Heather
Salon Owner
I absolutely love my career! I have been in this amazing industry since 2002. I attended the Paul Mitchell school in San Diego California, and then continued on to work at Jet Rhys a Vidal Sassoon Salon. I was so blessed to receive an amazing education at Jet Rhys through my apprenticeship followed by a 6 year career as a cutting, updo, extension specialist and teacher. Born and raised a southern California girl, I came to Topeka in 2010 and it has become my home. There are so many amazing things happening with NOTO and Downtown Topeka I just really wanted to be a part of it all! Being able to build my dreams here has truly been an amazing experience. I can’t wait to be able to share my dreams with all of you!

I live by this quote "Do what you love, and you will never work a day in your life".... I love people. I am highly educated and experienced. I have been doing hair since 2006, licenced in 4 different states, and I will never stop learning and growing. To me hairstyling isn't just a job, it's a way to build lasting connections. I'm beyond excited to be able to offer my clients the best color line, products, service, and atmosphere in Topeka. Welcome to Onyx!
