Stephanie Koontz has spent 13 years behind the chair and the last three of them at Del Sol in Huntington Beach. She specializes in soft, blended brunette and blonde color, the kind that grows out beautifully and still gets compliments months after the appointment.

Her work is natural, sun-kissed, and lived-in. Stephanie works with Genius Weft, K-Tip, and I-Tip extensions, and brings the same attention to blending and placement to her long layered cuts as she does to her color work.

What her clients notice most is how easy she is to talk to.

Stephanie runs her appointments like she's doing a friend's hair, casual, communicative, and always making sure you understand exactly what's happening and why.

For her, a client feeling comfortable and confident in the chair is just as important as the result.
