Meet The Owner & Master Stylist - Hollie Haskins

With a lifelong passion for beauty and fashion, Hollie Haskins, owner of Session, has always known the hair industry was her true calling. Rooted in small-town Kansas and enriched by her global travel experiences, Hollie was inspired to blend the best of both worlds, creating a salon that embodies a “Paris of the Plains” ambiance.

As a National Educator for L’Oréal Professionnel, Hollie has had the privilege of sharing the stage and classroom with some of the industry’s most renowned hairdressers. She continues to inspire and educate stylists nationwide, traveling across the country to teach at L’Oréal’s Academy, in salons, and on stage. Hollie’s mission is to encourage fellow hairdressers to learn, grow, and master their craft. In 2024, Hollie was invited into L’Oréal’s Research & Innovation Labs, where she contributed valuable feedback to shape the future of product development in the industry.

Certified in Balayage by L’Oréal Professionnel, Hollie specializes in creating custom, dimensional color that complements your unique eye color, face shape, and skin tone. She provides personalized recommendations to ensure your hair not only looks amazing but also suits your lifestyle. Hollie is also certified and specializes in a variety of extension methods and offers personalized consultations to help you select the perfect solution for your hair goals and beauty budget.

When you sit in Hollie’s chair, you can expect a VIP experience. Not only will Hollie design bespoke color or extensions tailored to you, but her associate and Richard will assist with shampooing, haircuts, and blowouts, making your visit feel luxurious and seamless from start to finish.

As Hollie transitions to working just two days a week behind the chair, she wants you to know that if you’re unable to secure an appointment with her, she’s more than happy to personally recommend one of the other talented Session stylists. Since opening Session in 2020, Hollie has made it a priority to nurture and grow her entire team, ensuring that every client receives exceptional service, no matter which stylist they see.
