Hello and welcome, Hair Friends.

I’m thrilled to welcome you to Illi & Co Hair Studio, my independently owned salon in Durham. After 20 years as a professional stylist, I’ve created a space that reflects my passion for elevated hair services, personalized care, and a truly comfortable client experience. Illi & Co is named after my sweet son, Illian, who is a daily reminder of why I pour my heart into this craft and this community. My highest values are empathy, consistency, and genuine listening, and these guide every appointment. Over the years, I’ve refined my ability to understand each client’s vision and customize color and design techniques that enhance the natural beauty already in their hair. My goal is for you to feel at home, supported, and confident that you will receive results you love every time. I specialize in dimensional blondes and brunettes, corrective color, dimensional reds, lived-in luxury color, precision haircuts for all lengths, and keratin smoothing treatments. I am passionate about offering creative, personalized solutions that support your lifestyle, your hair goals, and your long-term hair health. Whether you are exploring a new look or maintaining your signature style, I am here to help. If you are an existing client or interested in becoming one, please reach out. I would love to discuss your ideas and bring your vision to life.
