Sara is an absolute gem in the Harper Ellis Hair Co. family, and we’re obsessed with everything she’s bringing to the table—from her transformative touch behind the chair to her endless inspiration. Let’s dive into her story and celebrate the magic she’s creating!
Where the Magic Happens
You’ll find Sara working her hair wizardry at MTHD Hair Co in Leawood, KS. This salon is a hub for creativity, and Sara fits right in with her ability to create custom looks that make her clients feel like their best selves. Keep up with her on Instagram at @goodehairday and the salon at @MTHDHAIRCO—trust us, her transformations will blow you away.
Transformations That Hit Home
Sara’s heart is in every transformation she does, and each one holds a special place for her. Recently, she received a heartfelt note from a client thanking her for helping them feel confident and seen. THAT is what it’s all about—giving people the confidence to shine. Sara says it best:
“Knowing I chose to add something to my toolbox that can do that for someone? It’s pretty special!”
We couldn’t agree more.
What Fuels Her Fire
How does Sara stay so inspired? By surrounding herself with amazing, like-minded stylists and friends who constantly uplift and motivate her. She knows the power of being in a room full of go-getters and pours that energy right back into her work—and into others chasing their dreams. That kind of vibe is unmatched.
Industry Icons
Sara is all about learning from the best, and one stylist who’s left a huge impression on her is Brandie Campbell (@brandie.hairandco). Watching Brandie’s work keeps Sara inspired and ready to push the boundaries of her craft.
Salon Life Vibes
For Sara, setting the right mood is a must. Her salon soundtrack leans toward an indie mix—until she needs a vibe check and switches it up! Add a cup of coffee (always), a mid-day fizzy drink, her Dyson dryer, and her trusty Harper Ellis Hair Stand Styler, and Sara is ready to slay all day.
Why Harper Ellis?
Sara joined Harper Ellis in early 2022, and it was a total game-changer. Post-pandemic, she was looking for something to elevate her career—and Harper Ellis delivered. In her words:
“I’ve made an incredible amount of growth since starting—personally, professionally, and financially. The support and community are unmatched. I’ve truly made friends for a lifetime!”
That’s what we love to hear, Sara!
Advice for Her Younger Self
Sara’s words of wisdom? Change is scary, but it’s worth it. Put in the work, make the sacrifices, and save for the future. That advice is solid gold for stylists at any stage of their journey.
Dream Client
If Sara could style anyone, it would be Lainey Wilson. Picture her signature waves with Sara’s dimensional bronde touch... we’re obsessed already.
