ABOUT

hair color specialist

A salon experience should be relaxing, fun, and it should always end with amazing hair.

I've been creating magic behind the chair for the past 20 years. I know, that's crazy because you were probably just thinking "she looks 25, how can that be!?" *wink*wink*

What’s trending today? Timeless, effortless hair color that looks beautiful for months on end. I’m obsessed with creating modern looks you’ll never look back on and think, “OMG, what was I thinking?”

In 2026 you wanna keep things simple. More time between salon visits, less time fussing over your hair and wayyy more days feelin' your damn self.

That's why I love low maintenance color that's designed with every single detail on your dream hair wish list. Transforming your mane so that you can look and feel like the ultimate babe until we meet again is my mission.

I’m always welcoming new guests into my chair. Unless, of course, you’re still emotionally attached to chunky, stripey 1999 highlights. In that case… hmm… suddenly my calendar is looking verrrry full. Kidding. (Kind of.)

Come sit in my chair. It's always good vibes and great hair.I can't wait to have you!


FINDING INSPIRATION FROM 

Exploring national parks, being the most fun auntie, rad tattoos, adorable cafes with good coffee, and great hats.

Holly

Based in San Diego, Holly brings a thoughtful approach to creating the best salon experience from start to finish.

I call Raven Collective my cozy salon-home away from home. It's a hidden gem tucked right along the coast of Encinitas, CA. Our salon is a collective of talented independent artists who are dedicated to the craft
 of creating beautiful hair.

When I'm not painting hair; you can find me boogieing to live music, camping with my loved ones, soaking up vitamin D anywhere possible or planning my next big adventure. 

LOVES: belly laughs, nerding out on podcasts, house plants, horror movies, and stand up comedy
