Hello!! I’m Olivia Portegello, a Boston based hairstylist specializing in balayage and lived-in color. I love to create blended, low-maintenance looks for my clients. I’m a proud Jersey native but MA has been my home since 2012. Before starting my hair journey, I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts right here in Boston. When I’m not at work you can find me obsessing over my cat, watching ghost shows, or going for a mountain drive with my husband. I love what I do and I hope you’ll let me make your hair dreams come true.

Owner & Stylist
Kelsey has been in the industry for 15 years. She specializes in color and spent 6 years of her career focusing on only color, perfecting blondes and creative vivids, but she truly loves it all! As far as cutting, textured looks, and anything above the shoulders (a lover of short hair).
When not behind the chair you will find her cooking for her family and friends and spending time with her spouse and their three pups. Kelsey is proud part of the LGBTQ community and her chair is always a safe space.

Outside of the salon Leigh is a proud dog mom, loves the beach and nature, and is a Real Housewives enthusiast. If you’re also a fan, she’s your girl!

With 13 years of experience, Cheryl is truly a master at color. Her specialties are reds and blondes, but let’s be real, she slays everything. When she isn’t behind the chair creating beautiful hair, she enjoys cooking, sewing, vintage cars, and her two adorable cats.

Cutting Specialist
With over 20 years experience behind the chair and in advanced education, Jett (they/he) specializes in hair cutting. Their services are approached with care and thoughtfulness to preserve and enhance their client’s natural texture, and they specialize in precision and creative wash and wear hair. Whether it’s curls, afrotexture, thick hair, a precision bob or a tight fade, they are sure to give you a haircut you are in love with for weeks to come. They love providing gender-affirming care for their clients (insert trans flag emoticon here) It is of utmost importance to me that you feel that your hair showcases who you are inside on the outside. When I’m not in the salon, I am adventuring outside, playing music professionally, and spending time with loved ones.
