Hey, beautiful souls! I’m Dre—short for Andrea—and I’ve been head-over-heels in love with the world of hairstyling since I was just a tiny human. Picture this: a 5-year-old me, tagging along with my mom to the salon, absolutely mesmerized by the symphony of hairdryers, the vibrant chatter, and the magic of transformation lighting up clients’ faces. It was like a switch flipped, and I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that hair was my destiny. Fast forward to today, and that passion? It’s only grown fiercer, blending seamlessly into every facet of my life. Hair isn’t just my job; it’s my first love, playground, art, and community, all tied up in one gorgeous, chaotic bow.
In a twist that feels straight out of a fairytale, I snagged my cosmetology license before graduating high school in 2002, thanks to a clever combo of elective credits. By 2008, with dreams bigger than my shears, I launched His And Her Salon. The name? A hat tip to the first business book that ever spoke to me, “Business for Dummies,” which preached the gospel of catering to your core audience and making your mission crystal clear. As someone who’s always marched to the beat of their drum, refusing to be boxed into society’s rigid categories, I envisioned a sanctuary that embraced everyone. Because here’s the truth: hair doesn’t care about gender, and neither do I. My aim? To celebrate the spectrum of human diversity, one head of hair at a time.
This ethos of inclusivity and efficiency led me to embrace the innovative world of Slice Strands certification for extensions. As a bustling mom and entrepreneur, I’m all too familiar with the luxury of time. Discovering a method that allows me to blend color and full extension installs in a mere 2.5 hours versus the standard 4-8 hours is a trailblazing game changer. It wasn’t just about offering top-tier hair quality; it was about gifting my guests and myself those precious hours back for living our fullest lives. This philosophy ensures every service at His And Her Salon isn’t just about looking fabulous but feeling respected and valued, time included.
On the home front, I’m mama bear to three incredible earthlings—my 5-year-old and 6-year-old daughters and my 8-year-old son. They’re my heartbeat, my chaos, my joy. Having navigated the rough waters of growing up with little guidance, I’m committed to being their rock, their safe place, and their cheerleader, all while rocking the “mom hours” to ensure our time together is sacred. And when I’m not wielding a hairdryer or planning our next adventure, you’ll find me on roller skates, belting out tunes, or busting moves—sometimes all at once, because why the hell not?
So, there you have it—my life’s rollercoaster ride. A hairstylist by trade, a tomboy at heart, and a mom non-stop. At His And Her Salon, we’re more than just a team; we’re a family united in our belief that beauty knows no bounds and everyone deserves to feel fabulous in their skin. Come join our revolution, where all hair is celebrated, every soul is welcome, and every moment is cherished.
