About Us
Stephanie MARIA Austin.(Owner)
I’m a lady of many names. Stephanie is my legal name, Maria is my work name and Honey is my nickname. I have been a licensed hairstylist since 2007. I am the youngest girl of 6 kids. I have 3 older sisters and 2 younger brothers. I was born and raised in Bremerton. I have had a passion about hair since I was in high school. I am married to a Barber from Florida named Chase who owns his shop on Bay st. and we have 4 wild dogs! I love to do transformations, fashion colors, and short haircuts. I don’t “specialize” in one thing because I love it all and I put my heart and soul in every head I work on. I worked 13 years as a stylist at a commission salon and in 2020 I had the opportunity to open Salon Virtue. Blood, sweat, and tears went into it and with the help of family, friend, and loved ones, our dreams came true!
