Zen Salon & Studio

“After decades in the beauty industry, I wanted to build a space that supports the professional behind the chair just as much as the client in it. Zen is an intentional, elevated salon where great work happens, people enjoy themselves, and professionalism is respected.

This is a space where conversation flows, laughter is welcome, and the energy feels good — without chaos or burnout. Every detail, from how we work together to how the space is cared for, is guided by thoughtfulness and mutual respect.

Zen is not a high-volume or with chaos. It is an intentional space designed for focus, creativity, connection, and longevity in this industry”

If this resonates with you, let’s start a conversation.

Great hair doesn’t start with a style… it starts with a consultation.

A true consultation means I’m thoroughly going through your hair—feeling it, examining it, and learning you. We talk about your goals, what you love about your hair, what you don’t love, your hair history, your health, and even your lifestyle.

It starts at the bowl. I need to see your hair in different states—curly, straight, and everything in between—so I can understand what your hair truly needs.

That’s why I encourage my clients to add a consultation onto their hair appointment and come prepared to share. When we do this right, I can create a realistic, healthy hair plan that actually works for you. Otherwise, it’s just a conversation—and your hair deserves more than that.

Ready to be intentional about your hair journey?

Add a consultation to your next appointment.

Let’s talk curly hair!
All curls are beautiful, but not all curls behave the same. From loose waves to tight coils, every texture has its own pattern, density, and level of moisture it needs. That’s why one product won’t work for everyone — and that’s okay!

The key is understanding your texture + your desired style.
Want soft, defined curls? You may need moisture and a light gel.
Want big, voluminous curls? You might reach for a mousse or foam.
Need frizz control? A cream or oil blend could be the best match.

Curly hair isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about learning what your hair responds to so you can get results both at home and in the salon.

If you want help choosing the right products for your curls, I’m here for you. Book your next appointment or shop hair care at www.zensalon.studio

Happy Giving Tuesday!!! Today we are supporting our friends Baby & Me. If you are interested in supporting click the link below. Another way to support is by helping us fill the buckets at Zen Salon & Studio. We're collecting diapers, wipes and gift cards. Other bulk items that are useful: Lip balm, glow sticks, coloring books, hot cocoa, fruit snacks, candy canes and stickers. Please drop off items Tuesday-Friday 10am-2pm ❤️

01 day left until Giving Tuesday,
and we’re asking you to stand with Baby & Me Lincoln. 🌟

Your giving helps us continue offering essential resources, parenting support, and compassionate, community-centered care for expecting and new families right here in Lincoln.

It truly takes a village to raise a baby, and we’re committed to being part of that village. 🤍 Many pregnant and postpartum parents, especially from diverse and underserved cultures, are navigating this transition without the support they deserve.

Environmental, physical, and emotional stress can make early parenthood overwhelming, but together, we can change that.

Every gift helps bridge the gap and ensures families receive the care, guidance, and love they need during this tender season.

💗 Give today on our website: babyandme.live
💗 Donate via PayPal:

Lately a lot of you have been telling me how much you’re loving your hair results... not just in my chair, but at home too. That means so much to me. hair is a partnership, and you’ve been showing up for your hair in the best ways.

Because of that, I’ll be sharing more "consistent" hair care tips, routines, and product education right here.
Think of them as little weekly check-ins to help you:

1. Keep your hair healthy between appointments
2. Use the right techniques and products for your texture
3. Protect your investment in color, extensions, and treatments
4. Build simple habits that actually work, without overwhelming you!

Your at-home routine matters just as much as what I do for you in the salon. When we combine the two, that’s when we see the real magic: stronger hair, better growth, longer-lasting results, and fewer setbacks.

If there’s anything specific you want help with.... breakage, moisture, growth, styling, or extensions — drop it in the comments or send me a message. I’m happy to guide you.

Here’s to healthy hair, inside and outside the salon.
