She/Her

meet Holland!

specialties: short hair, pixies, men’s cuts, shags, mullets, blonding, balayage, and foils. i’m always down for any style or transformation that comes my way.

i was born and raised in asheville, and growing up in the mountains has deeply shaped who i am. i graduated from cosmetology school locally in early 2025 and have been pouring my creativity into hair ever since. i love working with guests who are excited to try something new and those who want a style that feels effortless, wearable, and true to them.

my approach in the chair is all about collaboration. listening closely, paying attention to detail, and creating hair that feels customized to your features, lifestyle, and energy. whether it’s a bold short cut, a subtle refresh, or a full transformation, i want you to leave feeling confident and like the best version of yourself.

when i’m not at ananda, you can usually find me outside soaking up nature or unwinding at home with my cat :)

what makes your hair brain sing? short hair! i love how unique and tailored every short style can be. creating something fun, intentional, and totally custom for each person, and seeing how confident they feel afterward, is my favorite part of what i do.

go-to davines product: dry texturizer. i love it on long hair and short hair alike. give me all the texture!

what you love about ananda: i love that ananda is such a warm, welcoming space that’s truly focused on the client experience. i’m also really inspired by how much emphasis we put on growth. my coworkers constantly motivate me to be better.

fun fact about me: i love astrology and tarot, and i’m always down to talk about it :)
