Hi there! I'm Ann Shepich, a fine hair, scalp health, and hair loss specialist and makeup artist serving the areas in and around Kalamazoo, Michigan.
As a creative person, I know what it's like to pour yourself into a project, and the need to replenish yourself afterward by letting yourself be taken care of. As a fiercely caring person, I love making people feel better, which is so important for those suffering from scalp issues and hair loss. As a fantasy role-playing nerd, I can listen deeply and support your plans, whether they be keeping to the path or forging a new one. I have designed the experience in my chair in a way that will nurture your soul and uplift your spirit.
I have been a hair stylist since 2008, and a wedding makeup artist since 2013. I care deeply for my guests and I take mental health very seriously, so don't hesitate to ask for anything, including a silent appointment. I also strive to make my chair a safe, positive, judgment-free space for everyone regardless of gender expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, body shape, size, or ability.
I love helping folks find custom solutions to hair loss and scalp disorders. Think dandruff, dry scalp, psoriasis, and more. I use a detailed consultation system including microscopic photos of your scalp to determine the "root" of the problem. Along with a thorough consultation, I also use intuition to guide me through caring for you. If you like, you can pull a tarot card to reflect on during your service.
When I'm not in the salon, you'll likely find me with my husband, daughter, and dog, relaxing at home. We love to travel, especially to historic and spooky places! I'm also an avid reader, cross stitcher, D&D (and other ttrpg) player, and a lover of all things weird and paranormal.
I look forward to guiding you to a custom solution for your hair and scalp.

Wow! Ann nailed it with my hair color and super fun pixie cut!! I’m so excited to have found her & I can’t wait to try some vivid with her! Super cozy salon, everyone was great. 10/10!!

Absolutely love this place. The space is beautiful and relaxing. I’m always nervous when looking for a new stylist since white platinum hair isn’t easy, but I lucked out when I found Ann! She does an amazing job with my color and keeping it healthy through the process. Definitely recommend!

I appreciate Ann's approach to coloring and styling my hair. You can tell it is a passion for her, and I feel so very welcome when I'm sitting in her chair. She takes the time to get to know you & your hair, and really cares about her clients. I'm very indecisive & I enjoy giving her free reign, and she never disappoints.
