Meet Your Stylists


Dashie El Hallak | Owner & Stylist | @dashie_abduli

Hi, I’m Dashie, owner of Meraki Beauty Room. I’ve been behind the chair since 2006 and opened my salon in 2020 with the vision of creating a space rooted in passion, creativity, and connection. Known for my outgoing personality, I specialize in razor bobs and a wide range of customized color services. When I’m not in the salon, you’ll find me at home with my two kids and loving husband—cooking, decorating, or enjoying quality time with friends over coffee.

Andrea | Stylist

Hi, I’m Andrea—so nice to meet you. It’s an honor to be part of your hair journey and create a look that truly reflects you. I’ve been passionate about color, texture, and individuality since a young age and began my career in 1996, learning from incredible mentors along the way. I focus on technical precision, attention to detail, and truly listening to create styles that feel authentic. Outside the salon, I enjoy time outdoors with my family, animals, yoga, cooking, and all things art, music, and fashion.

Kendall | Stylist

Hi, I’m Kendall & I have been in the salon since March of 2025! I’m all about creating effortless, feel-good hair — think long layers, bronding, and that dreamy lived-in color you can’t get enough of. I’m here to give you hair that turns heads but still feels so you. Expect chill vibes, good convo, and that post-salon confidence glow. When I’m not in the salon, you can find me shopping, enjoying Starbucks or talking about my dogs!

Kyleigh Westlin | Stylist

I’m Kyleigh Westlin! I graduated from cosmetology school in Colorado, where I discovered my passion for creating soft, natural, dimensional color, gorgeous blowouts, and custom cuts for every length—from short and chic to long and flowing. I love helping my clients feel confident, fresh, and truly themselves. When I’m not in the salon, you can find me reading, working out, or thrifting for hidden gems. I can’t wait to meet you and have you in my chair

Rylie | Stylist

Hi, I’m Rylie. I create effortless-looking hair that’s anything but accidental. I specialize in lived-in blondes, rich reds, and customized cuts—from soft layers to bangs that truly complement your features. Reds have my heart, and I love helping clients find shades that feel bold, modern, and wearable. Blowouts are my thing, details matter, and I never cut corners. High standards. Elevated results. Hair that speaks for itself. When I’m not behind the chair, I value balance and self care — slow mornings, cozy nights in, and travel, all while bringing energy and personality into everything I do.

Shea | Stylist

Hi, I’m Shea. I started my career in 2023 and have spent the years since refining my technique to deliver elevated, confidence-boosting results. I specialize in hand-tied extensions, creating the most natural look and feel, along with seamless color, layered cuts, and fully customized transformations. When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me making music, traveling, visiting family in California, or relaxing at home with my dog, Willow. I can’t wait to have you in my chair and give you an experience that feels just as good as the results.
