KENLEIGH GIBNEY
OWNER/STYLIST
Kenleigh has been making hair magic happen for over 13 years—and she’s just getting started. Known for her obsession with detail and a serious love for learning, she’s always up for mastering the latest trends (especially if it involves blondes or extensions!).
Blondes are her love language, and she’s all about that effortless, lived-in look. But no matter the service, Kenleigh’s goal is always the same: make you feel like your best self—confident, glowing, and totally you.
When she’s not behind the chair, you’ll probably find her chasing her three kids, spending time with her husband, sipping something fun from her favorite coffee shop, or rearranging her house (again). Hair is her passion, and helping you love yours is her favorite part of the job.
