Stylist
Lindsay Cutting
lcuttinghair@

I have been a hairstylist since 2008 and proud mom of two. I specialize in lived-in color, dimensional blondes, long layered cuts, and dry cutting for that soft, natural movement everyone loves. My approach is all about creating low-maintenance, effortless hair that grows out beautifully—because as a busy mom myself, I truly understand the need for hair that looks good without constant upkeep. I’m always investing in continued education in color, cutting, and new techniques so I can bring my clients the most current, customized results behind the chair. Right now, I’m especially excited to continue expanding my education in solutions for thinning hair—something I’m really passionate about growing into. If you’re looking for hair that feels natural, lived-in, and still put together… you’re in the right chair!

I’m all about pushing the vibe—whether that’s a subtle glow-up or a full-on transformation. No cookie-cutter hair here. Every look is tailored to fit your personality, your lifestyle, and your level of “let’s switch it up.”
When you sit in my chair, expect good energy, real conversations, and results that hit. My goal? For you to walk out feeling confident, a little unstoppable, and obsessed with your hair.
Let’s make your hair your favorite accessory!
