Belinda Benham


Salon Owner, Extension Educator


Mane Creator | Level 9

With a distinguished career spanning 13 years in the hair industry, my primary emphasis has always been on education. I've diligently pursued knowledge by attending numerous professional courses, enhancing my expertise in cutting, color and styling. For the past seven years, my commitment to education has extended to teaching all hair extensions methods, a field I'm deeply passionate about.

This dedication to training and my vision to empower hairstylists led me to establish and manage two thriving salons. The core of my professional satisfaction lies in forging meaningful connections with clients, helping them realize their unique hair aspirations.

While I've had the privilege of contributing my skills to prestigious events like New York Fashion Week and various photo shoots, my true fulfillment comes from nurturing the growth and potential of everyday hairstylists. Witnessing their progress and success is the most gratifying aspect of my journey.

    **** Cutting Specialist ****

    Like any true Aquarius, I’ve always marched to my own drum by constantly changing up my appearance, trying unique things with my hair from a young age. I’ve been doing hair since 2008, was also a hair educator, and am an American Board Certified Haircolorist. Short, edgy, and/or colorful hair is where I thrive, but I still love doing all hair. When I’m not behind the chair, I’m likely watching old Friends episodes with my husband and our Sphynx cats, or am trying to keep up with our sweet toddler, Holden.

  • Kassidy

    Level 3 Mane Artist | Level 8 Energy

    Hellloooo!! I'm Kassidy, @colorme.kassidy on instagram, and Mama to Scarlett Jo.

    My primary focus lies in all things blonde, dimensional brunettes, and solution-based extensions. After going through hair loss myself, the importance of scalp and hair health has become my main priority for my guests. It is so important to me that each person gets out of my chair feeling their best, because confidence is the most attractive attribute [other than your hair 🤩 but I got you on that one]! Creating a lived-in and low maintenance look is my bread and butter, babyyy!

    I am a simple small town girl who ventures into the city to provide you with the hair of your dreams. When I am not behind the chair, you can find Scarlett and I having dance parties, traveling, or at your nearest park. My world revolves around my precious mini-me, family, and hair, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

    I can not wait to meet you and create the hair of your dreams. Thank you for choosing me to be a small part of your life!
