Meet the Team: Sarah
IVORY HOUSE SALON | DRIPPING SPRINGS HAIR SALON
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.

Things That Secretly Make Your Hairstylist’s Day
There are a lot of little moments throughout the day that make us smile.
Some probably wouldn’t surprise you.
Others might.
Here are a few of our favorites.
“Do whatever you think.”
Not because we want unlimited creative freedom…
But because it tells us you trust us.
And that’s something we never take for granted.
When you genuinely love your hair.
There’s nothing better than watching someone smile at themselves in the mirror.
It’s why we do what we do.
When you send us a selfie a week later.
Bonus points if the caption says,
“I still love it.”
When you tell your friends about us.
Word of mouth has always been one of the biggest compliments we can receive.
Knowing you’d recommend us to someone you care about means everything.
When you leave a review.
This one deserves its own section.
Every Google and Yelp review helps another person decide to walk through our doors.
They’re more than stars on a screen.
They’re stories.
They’re encouragement after a long day.
They’re reminders that the little details we care about are being noticed.
And for a small business, they make a bigger difference than most people realize.
If you’ve ever thought,
“I should leave them a review…”
Consider this your friendly reminder.
We read every single one.
And yes…
Sometimes they absolutely make our day.

Behind the Camera: The Two Stylists Responsible for Most of Your Feed
IVORY HOUSE SALON | DRIPPING SPRINGS HAIR SALON
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
IVORY HOUSE SALON | DRIPPING SPRINGS HAIR SALON STYLIST
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.

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.
GRAND OPENING
Ivory House Salon hosted its grand opening in Dripping Springs with a full day of clients, friends, family, and neighbors coming through the space.
Local vendors Milk + Honey and Bygone Bolos were also part of the day, adding to the experience for guests throughout the salon.
It was a busy, steady opening that gave a clear look at the salon in action and the community around it.
OUR STYLIST PHOTOSHOOT
Ivory House Salon recently did a stylist photoshoot, and it was one of those days that felt easy, fun, and very “us.”
It wasn’t about stiff poses or overdone setups. It was just our team together, in our element, showing the faces and personalities behind the work we do every day behind the chair.
What came through most was the energy—how everyone shows up differently, but still fits together as a team. The laughs between shots, the little candid moments, and the confidence that comes from doing what we love made the whole thing feel natural.
At the end of the day, it was a reminder that Ivory House is really about the people in it. The stylists, the connection, and the way we all contribute to the space in our own way.
THE CREATION OF IVORY HOUSE SALON
Ivory House Salon was created in Dripping Springs, Texas with a simple intention: to build a space that feels as good as it looks. A salon that isn’t rushed, overly chaotic, or impersonal but one where clients can slow down, feel cared for, and trust the process.
From the beginning, Ivory House was shaped around the idea that hair is personal. It’s not just about services on a menu, it’s about the experience sitting in the chair, the conversation, the energy in the room, and the confidence you leave with. Every detail was chosen to support that, soft intentional design, a welcoming atmosphere, and a focus on genuine connection.
The name itself reflects the vision: “Ivory” for something clean, elevated, and timeless and “House” for warmth, familiarity, and belonging. The goal was to create a place that feels like both, a refined space that still feels like home.
Now rooted in Dripping Springs, Texas, Ivory House continues to grow, but the heart behind it stays the same: thoughtful work, meaningful relationships, and an environment where people feel seen, comfortable, and confident every time they walk in.
