About Me

A Passion for Healthy, Effortless Hair

I believe that the most beautiful hair is healthy hair.

My philosophy is simple: your hair should be your greatest accessory, not something you have to struggle with daily.

By prioritizing the health and integrity of every strand, I create styles that don’t just look great—they enhance your natural beauty and fit seamlessly into your life.

Carrie Vernon Hair - Professional Hair Stylist in Vancouver, WA

Two Decades of Artistry

Experience matters when it comes to your hair. With 22 years behind the chair, I’ve dedicated my career as a professional hair stylist to mastering the balance between precision technique and creative expression.

  • A Solid Foundation: I spent 20 years at a renowned Aveda salon as a professional hair stylist with Aveda training, honing my craft and learning the importance of high-quality, plant-based care.

  • Ongoing Growth: The industry is always evolving, and so am I. I consistently pursue advanced education to stay ahead of the latest techniques.

  • Clean Beauty Commitment: I am proud to hold certification in R+Co, a high-performance, 100% vegan, and cruelty-free line that delivers exceptional results without the use of harsh chemicals.

My Chair: A Collaborative Space

I believe the best results happen when we work together. My process is built on listening first. When you sit in my chair, it is a collaborative experience where your voice is the most important part of the plan.

  • I Listen: I want to understand your daily routine, your hair goals, and what makes you feel most like "you."

  • I Collaborate: We map out a plan together to ensure your cut and color are not just beautiful, but maintainable for your unique lifestyle.

  • You Feel Heard: My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, cared for, and confident from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave.

Outside the Salon

When I’m not behind the chair, I’m soaking up time with my favorite people. I am married and have one son who is active in swim and keeps life fun and busy. We are a family that loves to stay active and explore, whether we’re out for a long walk or planning our next travel adventure.

At home, our life is shared with our silver lab, who is always ready for a good walk, and I’m never far from a great book to help me unwind.
