Our Story
Let Your Hair Do The Talking!
There’s no one like you and there’s no hair like yours. This is where you come to create the hair that matches your mood, your personality, your lifestyle.
Come in, share your hair history and create a hair goal. Often we can make that goal happen within your first visit and sometimes it’s a journey. The guarantee is, we’ll have fun making sure you love every look along the way. We are your trusted guides—straight facts and no hair risked.
When you visit, we encourage you to sit back and relax with a cup of tea or perhaps something a little stronger. If you feel like fresh air, wait out a process in the backyard garden. We love a good garden chat, and whatever happens in the garden stays in the garden.
Walk out looking and feeling good, plus knowing you did good because the products we use are cruelty-free and eco-friendly.
Meet the original Wayward Hairdresser
Kelly’s journey began as a 3-year-old assistant to her grandmother’s hairdresser. Weekends were spent handing curlers to the hairdresser, who would then strategically place the curlers—creating the perfect perm. Kelly, convinced that she worked at the salon, took the curler hand-off task seriously and was mesmerized by every moment. She fell in love with the art and science of hair as well as the culture of a salon.
By 19, she was a licensed professional and became part of a hairdresser community that supported each other through ups and downs. When an economic downturn hit their commission-based industry hard, they found themselves broke and broken-hearted. To survive, they came up with the idea to pool their earnings and buy a home together which they would call The Home for Wayward Hairdressers. It would be a place where all are welcome, supported and encouraged. Inspired by those times and devoted to an inclusive and positive environment, Kelly took the leap and opened The Wayward Hairdresser. Come in, she looks forward to meeting you.
