For five years, Makenna has been part of the team at Serenity Couture, welcoming guests into her chair and creating hair that feels personal, fresh, and confidence-boosting.
As a hairstylist in West Des Moines, she brings a mix of creativity and genuine care to every appointment, something that’s felt in both the finished look and the experience itself.
Makenna didn’t always know she would become a stylist. Her introduction to the industry began at the front desk, where she saw how stylists engaged with guests and the care that went into every appointment. It didn’t take long before she knew she wanted to be behind the chair herself.
“I never knew how much I would enjoy doing hair. I realized that I really like helping people, and now I get to help people feel beautiful every day.”
Seeing the impact that thoughtful, personalized service could have on guests inspired the way she approaches every appointment.
For Makenna, every day behind the chair brings something new. She loves getting to know her guests and tailoring each appointment to their individual style and needs.
"My favorite day behind the chair is getting to know all of my clients and really being able to personalize what they want," she says.
That focus on personalization is especially evident in her love for color services. As a hairstylist in West Des Moines, she enjoys creating customized color that feels thoughtfully tailored to each guest.
“It’s super fun to be able to personalize something for each client. Everyone wants something different, so it’s fun to be a little bit creative and be able to change it up for every person.”
She also enjoys layered cuts and styles that create volume and movement — looks that feel fresh, effortless, and uniquely suited to the individual wearing them.
Being part of the Serenity Couture team means constantly learning and evolving. Watching her coworkers grow in their craft motivates Makenna to continue refining her own skills and staying inspired.
That shared commitment to growth is part of what makes the salon environment so special.
Over the years, one lesson has stood out to her:
“Keep going, even when you make mistakes. You’re going to learn from them. Every time you do something, you’re going to get better.”
It’s a perspective that keeps her focused, motivated, and always striving to deliver her best work.
