Shannon, our most fun loving team member, with the most contagious laugh, began her career at Canvas in 2015 after following her dream to become a hairstylist. She relocated to Denver for a couple of years where she continued to hone her skills and become the incredible artist she is today! When she returned to Canvas in 2019, we were beyond thrilled to welcome her back. Shannon is a master artist and creator! She took over Canvas in 2024 and rebranded as Canvas on King. She executes beautiful balayage and color blending. Whether you’re looking for a natural color placement, or bold dimension, Shannon is your girl! Her eye for detail is sharp, so don’t be afraid to bring inspo pictures with you to your appointment.

Marie found herself behind the chair after a chance meeting with a salon owner in the sushi bar during her college days. Graduating from the College of Charleston with a degree in psychology, she headed straight to cosmetology school to pursue her dream. Her continued education with Oribe, Redken, Loreal and Paul Mitchell has kept her on the cutting edge of styling hair. She has been putting her creative talents to work since 2003 and loving every minute of it! Marie has built her strong clientele over the years by creating lasting relationships. She believes that putting a creative plan into action helps build trust between stylist and client. Marie says “applying my creativity in a very systematic way has always been my approach to hair. I like systems and consistency!” Being able to re-create her work, if her client desires, is extremely important to her. When she’s not in the salon, she is soaking up family time with her husband Dan and their children Olivia and Isaac.
