Welcome to Wild Heart Hair Studio— hair for the wild at heart. ♡ Meet The Owner ♡ Hi, I’m Lindsey—the owner and stylist behind Wild Heart Hair Studio. I’ve been in the beauty industry for over 20 years, and I’ve had the opportunity to experience just about every kind of salon environment along the way. Those experiences shaped the kind of salon I always dreamed of creating: a place where guests feel genuinely cared for and stylists feel supported, valued, and inspired to grow. Wild Heart is a reflection of everything I love about this industry—beautiful hair, meaningful relationships, creativity, education, and making people feel good about themselves. As both an owner and stylist, I’m passionate about creating an experience that feels personal rather than transactional. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, confident in your hair, and excited to come back. I’m so grateful you’re here, and I can’t wait to welcome you into Wild Heart. ♡

Team

  • Lindsey Gustafson

    I’m Lindsey, the founder and hairstylist behind Wild Heart Hair Studio. With 18 years behind the chair, I’ve learned that great hair is about so much more than the finished look—it’s about how you feel when you leave the salon. Wild Heart was created from a dream to build a different kind of salon: a space that feels beautiful and elevated, but never stuffy or intimidating. A place where you can take a deep breath, settle in, laugh, catch up, and genuinely feel cared for. I believe the best salon experiences are rooted in connection, honesty, consistency, and a little bit of indulgence. I’m passionate about creating healthy, beautiful hair that works for real life. Whether we’re creating a dimensional blonde, refreshing your color, giving you a great haircut, or simply helping you feel like yourself again, my goal is always to listen first and create a plan that makes sense for you and your hair. Outside of the salon, I’m a wife and mom, love camping, getting outdoors in our off road machine, and spending time with my family, friends, and our Rottweiler, Duke. I’m also someone who believes in continually learning, growing, and making room for the things that matter most. Wild Heart is a reflection of all of that—a place built with intention, heart, and the belief that you never have to choose between beautiful hair and feeling completely at home.

I believe hair is more than just the finished look— it’s about creating a personalized experience where you feel comfortable, confident, and excited about your hair. I love getting to know my clients, bringing their ideas to life, and adding a little creativity along the way🤍🫧

    Hi, I’m Daisha! I’m currently an assistant at Wild Heart Hair Studio. I’m so excited to be diving into the hair industry with such an amazing team. I’m a stylist who loves to think outside the box; I especially love blonding, alternative haircuts, and creative color. I think every successful appointment starts with a thorough consultation- I enjoy taking the time to truly understand my clients vision & what the end goal is. Outside of the salon I’m a total music enthusiast and fantasy book lover! °❀.ೃ࿔*
