The Blonde : Allyson Wyld

The makings of my career began while attending VCU.  Deliberating over what to major in, my father asked me, "What's your passion?"  Naturally, I replied "hair!" 

I met The Brunette when I was 19 years old during my apprenticeship at Beyond The Fringe.  I followed her to Tanglz (now Body2Soul) where I continued to improve my skills within our industry.  I continue my education at every opportunity I can--  I trained in London, Minneapolis, New York, and Washington, DC.  I am a certified Aveda hair color educator.  Continuing education has always been very important to me.

In 2005, I decided to take a leap and open Wyldology Salon.  It was an incredible learning experience that was filled with friendship, hard work, and big dreams.  It is still a great success and a legacy to be proud of.

Everything comes full circle and in 2013, Alison and I joined forces to open up The Blonde and The Brunette.  Our vision is to provide outstanding service in a relaxed environment.  I am able to focus on every detail to create fresh new looks so you can feel beautiful and confident every day!

Since simplifying my workspace, I am learning not to take life so seriously!  I enjoy spending time with my dog, catching up with friends, laughing until my sides hurt, exercising, cooking, and road trips to Deltaville to see my family!
