I'm Karley! I've been a Washingtonian since birth! I am driven and passionate about everything I do! Working at Studio H is an absolute JOY and one of my greatest blessings. Being surrounded by such a strong group of women who champion each other in all they do has been incredibly special to be a part of. When I am not working, I am spending time with my husband, my family, reading a good book, or working on my photography business that I licensed back in 2020! Along with being the manager at Studio H, I also have the pleasure of running our social media accounts and photographing all the magic behind the scenes!

Level Three Stylist
Specialities: "Lived-in" Color/Cuts/Extensions
​
Hi! I'm Damaris aka @dama.beauty - I have been doing hair for four years. I started my career working at a salon in an assisted living facility and loved working with the older folks, but decided I wanted to specialize in color. I started working at Studio H in their amazing associates program and soon I was on the floor ready to start taking my own clients! Since then, I've been certified as a Redken Specialist as well as Redken Hair Color Authority. I truly enjoy big transformations and creating beautiful lived-in balayages which is why I've also become a Certified Balayage Master! If I'm not in the salon, you'll probably find me exploring the world, learning about new cultures, and admiring the new places. I also love being home with two fur babies! I can't wait to meet you and learn more about you while you're in my chair!

Hi! My name is Halee Morrison. I grew up in the Maple Valley area, and just recently graduated from Gene Juarez Academy in November 2023. Growing up, my grandma was in the beauty industry and I've always loved watching her help people look and feel their best! She inspired me to want to do the same. At home I have 3 doggies - Tucker (Yorkie Pomeranian), Schatzi (Golden Doodle), and Betsy (Bernese Mountain Doodle). In my free time I like to spend time with my family, watch movies, and have game nights! I'm looking forward to meeting you guys behind the chair!

Front Desk Coordinator
​
Hey, I'm Anastasiia! I was born and raised in Siberia, and moved to Washington State by myself at the end of 2022. Despite being pretty new here, I already have a pleasant feeling that I've put down my roots. I've found real friends whom I can trust, new places that inspire me, and a cool job where I'm surrounded by professional and passionate people. Before I moved here I had been working as a web designer remotely and traveled a lot. I started to learn English diligently in London, UK in 2019 so I have a pretty weird combo of different accents. In my free time I'm exploring PNW hikes with my friends, and working on my motion graphic design portfolio.

A little about me: I was born and raised in the Evergreen state. I've always enjoyed the natural area around so I am always trying to find cool places to camp or watch the sunrises/sunsets. I spend most of my free time with friends, family, or enjoying the outdoors. I started my job at Studio H hoping it would help me figure out if I would like to pursue aa career in the beauty industry as it has always been a thought!
