Maddie Angle 
Stylist
She/Her

Once upon a time, many years ago, there was a group of teenage girls gathered in a bathroom past their bedtime. Little did their parents know their little girls would come home with a whole new look thanks to some store-bought hair color.

Since then, Maddie has loved doing wild colors and wild cuts! She's been in the industry since 2021, from training to behind the chair. A well-rounded stylist thanks to multiple mentorships, and she's excited to take on any task given to her. Maddie listens to your needs and we will work together to make you feel like a better, more comfortable you.

In her free time, she loves to draw and play video games! Maddie would love nothing more than to nerd out with someone or listen to anything you’re passionate about! Making a friendly connection and long-term trust with her clients is her goal, and she can’t wait to meet more wonderful people.

Ashley Barton
Stylist
She/They

Ashley is a born and raised Austinite who has been coloring her own hair since she was 18 (she would cut it herself too if she could). Using her hair as a form of expression and constantly being her own guinea pig, her friends started to notice and requested her to dye their hair too. Ashley has always wanted a career that would leave people feeling better about themselves, first studying psychology at Texas State University. She’s always expressed herself through art as well, so naturally, hair seemed like the perfect creative outlet and career! She’s most interested in alternative and creative cuts, color blocking, and anything vivid. If you’ve got that one cut you’ve thought about for years but have been too nervous to take the leap, Ashley will take that leap with you and give you your dream cut!

 

Ashley’s interests aside from hair include drawing and painting, video games, anime/manga, movies (especially horror), fashion, and hitting up the nearest yard sale or art market on weekends.
