Aurora Salon

The Time Has Come

As of June 15th, Aurora Salon's doors have closed, and I am setting off on a new adventure in Montana.

This space—and all of you—have meant more to me than I could ever put into words. For over 20 years, I've had the honor of not just doing hair, but building relationships, sharing life's moments, and creating something really special here in my little salon.

Thank you.

Thank you for your trust, your loyalty, and for choosing to sit in my chair. Whether we met only once or you've been with me month after month and year after year, I am incredibly grateful. You helped make my dream a reality, and I will forever be grateful.

Hello all!

I’m writing to share that I will be starting a new adventure in the mountains of Northwest Montana!

While my exact timeline is still flexible, things are in motion—I’m currently in conversations with a potential buyer for the salon and preparing to list my home in the near future.

This is a big change, and one I’m genuinely excited about, but it also means that my availability will be shifting. For now, I’ll continue seeing clients on a month-to-month basis and will keep you updated as plans become more finalized.

I’m so grateful for your trust and for allowing me to be part of your lives—it truly means more than you know.

For the months of May and June all products will be on sale:
Buy one, get one half off
Buy two, get one free
No limit—so feel free to pop in, stock up, and say goodbye.

While I’m still exploring what the future holds as a curly hair specialist, I’m not giving up on my dream of one day launching a mobile curl salon. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, head over to Aurora Salon on Facebook for updates on potential pop-up events and to follow along as this journey unfolds.

More updates soon 🤍

Biennial post so ya'll know I'm still out here making curls happy🤗

I'm always happy to retain length if that's your goal- but I'm also all about a clean shape if you're ready for it😍

Good morning world! It's been a while, but I'm still here, working away behind the chair.
Quick update- I am still only working with current clients both in Mt. Pleasant and Des Moines.
My waitlist is closed for the time being, if that changes I will update here to let everyone know.
Sending you all love and beautiful hair wishes💗

Big win for these young men last night! Came from behind in the final inning to become the District Champs⚾️
Huge, huge thank you to all my clients for working with my crazy baseball schedule so I can be there for their run at the State Championship💗
Mine are the ones in back with all the hair🥰

Hopefully I inspired a couple of these kiddos to find their passion.

Hi world! It's been nice to have a little break from social media but don't worry I'm still around:)
And its that time of year again- baseball season! Both my boys will be playing for their school team🐯 and between the two of them we have games almost nightly. Evening appointments will be extremely limited and my summer schedule will generally be Tuesday-Thursday in Mt Pleasant, my online schedule is open now April-June for existing clients only.
Fridays in Des Moines, online scheduling available April-May for existing clients only as well.

I love her little curly fringe!

Up early, learning. Bring a new treatment to the salon! Intercellular moisture, osmolytes, amino-acids, all the science〰️☕〰️
