About

Briana McGowan is the owner and artist at Bhive Salon, specializing in dreadlocks. She practiced interior design for about ten years before returning to school to become a hairdresser, and she has a career of about 15 years in hair in the 757 area. Her earlier study was in interior architecture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Her work covers short haircuts, gender affirming haircuts, long mermaid cuts and curly cuts. In color she focuses on grey blending and creative block coloring. She installs real and faux locs on any hair type over five inches long, and for many clients she can extend hair with dreadlocks on the first day, when permanent attachment can be assured based on hair type.

She asks for a consultation before color or new dreadlocks, and haircuts are done dry. She has a long-standing loyal clientele and takes on new clients when she is able. Bookings are made by text at 757-266-0427, with a request that includes a name and photos.

Approach
Her holistic dreadlock method is one she has taught in person for about ten years.
