ABOUT US

In 2015 I was able to create the beautiful space that is — Starling Hair and Beauty. Holding true to my vision, we offer clients a high standard of excellence and skill in an approachable yet sophisticated setting.

 

We all share the same intense passion for hair design supported by
years of experience and training.

 

The name Starling came from my deep love of nature and how it constantly fuels my inspiration. Starlings are a city bird and move together in a magical, fluid way that is ever-changing.

 

I welcome you to join us for the best hair experience possible. 

 

Fondly,

Mary Dolan & the Starling team
