like you. Today we raise a glass to you all. 🥂

✨ We are so proud of our long-time client (and friend), Dr. Suzanne Tack for embarking on this amazing journey and creating Lux Dental!

After years of working in other dental practices, Suzanne realized it was time to do her own thing - and we couldn't be more excited for her.

They are hard at work at getting their space ready to open in late Spring. In the meantime, take a peek at her latest video and be sure to give them a follow or like! ✨

Today our amazing clients are welcomed to a little sip and nibble to honor of St. Patrick's Day! 🍀

(And nope, you don't need to be Irish to partake. That would just be cruel 😜)

Oof! Since we’re closed on Mondays, we missed the chance to wish this cool chick a very happy birthday!

We hope you had the best day ever, Hair by Heather Lesnik 🥳

It’s called Labor Day, so we relax as much as we can 😌

Every Monday is a holiday for us. Yes, we’re off today. And sounds like most of you are too. Look who decided to join the party!

Now go enjoy your holiday with your confident new cut 😜

There’s an empty seat with your name on it 👀⁠
⁠
Whether you're at the blow dry bar or just lounging on the sofa, we've got room. We love some company, you know!
⁠
Stop in for a visit soon. We miss you! 😘

Ever see a celebrity pull off a style that you think you can rock? The answer is yes and yes you can pull it off 🤗⁠
⁠
This visit started with a new style described as a “Charlize Theron look.” After looking through some options, Heather got to work. ⁠Sometimes we only have to see or hear inspiration once for it to click.⁠
⁠
The end result was exactly what we were looking for and our friend strutted out The Collective doors and turned Jackson Avenue into a Hollywood Red Carpet 🤩

Only the best for the best 🙋‍♀️

We’re huge fans of V76 by Vaughn products. We’ve probably used them during your visit once or twice.

If you tried something new with us and liked it, always ask what products were used. Sometimes that’s what makes all the difference.

And the best news is, we probably have it in stock to take home. That’s a win-win ☝🏻

Still masking up. There’s always a smile on Heather’s face regardless 😁

With the increased numbers around Milwaukee, we urge all employees and patrons to come in wearing a mask to prevent any risks.

We appreciate your support and understanding. And yes, we see you smiling under there too ☺️

Some light reading while you wait? 📖

You could catch up on some 30-Second Philosophies. Or, you could a much more in-depth take on one of Matt’s many theories in his chair. Can’t go wrong either way 🤷‍♀️
