Owner | Master Stylist | Rogue Hairstylist
Before she was a licensed cosmetologist, Donna had her hands in the fashion industry at the age of 20, traveling to New York City and Vegas as a buyer for a fashion forward clothing boutique in Baltimore. During this time she developed a love for hair working below Geometrics, the salon that styled the hair of the infamous John Waters films. After spending time in the fashion industry, and around people in the movie and hair industry, naturally she became obsessed with wanting to do hair herself.
Graduating cosmetology school in 2004, Donna excelled in hair artistry with natural talent and advanced training by Redken Artists, allowing her to quickly build a following. Working in an exclusive, high end Redken salon for some time, she then went on to work at a private, award winning salon on the waterfront in Baltimore City. During her time there, she was taught advanced Wella color techniques and continued her education by attending multiple classes, constantly improving her techniques. When not at the salon, she kept busy styling hair for photoshoots and fashion shows as well as juggling multiple side projects that would expand her experience as an artist and a business woman.
After working for a private salon for some time, she branched off and launched her own company 4TEN Media, allowing her the freedom to work on video and photo shoots. This took her creativity to the next level and taught her how to bring out the best in her client's image. During her travels from California back to Maryland, she decided the next step in her evolution as an artist was to open a salon, and thus, Saint Salon was born, to serve people that want to not only look their best, but feel their best as well.
Donna opened Saint Salon in Harford County serve a community that lacked advanced cutting and coloring techniques found in high end, city salons. Having been a Baltimore hair stylist her whole career, she decided to create her salon a bit north of the city to extend salon culture to those desperately in need of something current and fresh.
When Donna is not behind the chair and educating other stylists on advanced cutting, coloring, and marketing techniques, you can find her training her AKC Boston Terrier for the show ring. She is a seafarer and, during the warm months, you can find her on her cabin cruiser boat on the Chesapeake Bay.

Stylist
My passion for the beauty industry started at a young age with makeup and eventually that led to my 2 year apprenticeship in 2017 to get my cosmetology license. I absolutely love meeting new people and getting a feel for their personal taste and style so I can make them feel like the best version of themselves.
Lived in color and balayage is my specialty. I love getting my hands in long hair. When you are in my chair you have my undivided attention from start to finish as I craft your vision with my expertise.

"Hi! My name is Scarlett, and I’ve had a passion for all things beauty-related from a very young age, so beauty school was the path for me! I completed the cosmetology program at Aveda in February 2023. I’m here at Saint Salon to continue to grow and learn as a new stylist. I constantly love to switch up my style, from my hair to what I wear. I would love to help you experiment with different hairstyles and colors, as I love to do!
Anything fun and funky is up my alley. My hair has been almost every color under the sun! I love to create vibrant, fantasy-inspired hair colors and looks.

"Hey, gorgeous! I’m Shalva! I was born and raised in Baltimore, and graduated from beauty school in 2018. I have never been more in love with my clients or my craft. My specialities are vivids/fantasy color, hidden hand tied extensions, and balayages, but am more than happy to do any hair services you desire. Hair has been my passion since I was 5 years old. The first time I FINALLY was able to get my hair colored at 16 I felt like I could fly! I could finally stand out and show my individuality to the world. The confidence it gave me was something I had never experienced before, and that is the exact feeling I strive for my clients to feel after being in my chair.
In my free time I enjoy spending quality time with my girlfriend. We love our vacations, going to soundbaths, and getting massages. Self-care is key! I get to spread love and positivity in my community by giving free monthly haircuts at Charm City Care Connection. They are a resource and drop in center for folks who are affected by homelessness and addiction in Baltimore City. Everyone deserves to feel good and taken care of. That’s why I love what I do! Can’t wait to see you in my chair!"
