About Me

Hi, I'm Madeleine — a passionate hairstylist with a heart for creating effortless beauty and real connection. With years of hands-on experience behind the chair, I specialize in custom cuts, dimensional color, and styles that help you feel like your most confident self. At my one-chair studio, I’ve created a cozy, personalized space where each appointment is all about you. Whether you’re here for a fresh look or a quiet moment of self-care, I’m dedicated to making sure you leave feeling seen, supported, and absolutely stunning.

I named my studio in honor of my great uncle, John Kirby, who did hair for over 60 years. He styled generations of clients, including my mom on her wedding day — the photo above is one of my favorite memories. He taught me that doing hair is more than beauty—it’s a relationship, a legacy, and a way to lift people up. His passion and presence inspire everything I do behind the chair.

Nourish the Hair. Empower the Soul.

At John Kirby Studio, every service is tailored to you. Whether you’re coming in for a subtle refresh or a full transformation, I take the time to understand your hair goals, lifestyle, and unique beauty. My one-on-one appointments are designed to be intentional, relaxed, and rooted in trust — so you leave feeling confident, refreshed, and cared for.
