Desiree Neel describes hair as a beautiful fabric she can’t get enough of. She brings this level of excitement and creativity to all her clients by channeling inspiration into a look that’s perfect for each person. Although she’s worked in the beauty industry for 30 years, she believes she is more passionate about the possibilities than ever.

Originally from Arizona, Desiree moved to Oregon’s wine country with her husband, who is a vintner and sommelier. The way she tells it, he came here to learn about pinot noir and bribed her to come along by buying her an airline ticket and renting a convertible. Once she visited Oregon, there was no going back. Desiree loves the beauty of the Willamette Valley, the excitement of opening a new salon and all the people she has met here.
