Owner and stylist Shannon Hansen brings more than a decade of experience in the beauty industry, including seven years at an Aveda salon in Camas. In March 2020, Shannon opened Dye Pretty Studio, which was shut down by pandemic restrictions within a week of opening. In November 2022, she expanded into a larger space.
“I’ve always been the friend who did everyone’s hair, but my first love was fine art,” Hansen said. “When I decided to switch gears and pursue a career in cosmetology, it was because I knew I could use my artistic background to create beautiful things and help people feel their best. I want every client to leave the salon not only with beautiful hair but also feeling cared for, valued and empowered.”
