Our Dream Team
Meet Our Founder
Noelle Stapleton
My career started in Atlanta, Ga as Educational Director at a top salon in the Buckhead design district. For 5 yrs, I served on a team of Exclusive stylists for Saks fifth Avenue Fashion Shows where I worked with top couture designers. In Arizona, I worked as educational director for a top salon in Camelback Mountain. I wrote and customized their educational manual and executed the training transition. While in Arizona, I worked with 2 other stylists on a Monday Morning Makeover segment featured by Good Morning Arizona 3KTV. After moving to Carlsbad, Ca, I started my own in home salon to accommodate working close to my young children. Finally the time has now come to launch a small scale, exclusive studio salon that caters to those with discerning taste for beautiful, classic, high end hair color to compliment cut and styling! The esthetics of the salon feature clean modern lines with style accentuated by highlights of industrial meets glamour. I hope my vision meets your standards of excellence and customer service as I intend to define!
