Our goal is to be different than any other salon experience prior to coming to Eight Six Zero.

We aspire to be a spark of inspiration for people and anyone who our salon reaches. We want to feel expensive and luxurious without being uptight and… you know the rest ;). This is a space for people to feel themselves, to feel loved, and empowered. Our job is to enhance their natural beauty and to never diminish or cover it up.
The dream of Eight Six Zero was imagined in 2016, when Payten [Owner of Eight Six Zero Salon] was 19 years old and fresh in cosmo school. In her small kitchen at home She would ask friends and family to let her practice after school all the new techniques she was learning. Scary right? Well… their sacrifice of having great hair slowly paid of because in 2020, that vision came to life. Through a year of pandemic, stress, and not knowing what the future held, she got a call that would change the course of her life- forever. Why Eight Six Zero? The name came from the house number of her childhood home where she was given the opportunity to make her dreams a reality. The name of the salon is directly an appreciation to those who believed in her future and wanting to honor their sacrifice to help her grow.
Now that all the mushy stuff is out of the way, Let’s chat–
