Heather Karenz | The Hair District Salon & Spa LLC
Owner / Hair Dresser
Heather was born and raised in Oconomowoc. She graduated the barber/cosmetology apprenticeship program from WCTC and has been doing hair for over twenty years. Heather offers hair cuts, colors, styles, hair bond building treatments, hair extensions, and facial waxing. She is a master colorist using Alfaparf Milano, Pulp Riot, and Joico. Heather is also an extension expert in Cinderella Hair beaded weft extensions. She makes it a priority to keep up with continuing education and certifications to stay current with the latest trends. Heather loves to perform gray blends and help people make changes in their hair and find their favorite cuts and colors that will suit them, their face shape, coloring, and lifestyle. She uses mainly Milkshake products to help her clients achieve their style. After working in two different salons during hair school and after graduation, Heather decided to venture out and rent a chair. She always knew, however, that owning her own salon is her ultimate goal. In 2017 Heather opened her first 1,000 square foot, 7 chair salon downtown Oconomowoc. After five years, The Hair District outgrew that space and renovated the current location with over 5,000 square feet with twelve open-concept chairs and twelve suites. Heather is married with two adult stepdaughters, and a son. She is the oldest out of five children with everyone still in the area. Two of Heather’s sisters own Roots Coffeebar and Café located in downtown Oconomowoc. The love Heather has for her clients and coworkers is beyond words!
