MEET THE TEAM: TIANNA

Every salon has that one person who somehow makes everything feel easy.

At Ivory House, that’s Tianna.

She’s the kind of stylist who instantly makes people feel comfortable, whether it’s your very first appointment or you’ve been sitting in her chair for years.

Her approach is simple.

Listen first. Create second.

She believes great hair starts with understanding the person sitting in front of her. Your lifestyle, your maintenance routine, your schedule, and your goals all matter.

Outside of the salon, Tianna spends most of her time with her husband and two boys. Family is at the center of everything she does, and that caring, family-oriented mindset naturally carries over into her work behind the chair.

Of course, we can’t write a blog about Tianna without mentioning Dr Pepper.

At this point, it’s less of a beverage preference and more of a personality trait.

Clients love her because she’s approachable, genuine, and easy to talk to. There’s no intimidation, no rushing, and no pressure.

Just beautiful hair and a stylist who genuinely wants you to enjoy your time in the chair.

WHY YOUR CURLS DON’T LAST AND HOW TO MAKE THEM LAST LONGER

One of the questions we hear all the time at Ivory House Salon is, “How do you get curls to last all day?”

The answer usually surprises people.

It’s almost never the curling iron.

Long lasting curls start before you ever wrap a section of hair around the barrel. They’re created by preparation, technique, and the right products working together.

One of the biggest mistakes we see is curling freshly washed, silky smooth hair without any foundation. Clean hair isn’t a bad thing, but hair that’s too soft often struggles to hold a style. That’s why we always build a little texture into the hair before we start curling.

One of our favorite products for this is Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer. We spray it at the roots to create lift and throughout the ends to give the hair a little grip. It helps curls hold their shape longer while creating that effortless, lived in finish everyone loves.

Another mistake is grabbing sections that are too big. While it might save a few minutes, larger sections don’t heat evenly, which means the curl usually falls much faster. Smaller, consistent sections create a stronger, longer lasting curl.

Here’s another tip we swear by behind the chair…

Don’t touch your curls right away.

As tempting as it is to run your fingers through them immediately, hair needs time to cool. We often let curls sit while we finish the rest of the style because cooling is what allows the hair to lock into its new shape.

If we’re looking for even more volume, we’ll set sections in velcro rollers while they cool. It’s a simple technique that creates beautiful lift and helps your style last even longer.

The final step is making sure all of that work stays in place. We finish with Davines This Is A Strong Hairspray, which gives long lasting hold without leaving the hair stiff or crunchy. Your curls still move naturally, but they’re much more likely to make it through the day.

At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, Texas, we always remind our clients that styling isn’t about finding one magic tool. It’s about using the right combination of techniques, products, and professional hair care to help your style last.

If your curls always seem to fall before lunch, don’t assume your hair just won’t hold a curl. Sometimes all it takes is a few small changes to your routine.

The next time you’re in the salon, ask your stylist to walk you through how they create long lasting curls. We’d be happy to share our favorite techniques, recommend the right Davines styling products for your hair, and help you feel more confident styling your hair at home.

Because when you know the “why” behind the technique, recreating it becomes so much easier.

the secret to effortless volume? meet davines “this is a dry texturizer”

Have you ever noticed how your hair looks full and effortless when you leave the salon, but falls flat once you get home?

One of our favorite tricks isn’t teasing your hair or using a ton of hairspray. It’s using the right styling product.

At Ivory House Salon, one product we reach for all the time is Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer. It’s become a staple for creating lived in volume, soft texture, and hair that actually holds its style without feeling stiff or sticky.

If you’ve never used a texturizing spray before, think of it as the product that gives your hair a little extra grip. That grip helps curls last longer, adds fullness to fine hair, and creates that effortless, undone look so many people love.

One of the reasons we love this product is because it doesn’t leave your hair crunchy. Instead, it gives your hair movement while adding body and separation. Your hair still feels touchable, just with a little more life.

This product is perfect if you have fine or medium hair that tends to fall flat after styling. It’s also a favorite for anyone with freshly washed hair that feels a little too soft to hold curls or volume.

To use it, style your hair first, then lightly spray it through the mid lengths and ends. Use your fingers to gently tousle your hair, and you’ll instantly see more texture and fullness. A little goes a long way, so start with less and build if you need more.

