-
Eager and committed to ongoing education for our skills behind the chair and in our business. We believe that personal development is key to growing inside and outside of the salon as well as taking care of our mental health, bettering oneself as a service provider and our own self growth within. In this we strive to be the best version of ourselves not only to elevate our guest experience but for the overall betterment of us as a team and as individuals.
-
Being accountable and responsible for our actions. Cleaning up after ourselves and doing our part as a team member so the work does not constantly fall on others. We take responsibility for our mistakes and shortcomings when they arise, and we learn from them. Through our accountability we can become the best we can be as a whole for our guests, ourselves, and our team.
-
We remain aware that we grow better, stronger and faster when we share our strengths. We communicate professionally with kind candor. We always strive to communicate honestly but kindly with each other, our guests and anyone else in our professional realm. Negativity and hostility prevent open communication, while honest and kind communication can solve issues and create success.
-
We believe in working together and that in supporting one another, collaborating and promoting each other to achieve our goals. We recognize we are a group of individuals making up a team. We are also supportive and engaging of our local community and industry.
-
We believe in searching, educating, implementing and sharing new ways, ideas and processes for our services and products with the goal of increasing sales, improving guest experiences and making our days better. We believe in solving problems, not just complaining about them.
-
We believe that True Wealth is an abundance of Time, Health, Love and Money. While we believe life will truly never be fully balanced at one given moment, we strive and are committed to building a wealthy lifestyle, where the goal is to feel wealthy in all aspects of our lives.

Love Notes from the Team
“I love working at Gypsy & Oak because of the perfect mix of independence and support I get as a stylist. We are a collective team of stylists running our own businesses in the same salon. I have a beautiful space to welcome in my clients and give them an amazing guest experience. Megan is supportive and encouraging and she is always looking to improve the salon to better serve our clients and her stylists.
Gypsy & Oak is the perfect place for the driven, independent hairstylist looking to grow & level up their business. You would be joining a team of other business focus hairstylists who are on their way to living their dream life, working their ideal schedule, and attracting their dream clients.
