Hi, I’m Riley — a Kansas City hairstylist specializing in dimensional, lived-in color that keeps your hair looking effortless, natural, and healthy. Whether you’re a blonde, brunette, bronde, or wanting a rich pop of red, I’m all about creating seamless color customized specifically for you and your lifestyle.
Behind the chair, I’m known for being detail-obsessed and your built-in hype girl.

Healthy hair will always be my priority, and I’m passionate about keeping your hair strong, shiny, and on the healthiest track possible without sacrificing your dream color.
When I’m not in the salon, you can usually find me with an iced coffee in hand, hanging with my dogs, or finding the best summer patio spots around KC. My goal is simple: for every client to leave my chair feeling like the best version of themselves — confident, refreshed, and already excited for their next appointment -

Ru
Licensed Barber
Hey, I am Ru! I am a licensed barber with 7 years of experience, and for me, barbering has always been about more than just a haircut. I want you to leave my chair looking good, feeling confident, and knowing a little more about how to take care of your hair, beard, and scalp.
I specialize in fades, precision cuts, beard grooming, lineups, and personalized grooming services, but I also take the time to talk with my clients about their hair and scalp health, washing routines, products, styling, and what they can do at home between appointments. Everybody’s hair, skin, lifestyle, and environment are different, so I don’t believe grooming should be one-size-fits-all.
My chair is a laid-back, welcoming space. Whether you want to talk, laugh, ask questions, or just relax and enjoy your service, you’re welcome here. I’ll always give you my professional opinion and explain why I recommend something instead of just trying to sell you a product or service.
Outside of the shop, I’m a veteran, entrepreneur, and creative who enjoys music, learning, and building things of my own. I’m constantly working on improving my craft and the experience I provide.
Come as you are. We’ll figure out the rest together.
