About Haven Salon
Our Story
Haven Salon opened in August of 2025 by Lisa Atkins, with the vision of creating a salon to be the most trusted, comfortable, + elevated salon in our community where every client feels confident + relaxed, every stylist is supported + thrives, and the experience is like no other. After 19 years of being behind the chair, Lisa had searched for a salon with this culture but couldn't find exactly what she was looking for. In June of 2026, the 311 E Street location became available and once Lisa stepped foot inside, the vision began to take hold. Piece by piece, she could see where the stylist chairs would go, what type of mirrors would be placed on the walls, how plants would bring life to the space, and the added accents to create a modern look. After one week of planning and a grounding trip to Zion National Park, Lisa signed the lease for the salon space. Within one month of renovations, Haven Salon opened its doors, and in January 2026 it began welcoming other stylists to their new salon home.
Our Vision + Values
Here at Haven Salon, we value integrity, growth, comfort, respect, cleanliness, and collaboration. Our salon hosts a collective of independent stylists who deliver an elevated experience with a welcoming professionalism, attention to detail, and understand the importance of self care.
What Makes Haven Salon Different
The first thing you will notice is that the salon is spacious. Each styling station is spaced out so that clients and stylists feel comfortable. Gone are the days of crapped salons, with so much chatter, you can't hear yourself think. The second thing you may notice is all of the plants. Almost all of our plants are alive and help clean the air inside the salon. Our stylists are independent but work cohesively side by side, supporting one another in our positive and supportive environment. When you step foot in the salon you can feel the energy, you will feel welcome and in our stylist's chairs, you can relax and get comfortable. Here, your comfort is our priority. Help yourself to the beverage and snack bar at the front of the salon. The drawer to the left contains various teas and coffee pods while the middle drawer contains a variety of snacks. You may also request a mimosa or a heating pad for your chair during your appointment. And let's not forget the comfortable shampoo bowls that have neck and head support, as well as a reclining foot rest.

Do you take walk ins?
Haven Salon is by appointment only
How far in advance should I book a color appointment?
This varies depending on the week and stylist. Typically, you should look for an appointment a week before, but on occasion, you can book an appointment for the next day if there is a cancellation.
How do I book an appointment?
Since our hairstylists are independent, each one manages their own booking process. If you go to your selected stylist's page, there will be buttons indicating how that stylist can be contacted. Most of our stylists have a book now button that will take you directly to their booking site.
Should I wash my hair before a color service?
Yes! Clean hair allows for a smoother application and an even color. We do ask that your hair is mostly dry when you arrive so we do not need to adjust service timing and pricing.
How much notice is required to cancel an appointment and avoid a fee?
Each stylist may have a different policy, but a general rule of thumb is 24 hours notice.
Can I bring my children to my appointment?
We suggest making other arrangements for your little one but we understand that care may be difficult to find. We want you and all of our guest to fully enjoy a peaceful experience. If you do bring them, we ask that you keep your eye on them to make sure they are in safe areas, away from chemicals and sharp objects like scissors. Bringing something for them to do quietly can help occupy them during your service. Though out the day, our stylists are holding scissors and it can be unsafe for a child to run through the salon so please keep others and your child's safety in mind.
