Hair restoration rooted in science, care, and real results.
I'm Shannon Smith, and I've spent years learning what actually works for hair thinning, shedding, and scalp health.
Why I do this work
I became a hairstylist because I love helping people feel confident. But over time, I kept seeing clients struggling with hair thinning and shedding, and I realized that most of them had never gotten real answers.
That sent me down a path of advanced training in scalp health, hair restoration, and the science behind why hair changes. Now this is the work I'm most passionate about.
The Beauty Cottage is a private, one-on-one studio in Wasilla, Alaska. Every client gets my full attention, a thorough assessment, and a plan built around their specific situation.
A calm, unhurried space, just for you.
The Beauty Cottage is a private, one-on-one studio. There are no other clients in the room, no rushing to the next appointment, and no pressure to purchase anything. Just a quiet, intentional space where you can talk openly about what you're experiencing and leave knowing what comes next.
Shannon built this environment on purpose. The women who come here deserve more than a rushed appointment. They deserve to feel heard.
My approach
I don't believe in guessing. Before recommending anything, I understand what's actually happening with your scalp and hair. That means the right questions, advanced imaging, and testing that goes deeper when your history calls for it.
From there, I build a plan that fits your life, not just a list of products. We track your progress, adjust as needed, and I stay in your corner through the whole process.
