A little bit about moi
My name is Wren (pronounced REN)
I was born and raised within a mile of where I currently do hair 😂
When I graduated from highschool at 18, I moved to Los Angeles where I went to beauty school at Santa Monica Community College. Once I graduated from SMC with my license in cosmetology, I started working at salons that specialized in curly hair.
I worked for Ouidad salon for years, beginning as a assistant, working my way up to a stylist, and then becoming a educator/brand ambassador.
I moved back home to San Francisco 5 years ago in September.
I became an independent stylist 2 years ago and having been working alongside Noelle at @nativehairsf ever since.
I love doing what I do. Between being creative, making people feel beautiful, and getting to talk with amazing people every day… I am NEVER BORED. I am always inspired ✨
Ugh he’s the best 😭! MEN: send her that hair cut or nail 💰 for Mother’s Day, cause she deserves it!!
Curly cut always done by the absolute best and sweetest gal @wrensimone 🫶🏽
My fun and funky sanctuary that I have been nesting in and taking my clients as I finish my last trimester of pregnancy 🥰
It is such a full circle moment to do hair here at the Project Artaud. Those who knew me in my youth and know about my contortion (Bendi Wrendi 😂) years, may know that I actually would perform at the Theater Artaud, which is now known as Z SPACE. I have such fond memories here, and it just seems like it’s perfect to be in this space as I finish up my pregnancy. Surrounded by art, creatives, beautiful light and such positive energy. I love it and love hosting my clients here 🥰
Also so grateful to my clients for being so flexible and so positive and encouraging during this move 💕🥹✨ Though this is a temporary salon home, I have such big dreams and such exciting things planned for when I return from my maternity leave :)
Though I have been booked up solid for months now, if you have reached out to me to get you in and I haven’t replied, please continue to be patient with me, doing my best to get everyone in while also putting my pregnancy first and trying to not overwork myself. Please continue to check my website for cancellations! They do happen from time to time!
I also have a waitlist. (It’s lengthy, but worth the shot)
PLUS I will be shouting out last min cancellations on my stories… as always… first come first serve for those….so stay tuned to those as well!
Again - Thank you all 🥰 this really is the most amazing time for me and I’m so excited as I get closer everyday to meeting my Mila girl 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍
Growing you my love has been such a treat. Even that first trimester! I already can’t get you out of my head and already have never loved anyone or anything harder. Love has an entirely new meaning. Your daddy and I talk about you non stop. Your grandparents all can’t wait to spoil you, your aunties and uncles can’t wait to take you and love on you, and everyone I have told about you is already in complete awe of you. Your mama can’t be more proud of you for every heartbeat, for every kick, for every pose you hit at your ultrasound appointments! So much love I feel for you, which also comes with so much protection! The mamabear in me has already been unleashed a few times, and I can only imagine how protective I will be when you’re here in my arms. Though I have gotten vicious at people and have seen a side of myself that I didn’t know existed, you have also given me so much strength, a lot of patience, and have shown me a deeper and more gentle way of caring for those around me.
At times I want to shut down, and I can’t. You are here now and protecting you means I have to keep going, and keep going with strength and perseverance.
The world has been a very cruel place, and events that have transpired even since me finding out about you, they bring me to a whole new place of sadness cause I can’t bare the thought of the world treating you cruel. Even though I do find myself in absolute states of baby bliss the majority of the time, I can’t help but worry. Not to mention seeing your grandma (or Ama she wants you to call her) go through 2 hospitalizations in the short time you have been growing in me. It makes me beyond sad and scared, but for you my love, I stay positive. I remember your Ama is strong, your mama is strong, and YOU my love will be strong too 💕

My ℬℯ𝒶𝓊𝓉𝒾𝒻𝓊𝓁 𝒢𝒾𝒻𝓉. You are not even here yet and you are so loved my sweet baby. You are already the coolest little baby, you’ve been out in Miami, you saw T-Pain and Sean Paul, you saw your uncle get married in Sedona, you been to Lucha Libre, the list goes on and on. You light up my path, and bring so much joy and excitement, wonder and hope everywhere we go! The world isn’t ready for all that you are bringing. You are an absolute gift all wrapped up in the most beautiful bow, and our most special treasure. Your dad and I will love you unconditionally and give you our absolute everything.
My first trimester was absolute CHAOS!!!! It was at its peak for holiday season… I lost about 15 pounds in under 2 months. Even through that, and working behind the chair the whole time, I took a lot of solace in the wives tale, ‘the sicker you are in your first trimester, the healthier your baby’. I would give anything for you already. And though I have never been so depleted and exhausted in my life, I knew you were entirely worth it, and every time I puked, or every time I had to force down a saltine cracker, or get up to a fully booked day at the salon, I just imagined you going from a blueberry to a raspberry. (Clients…. If I saw you mid November - mid January and I made any faces during your service / looked like absolute crap / acted funny / made a b line to the bathroom…. Sorry!)
(Part 2 to come ✨)
Took my angel baby @friiscofemale back to being a redhead and brought back her beautiful layers!!! I’m so excited for my little Daisy love to continue flourishing in her life with this hairstyle :)
PS My next client who came in asked if that was her natural color 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I think Daisy was meant to be a red head

By giving my client face framing layers and long layers throughout her haircut, we were able to preserve length while still giving her a gorgeous shape!
