Level 4 Stylist & Educator

Meet Adena M

With nine years in the industry, Adena has built her reputation on creating hair that’s anything but basic. Stylish, fun, and nurturing by nature, she specializes in edgy, customized looks—tailoring every cut, color, extension, and style so her guests leave with something uniquely their own. Her mantra? “Throw kindness around like confetti,” and she lives it daily, bringing uplifting energy to both her guests and coworkers while cheering them on at every step. A six-figure stylist, Masters of Balayage certified, and co-creator of PS Wefts, Adena has also been featured on Pulp Riot’s page for her bold color transformations. But what she’s most proud of is giving back through education, mentoring both new and seasoned stylists alike. When she’s not behind the chair, you might catch her building fun, edgy outfits, or indulging her not-so-secret obsession with Twilight (rainy day + iced coffee + sparkly vampires = her happy place). For Adena, hair is more than a look—it’s empowerment. She wants every guest to feel like their truest self, glowing with confidence and ready to take on the world.