One of the questions we get asked most is, “Do I need this if I already use hairspray?” The answer is yes, because they do two completely different jobs. Hairspray is designed to hold your style in place. A texturizer is designed to create volume, movement, and that effortless finish that makes hair look a little less “done.”

At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, Texas, we love helping clients find products that fit their lifestyle instead of giving them a shelf full of things they’ll never use. If your goal is fuller hair, longer lasting curls, or easy everyday styling, this is one of the first products we’d recommend.

Sometimes the biggest difference in your hair routine isn’t learning a new technique. It’s finding the right product to do the work for you.

The next time you’re in the salon, ask your stylist to show you how we use Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer behind the chair. We think you’ll quickly see why it’s one of our team’s favorites.

WHY YOUR HAIR COLOR FADES FASTER IN TEXAS

Have you ever left the salon obsessed with your hair color, only to feel like it lost its shine or richness a few weeks later? You’re definitely not imagining it.

Living in Texas is amazing, but our hair has to work a little harder here. Between the sun, the heat, hard water, and more frequent washing during the summer, hair color naturally fades faster than many people expect.

One of the biggest culprits is hard water. Minerals found in the water can build up on the hair over time, making color look dull and leaving your hair feeling dry. If you’ve noticed your blonde looking brassy or your brunette losing its richness, hard water could be part of the reason.

Heat styling also plays a role. Whether you’re using a blow dryer, curling iron, or flat iron, protecting your hair before applying heat helps preserve both the health of your hair and the life of your color. Healthy hair simply holds color better.

At Ivory House Salon, we love helping clients build a simple routine that keeps their hair looking fresh between appointments. That usually starts with using professional hair care that’s designed to protect your investment. We love Davines because it focuses on healthy hair while delivering beautiful results, and Reverie offers clean, performance driven products that support healthy styling every day.

The good news is that you don’t need a complicated routine. A color safe shampoo, a nourishing conditioner, heat protection, and a few healthy habits can make a huge difference in how long your hair color lasts.

Your hair is with you every single day. Taking care of it at home is one of the best ways to keep it looking just as beautiful as the day you walked out of the salon.

If you ever have questions about your hair care routine, ask us at your next appointment. We’re always happy to recommend products and techniques that fit your lifestyle and your hair goals.

If you’re searching for tips on maintaining healthy hair, protecting your hair color, or learning more about professional hair care in Dripping Springs, Texas, we hope this helps you love your hair a little longer.

Some people bring a calming energy into a room.

Madison somehow manages to bring both peace and complete chaos, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

She’s kind, genuine, incredibly talented, and almost always responsible for at least one laugh happening somewhere in the salon.

Madison has a way of making appointments feel effortless. From the moment you sit in her chair, you’ll quickly realize there’s no pressure and no pretentious salon experience waiting for you. Just great conversation, personalized recommendations, and someone who genuinely wants you to love your hair.

Outside of the salon, Madison loves slow mornings, spending time with Jesus, getting lost in a good book, and hanging out with her dachshund.

Inside the salon, she’s known for creating beautiful hair while keeping things light and fun. Her laid-back personality makes it easy for clients to relax, ask questions, and enjoy the process.

One of Madison’s greatest strengths is her ability to truly connect with people. She listens carefully, pays attention to what matters to her clients, and creates an experience that feels personal from beginning to end.

At Ivory House, we believe your appointment should be something you look forward to, and Madison embodies that philosophy perfectly.

Great hair is important.

WHY WE CHOSE DAVINES & REVERIE

One of the questions we hear most often is, “Why do you carry these products instead of everything else?”

The answer is actually pretty simple.

We never wanted the shelves at Ivory House Salon to feel overwhelming. There are thousands of hair products available today, and not all of them deserve a place in your routine.

Every product we recommend is something our team genuinely believes in and uses behind the chair.

Davines has been a favorite because it combines beautiful performance with thoughtful ingredients. Whether you’re looking for more moisture, volume, shine, or protection for color treated hair, there’s a solution that’s designed to support healthy hair without overcomplicating your routine.

Reverie caught our attention for a different reason. Their philosophy centers around clean, high quality ingredients that feel luxurious while still delivering professional results. The products are lightweight, versatile, and designed to enhance your natural hair instead of fighting against it.

Our goal has never been to sell products. It’s to help you understand which ones actually make a difference for your hair.

Sometimes that means recommending just one product instead of five. Sometimes it means teaching you how to use what you already have a little differently.

