Yes! Under the guidance of experienced stylists, apprentices will gradually take on more hands-on work with clients, starting with assisting services and moving toward independent styling as their skills progress. Right now Apprentices are taking clients by request only on Tuesday mornings.  If you would like to book with Alex or Madison keep in mind it is in a teaching atmosphere and their service timings are much longer.


Not yet! Our Hair Design Apprentices are currently completing 2,000  hours of in-person and online education to qualify for their Washington State Hair Design License. Once they meet the state requirements, they will be eligible to take the State Board Exam, and upon passing, they will receive their official license.

Hi, my name is Madison! I’ve always dreamed of doing hair since I was little. While growing up, I always found myself asking my mom and sisters if I could do their hair. Since then, my curiosity for my potential and yearning to learn and do more has grown exponentially. I would love to be able to help others feel good and confident about themselves after getting their hair done!


 I am so beyond excited to be able to work alongside these great stylists, learn useful and efficient techniques, and grow connections with others while working towards acquiring my license! I was born and raised on Fox Island and love hanging out with friends and family.I enjoy traveling and I find myself adventuring outdoors with my dog in my free time!
