DASH Men’s Grooming was built on friendship, shared vision, and two complementary career paths that came together at the perfect time.

Danielle and Amy first met at Paul Mitchell, where they quickly became best friends. Even from the beginning, their passions naturally split in two directions. Danielle gravitated toward men’s grooming and precision cutting, while Amy dove into women’s styling and color. What they didn’t know then was that their different paths would eventually blend into the perfect foundation for DASH.

Over the years, both worked across multiple salon environments, gaining the kind of experience you can only earn by doing it all.

• Danielle spent time as an assistant, handled administrative duties in high school, worked in a commission salon, and eventually built a thriving business in her own salon suite.

• Amy mastered every side of the industry: working in commission salons, running her own salon suite, and eventually transitioning into booth rent. Through each phase, she developed a deep understanding of how different salon structures operate, what stylists need to succeed, and what creates a healthy, supportive work environment.

After years of personal and professional growth, they realized their combined strengths created the perfect balance.

Danielle thrives behind the chair and brings creativity, technique, and client experience to the core of DASH.

Amy excels behind the scenes: operations, systems, organization, finances, and is now stepping away from behind the chair to focus fully on back-of-house operations and stylist support. Her background in every salon structure gives her a rare, well-rounded insight that will help every stylist at DASH feel guided, supported, and set up for success.

Together, they designed DASH to be more than a barbershop.

It’s a space built with intention, where clients feel taken care of and where stylists have the structure, leadership, and community they need to grow. Their opposite but complementary strengths make DASH a place where talent, business, culture, and creativity all meet under one roof.

DASH isn’t just a shop, it’s the product of friendship, hard work, shared dreams, and two career paths that complete each other.