We believe healthy hair starts with education. When you understand what your hair needs and why, taking care of it becomes much easier.

At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, Texas, we love helping our clients create realistic routines they can stick with at home. Beautiful hair isn’t about having the most products. It’s about having the right ones.

The next time you’re in the salon, ask us what’s on our own bathroom counters. Chances are, you’ll find plenty of Davines and Reverie products that have become everyday favorites for our team.

MORE THAN JUST A HAIR APPOINTMENT…

There are a lot of places you can go to get your hair done.

What we hope you feel when you walk into Ivory House Salon is that you’re walking into a place where you can truly relax.

From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel welcome. Grab a coffee, enjoy a drink, settle into the chair, and know that this time is yours.

Behind every appointment is a conversation. We want to know what’s working for your hair, what you’re struggling with, how much time you like to spend styling, and what you want your hair to feel like weeks from now, not just today.

That’s why every service is personalized. We believe great hair isn’t about following every trend. It’s about creating a look that fits your lifestyle, your maintenance preferences, and your goals.

Jenna built Ivory House Salon with the idea that both clients and stylists deserve a space where people genuinely care about one another. That mindset has shaped everything from the products we carry to the way our team continues learning together.

Education is something we value deeply. Our stylists are always investing in classes, new techniques, and product knowledge because the beauty industry is constantly evolving. The more we learn, the better experience we can create for every guest who sits in our chair.

We’re proud to be part of the Dripping Springs community and grateful for every client who chooses to spend their time with us. Whether you’ve been visiting us for years or just found us, thank you for trusting us with your hair.

At the end of the day, beautiful hair matters. But so does how you feel while you’re here. Our hope is that every visit to Ivory House Salon leaves you feeling a little more confident than when you walked in.

We’re honored to be part of your routine, your milestones, and the little moments in between.

Meet the Team: Dianna

Some people have a way of making you feel comfortable the moment you meet them.

Dianna is one of those people.

With years of experience behind the chair, she’s built her career on creating beautiful hair, genuine relationships, and making every guest feel completely at ease. She believes great hair isn’t about chasing every trend—it’s about creating a look that feels timeless, flattering, and uniquely yours.

But don’t let her calm presence fool you.

Dianna is also one of the funniest people in the salon.

She’s quick with a joke, always ready with a witty comment, and somehow has a way of making everyone around her laugh without even trying. Whether she’s teasing one of the team members or sharing stories with a client, there’s a good chance you’ll hear laughter coming from her chair throughout the day.

One of the things guests appreciate most about Dianna is that she takes her time. She listens, asks thoughtful questions, and pays attention to the little details before she ever picks up a brush or a pair of shears. It’s an approach that’s earned the trust of clients who have happily returned to her chair year after year.

She has a way of making every appointment feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. You might come in for great hair, but you’ll probably leave with a few good stories and a smile, too.

After years in the industry, she’s seen trends come and go, but one thing has stayed the same: healthy hair, honest conversations, and making people feel good never go out of style.

At Ivory House, we’re lucky to have someone whose talent is matched by her warmth, humor, and ability to make everyone around her feel right at home.

Product Spotlight: The Secret Behind Effortless Texture

Everyone wants hair that looks effortless.

Ironically, effortless hair usually has a little help.

One of our favorite products for creating that lived-in, airy texture is Reverie’s Mare Mediterranean Sea Mist.

Unlike traditional sea salt sprays that can leave hair feeling stiff or dry, Mare creates soft movement with a touchable finish.

It’s the product we reach for when someone says,

“I wish my hair had more volume.”

Or…

“My curls fall flat by lunchtime.”

Or…

“I just washed my hair and somehow it already feels too clean.”

Mare adds grip without crunch, texture without stiffness, and volume without teasing.

It’s one of those products that quietly makes styling easier.

Perfect For

• Second-day hair

• Root lift

• Soft texture

• Beachy waves

• Fine hair that needs more body

If Hair Products Could Talk…

Ever wonder what the products on our shelves would say if they had personalities?

We’ve given it some thought.

OI All In One Milk

“I’ve got this.”

Frizz?

Handled.

Heat protection?

Already working on it.

Knots?

Gone.

It’s the dependable friend that somehow remembers everyone’s birthday and still shows up early.

Not today.

Even better.

Beach vacation not included.

