Meet the mother daughter duo
In 2001, Tonia moved to Okaloosa County, ready to begin a new chapter with her three-year-old daughter by her side. Originally licensed in Georgia, she completed Florida's cosmetology program to bring her talent and passion for hair to the Destin area. Just a few years later, in 2006, and unexpected opportunity arose - Tonia was offered a chance to purchase the very salon where she worked. She said yes, and the rest is history.
It was clear early on that Cassie had inherited her mom's creative spark. Like many kids, she gave herself a haircut - but unlike most, she knew exactly what she was doing. Tonia, heartbroken finding her daughter's long locks on the floor, was surprised to find that she really didn't even need to fix Cassie's haircut. She knew then that the hairstylist gene ran strong.
After graduating high school, Cassie enrolled at Okaloosa Technical College to begin her own journey in the beauty industry. From the first day in the student salon, she fell in love with the craft and dove into learning everything she could from her mom. Her passion only deepened when Tonia gave her the opportunity to attend a Toni & Guy cutting class in 2018.
Since 2017, this mother-daughter duo has been proudly serving the Okaloosa County area side by side - blending experience, artistry, and genuine care into every service they offer.

At the heart of our salon is just that - family. We're a mother-daughter team who always said we'd never be best friends...and yet, here we are, doing life and business together and loving every minute of it (most of the time!)
Whether we're soaking up the sun on a cruise, spending a lazy afternoon puzzling over a jigsaw and reality TV, or laughing through a long salon day, we bring the same joy and connection into our work. It's more than just hair to us - it's about creating a space where everyone feels welcome, relaxed, and a little more like themselves.
And yes, there's even a tiny third member of our crew (Cassie's daughter) - our littlest love - who keeps things extra lively and reminds us every day why we do what we do.
When you sit in our chairs, you're not just getting a service. You're stepping into something real, warm, and full of heart. Whether you've been a client long enough to watch Cassie grow up or you're a fresh face, you're family now, too.
