Marlie Allen has been behind the chair since 2019, the last two of which she's spent at Del Sol in Huntington Beach. She specializes in custom color — particularly color transformations and lived-in blonding — and works with I-Tip extensions.

What sets her apart is her range. Marlie doesn't box herself into one niche — she works with different hair types and goals, and brings the same level of care whether it's a dramatic transformation or a subtle refresh. She also believes in the impact of a great haircut — the soft layering and shape that makes a color service feel truly complete.

Communication is at the center of how she works. Every new client gets a real conversation before anything starts — because for Marlie, confidence in the plan matters as much as the result.