Hairspray

*“I’m not bossy…”

“…I’m supportive.”

We spend a lot of time talking about ingredients and benefits, but sometimes it’s fun to imagine the personalities behind the bottles.

If you had to pick one product to narrate your life…

Which one would it be?

Things We Hear Every Single Day

Spend a few hours in a hair salon, and you’ll notice something.

Some phrases are practically universal.

We’ve heard them hundreds of times… and somehow they never get old.

“I haven’t done anything to it.”

Translation: It’s in a claw clip, three-day-old dry shampoo, and somehow still looks amazing.

“Just take off whatever you think.”

Five minutes later…

“…But not too much.”

A completely reasonable request, by the way.

“I almost canceled because my hair looked so bad.”

Ironically… that’s usually why people book a hair appointment.

“I don’t know what I want.”

Don’t worry.

That’s what we’re here for.

“I should’ve booked this sooner.”

We hear this one a lot.

Life gets busy.

Hair appointments have a funny way of moving to the bottom of the to-do list until one day you catch your reflection and think…

“…Yep. It’s time.”

“Can you make me blonde without damaging my hair?”

We’ll always be honest about what’s realistic.

Sometimes that’s one appointment.

Sometimes it’s a journey.

Healthy hair always comes first.

“I only wash my hair once a week.”

Half the salon quietly nods in approval.

“I saw this on Pinterest…”

Honestly?

We love when you bring inspiration.

It’s one of the best ways to start a conversation about your goals.

Hair appointments aren’t just about hair.

They’re full of little moments, familiar conversations, and the kind of things that somehow happen in salons everywhere.

We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Meet the Team: Sarah

Every stylist brings something different to Ivory House, and that’s one of the things we love most about our team.

If you’ve spent any time around Sarah, you’ve probably noticed she has a calm, easygoing energy that instantly makes people feel comfortable. She’s the kind of stylist who listens first, pays attention to the little details, and wants every guest to leave feeling like the best version of themselves.

Sarah has an eye for creating hair that feels effortless. Whether it’s a subtle refresh, a dimensional color, or a style that looks just as good weeks later as it did on appointment day, her goal is always the same: beautiful, wearable hair that fits your everyday life.

When she’s not behind the chair, there’s a good chance you’ll find her scrolling Pinterest for inspiration, online shopping for her next favorite find, or introducing the salon to something she just discovered. She’s always on the hunt for fresh ideas, whether it’s a new hair trend, a styling technique, or something that simply catches her eye.

Around the salon, Sarah is also one half of our unofficial content team. If there’s a new Reel to film or a trend to try, she’s usually right in the middle of it—often laughing through a few outtakes before getting the perfect shot.

Creative, thoughtful, and always ready with a smile, Sarah brings the kind of energy that makes appointments feel less like errands and more like catching up with a friend.

We’re pretty lucky she’s part of the Ivory House family.

Behind the Camera: The Two Stylists Responsible for Most of Your Feed

If you’ve ever wondered who keeps showing up in Ivory House’s Instagram Reels, here’s your answer.

Meet Cierra and Sarah: the unofficial content department.

Between appointments, you’ll often find them moving chairs to catch the best light, fluffing someone’s hair for the fifth time, or convincing another stylist to participate in “just one quick video.”

(It’s rarely just one.)

Creating content looks effortless when you’re scrolling Instagram. In reality, it usually involves several takes, lots of laughter, and someone saying, “Wait… let’s do that one more time.”

What most people don’t see is that the videos aren’t just about showing beautiful hair. They’re about sharing the personality behind Ivory House. The conversations, the creativity, the little moments that make the salon feel like more than just another appointment.

Every transformation tells a story, and social media lets us bring you along for the ride.

So the next time you hear someone excitedly yell, “Don’t move!” while you’re in the salon…

There’s a good chance another Reel is being born.

Fun Fact

The average 15-second Reel usually takes longer to film than it does to watch.

Worth it? We think so.

Meet the Team: Cierra

Every stylist has their own way of approaching hair, and Cierra’s philosophy is simple: beautiful hair should feel effortless, personal, and completely you.

Cierra loves all things color. Whether it’s bright blondes, rich brunettes, grey coverage, bold transformations, or subtle refreshes, she enjoys creating personalized color that fits each guest’s unique style. She’s also a fan of modern shag haircuts, loving the movement, texture, and individuality they bring. Her approach is never one-size-fits-all. Every appointment is customized to fit each guest’s hair, lifestyle, and maintenance goals, creating a look that’s as individual as the person wearing it.

