Lindsey Titone, owner of Hello Beautiful Salon & Boutique
The name says it all: Hello Beautiful is a friendly salon with a bonus boutique where you’ll feel right at home and leave happy. For insight on summer hair trends and what it’s like to be in the business, here’s owner Lindsey Titone.
How did you discover your passion for hair? From early on, I would always play hairstylist with my sister’s Barbies. Once I was old enough, I was helping out in our neighbor’s home salon, sweeping hair and washing perm rods. I admired her relationships with each client. I knew that one day I wanted to have clients in my chair so I could make them feel beautiful.
What’s your fashion philosophy? Be comfortable and feel beautiful! What are some summer color trends you’re loving? My favorite color trends this summer are natural shades of blondes and rose gold hues. We are using different techniques like balayage, foilyage, root smudge and babylights to help us create more natural, lived-in hair color. The most popular right now for summer is bright blondes with a deep base for a natural look and easy maintenance.
Best advice for keeping it cute when you’re outside sweating? The most important products for summer are a great leave-in conditioner, dry shampoo and salt spray. Braids are a fun way to style your hair so it looks stylish but [stays] out of your face. Salt spray will give a beach wave texture to your hair and dry shampoo is the best product to spray at your root area to extend a great blowout. Use it after the gym to save time styling your hair.

What’s been one of your favorite experiences in the business? Opening Hello Beautiful Salon and Boutique. I’ve spent many years building my clientele and focusing on my family. Then, last year, I decided it was time to follow my dream. Each client is welcome to relax and unwind with us! We’ll give you the hair you dream of and you’ll find the missing piece for your closet.
Where do you look for inspiration? I look for inspiration from other hairstylists on Instagram, Pinterest, award shows and TV. On Instagram, I love Heather Chapman, Steph Brinkman and Jenny Strebe for updos, and Behind the Chair and Modern Salon for hair color and styles.
Is there a common hair “mistake” that you see too often? The most common hair mistakes we fix are home highlighting kits. Please don’t try them at home! There is a science to highlighting hair to ensure that your hair stays healthy as you go lighter.
If you weren’t in the beauty business, what else would you do? If I weren’t a stylist, I would be teaching. I’ve had so many great mentors in this career and I’m going to share everything I’ve learned with my team.
