Taylor Blades

Salon owner | Natural Beaded Row artist

Hi Beauties!
As you know, my name is Taylor Blades and I’m the owner of Blades Styling. I was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona, where I’m happy to call my salon home. I have been a stylist for eleven years and fell in love with hair extensions the second I started school. There is something about the transformation and making women feel empowered, beautiful, and confident that I can’t get enough of. I have invested in myself, my future and in YOU to better my craft as an extension specialist and became Natural Beaded Row certified. Four years later, I pour my heart into continuing to further my education and to provide my clients with the best experience possible. Come visit Blades Styling and be treated like the queen you’ve always deserved to be.

Color & extension artist

Hi Yall!
My name is Kenna Bandura. I was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona. I have always loved doing my hair so I decided to take a leap and go to Toni and Guy Hair Academy. I fell in love with coloring and always dreamed of doing Natural Beaded Row extensions! I love connecting with each client and making them feel special, and I wanted to give other women the satisfaction and confidence with the hair of their dreams. I decided to work with Taylor at Blades Styling because I loved her work and knew I could learn and grow so much. Working alongside Taylor has been everything I have dreamed of and more! I am so excited to continue this journey and grow my career.

Hey girls!

Color & extension specialist

Hey! I’m Ashlee, I’m married to the love of my life, joey and a mom of 2 rowdy boys- Brayton & Kaeven! I’m an avid reader of all things thriller, I’m coffee obsessed & a planet lover. I’ve been in the hair industry for 10 years, my favorite thing to do is colors & extensions because i love the confidence it gives women daily. A fun fact about me is that I couldn’t sew & had zero desire to learn until I took my first extension class. I chose to work at Blades Styling because I wanted to elevate my career with continued education all while building unmatched bonds within the industry. If you love good vibes & pretty hair I would love to have you in my chair!

See you soon!