If you’ve spent time in Cierra’s chair, you know appointments rarely revolve around just hair. She’s naturally curious and genuinely enjoys getting to know the people who sit in her chair. One conversation might turn into funny stories, another into relationships, pets, career changes, or whatever life happens to bring up that day. She believes some of the best appointments are the ones where you leave with more than beautiful hair—you leave feeling heard, refreshed, and like you just spent a few hours catching up with a friend. No two appointments are ever quite the same, and that’s exactly how she likes it.

Around Ivory House, she’s also one half of our unofficial content team. If there’s a new Reel to film or a fun trend to try, there’s a good chance Cierra and Sarah are already figuring out how to make it happen between appointments. Creativity doesn’t stop behind the chair, and they’re always dreaming up new ways to share a little behind-the-scenes life at Ivory House.

When she’s not at the salon, you’ll probably find her spending time with her German Shepherd, Cooper, working in the yard, or tackling a project around the house. She enjoys staying creative both behind the chair and behind the camera, and she’s always the first to pitch a new marketing idea or find inspiration for what’s next.

At the end of the day, Cierra’s goal is simple: to create beautiful, healthy hair while making every guest feel comfortable, cared for, and excited to come back.

Cierra’s Favorites

Known for: Personalized color, modern shag haircuts, and creating looks that fit each guest’s lifestyle.

Salon superpower: Customizing every appointment to bring out the best in each guest’s hair.

Favorite part of the job: Building genuine relationships with the people in her chair.

HOW TO GET MORE VOLUME WITHOUT TEASING YOUR HAIR

If you’ve ever thought the only way to get big, beautiful hair was by teasing it, we’re here to tell you there’s a better way.

While teasing can create temporary lift, it can also leave your hair tangled, harder to brush through, and more prone to breakage over time. At Ivory House Salon, we prefer to create volume that’s healthy, touchable, and lasts.

It all starts before you even pick up a round brush.

One of our favorite tricks is pre drying your hair upside down. As your roots begin to dry, gravity naturally encourages them to lift away from the scalp instead of drying flat against it. It might seem like a small step, but it creates the foundation for fuller hair before you even begin styling.

Next comes your tools.

The brush you use matters more than most people think. A quality blow dry brush, like the Dom Dom boar bristle brush, helps create smoothness while lifting the roots at the same time. Instead of simply drying your hair, you’re training it to hold the shape you’re creating. Investing in the right brush can make styling at home much easier and give you results that last longer.

Now for our favorite part…

Product. Product. Product.

We always tell our clients that every great style starts with a strong foundation. Even the best haircut or blowout won’t last if your hair doesn’t have the support it needs.

Before you even pick up a curling iron, your styling products are already doing the heavy lifting. They’re what help create volume, give your hair memory, and keep your style looking fresh throughout the day.

One of our go to products is Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer. We love spraying it at the roots for extra lift and through the ends to create that effortless, lived in texture. It instantly gives the hair more body without making it feel stiff, and it’s one of our favorite ways to make curls and blowouts last longer.

Once the style is finished, we lock everything in place with Davines This Is A Strong Hairspray. It provides long lasting hold while still allowing your hair to move naturally, so your style stays beautiful without feeling crunchy or overdone.

The right products don’t just finish a hairstyle. They help build it from the very beginning. That’s why we always say your style is only as good as the foundation underneath it.

One of our favorite finishing techniques is setting freshly styled sections in velcro rollers while they cool. Hair holds its shape as it cools, so leaving the rollers in for just a few minutes gives you noticeably more lift and bounce. It’s a simple trick that can make your blowout last longer and give your hair beautiful movement without teasing.

At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, Texas, we believe volume isn’t about one magic product or one secret technique. It’s about combining healthy styling habits, the right tools, and professional hair products that work together.

If you’re looking for more volume, longer lasting curls, or simply want to make your hair easier to style at home, ask your stylist during your next appointment. We’d love to show you how we use the Dom Dom boar bristle brush, Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer, and Davines This Is A Strong Hairspray behind the chair, along with personalized tips for your hair type.

Because beautiful, voluminous hair shouldn’t disappear the moment you leave the salon. With a few simple techniques and the right products, you can recreate that same fullness at home and enjoy great hair long after your appointment.

