I started Penelope June during a time when the world felt uncertain, but for me, it was also a time that brought clarity and purpose. In 2020, in the midst of the global pandemic, I felt a strong pull to create something meaningful—a space that wasn’t just about hair, but about connection, care, and community.

In March 2021, I opened the doors of Penelope June in the heart of Old Town Greenwood, Indiana. What began as a dream quickly grew into something bigger than I ever imagined. I wanted to build a salon where people felt seen, heard, and uplifted—and every decision I’ve made since has been rooted in that intention.

My husband Dylan has supported me every step of the way and plays an active role behind the scenes. If it involves numbers, spreadsheets, or anything remotely technical—he’s probably on it. While I’m dreaming up the next big idea or mentoring our team, he’s making sure the systems are running, the bills are paid, and the numbers add up. We make a great team because we bring such different strengths to the table.

Together, we’re also raising four amazing kids who remind us daily what it means to lead with love, patience, and purpose. That same spirit is woven into the culture of our salon.

In March 2025, we took an exciting step and relocated just across the street into a larger space—still proudly rooted in Old Town Greenwood. This expansion allows us to serve more guests, support more stylists, and keep growing the community that means so much to us.

At Penelope June, my team and I are committed to helping each guest feel their absolute best—not just by enhancing their natural beauty, but by creating an experience that leaves them feeling refreshed, confident, and cared for.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. I’m so proud of what Penelope June has become, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
