hairdressing is our craft
The mission of Craft is to salon differently, create a harmonious environment for both stylists and clients, and to be inclusive in all areas. Our pricing is hourly and gratuity free. Education and communication are the foundation of what we do, and the result is beautiful work in a feel-good space.
Craft Salon MKE was created during the spring of 2020 during a time that many things were uncertain. After two years of living in Milwaukee one thing was clear to me. Being a salon owner was a part of my DNA that I could not deny and this period of solitude was the perfect time to create a new business in my chosen home of Shorewood, WI.
Though I have been a salon owner, stylist, platform artist, educator and mentor in this industry for almost three decades, I knew this business had to be different. I set out on a journey of personal growth and digging in to what I could do to push our industry forward, create a space where everyone felt valued and seen and where we created a positive and creative space for stylists and clients to enjoy the best of what a salon can do for a community. I continue to push myself to be better as a leader and a stylist, and plan to continue to grow and create the salon of the future, not the stereotypes of salons past.