Could Davines OI Be Your New Favorite Hair Product?

If you’ve ever sat in one of our chairs at Ivory House Salon, there’s a good chance you’ve heard one of us mention Davines OI. It’s one of those products that we find ourselves reaching for over and over again because it works for so many different hair types.

So, what makes it so popular?

Davines OI All In One Milk is a lightweight leave in treatment that helps soften, detangle, reduce frizz, protect against heat, and add incredible shine without leaving your hair feeling heavy. It’s one of those rare products that simplifies your routine while making your hair look and feel healthier.

One of the things we love most about it is how versatile it is. Whether your hair is fine, thick, straight, curly, color treated, or naturally textured, OI can be adjusted to fit your needs. Fine hair may only need a few sprays, while thicker or drier hair can benefit from a little more.

If you’re someone who blow dries or heat styles your hair regularly, this product is especially worth adding to your routine. It helps protect your hair from heat while making styling easier and leaving your hair smoother and shinier. It also helps reduce frizz, which is something many of us can appreciate during a Texas summer.

Another reason our team loves Davines OI is that it doesn’t just make your hair look good for the day. With consistent use, it helps improve how your hair feels over time by supporting softness, manageability, and overall hair health.

Clients also ask us about the scent, and it’s one of the first things people notice. The fragrance is warm, clean, and luxurious without being overpowering. It’s the kind of product you’ll catch yourself smelling throughout the day.

At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, we believe great hair starts with using products that truly support your hair, not just cover up its challenges. That’s one of the reasons Davines has become such an important part of what we do behind the chair.

If you’ve been looking for a leave in conditioner, a heat protectant, or simply a way to make your hair feel softer and easier to style, Davines OI might be exactly what you’re missing.

The next time you’re in the salon, ask one of our stylists if OI is a good fit for your hair. We’ll always recommend what we genuinely believe will help you reach your hair goals, even if that’s something different.

Healthy hair doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it starts with finding one product that earns a permanent spot on your bathroom counter.

MEET JENNA, THE HEART BEHIND IVORY HOUSE SALON

Every salon has a story, and every story starts with someone who had a vision.

For Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, Texas, that person is Jenna Bien.

Jenna began her career in the beauty industry more than 15 years ago after attending Paul Mitchell in Costa Mesa, California. From there, she completed an apprenticeship under a master stylist and colorist in Newport Beach, where she developed the technical skills and attention to detail that continue to shape her work today.

She spent years behind the chair in Newport Beach, specializing in lived in color, beautiful blondes, and creating hair that’s just as practical as it is beautiful. One of Jenna’s biggest priorities has always been helping clients achieve hair they love without committing to a maintenance routine that doesn’t fit their lifestyle. She believes great hair should work for you, not the other way around.

After relocating to Dripping Springs with her husband and three daughters, Jenna saw an opportunity to create something the community didn’t yet have.

She envisioned a salon that felt elevated without feeling intimidating. A place where luxury and comfort could exist together. Somewhere clients could slow down, enjoy the experience, and leave feeling like the best version of themselves.

That vision became Ivory House Salon.

From the carefully selected Davines and Reverie products to the thoughtfully designed interior, every detail reflects Jenna’s desire to create an experience that’s both beautiful and intentional. The salon blends modern luxury with the charm that makes Dripping Springs such a special place to call home.

But what makes Ivory House truly different isn’t just the space. It’s the culture Jenna has built.

She believes in continuing education, supporting the stylists on her team, and creating an environment where both clients and professionals feel genuinely cared for. Whether it’s investing in advanced classes, bringing in new techniques, or choosing products that support healthy hair, her focus has always been on long term quality rather than quick trends.

Today, Jenna continues to work behind the chair while leading a team that shares her passion for exceptional hair and meaningful client relationships. Her goal has never been to create just another hair salon in Dripping Springs. She wanted to build a place where people feel welcomed, listened to, and confident from the moment they walk through the door.

If you’ve visited Ivory House Salon, you’ve experienced the heart behind Jenna’s vision. If you haven’t yet, we hope you’ll stop by, meet our team, and see why so many clients have made Ivory House their salon home.

Because at the end of the day, beautiful hair is only part of what we’re here to create. Our greatest hope is that every person who leaves our salon feels cared for, confident, and excited to come back.
