Sera the Sassy Stylist
Beauty, Boldness, and a Whole Lot of Heart
By Sera “The Sassy Stylist” | Fair Oaks, California
I’ve always been a creative soul who loves people. For me, art lives in hair—in the shapes, colors, textures, and transformations that empower people to feel their absolute best. When someone walks out of my chair looking good and feeling confident, I know they’re ready to conquer the world.
This journey into the world of hair wasn’t my first career—but it became my true calling. I started my salon and barbering business to design a life of flexibility, fulfillment, and community. Ten years later, it’s been a wild ride filled with challenges, wins, laughter, hugs, and more hours of education than most people imagine. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.
A Decade of Highs, Lows & Purpose
The last ten years have been a roller coaster. Like many small businesses, we’ve faced economic swings, temporary closures, and unpredictable change. But we’re still here—and still fighting every day to make our clients feel seen, beautiful, and supported.
I’ve built my business not just around styling hair—but around building relationships. And I’m proud to partner with Eufora, a product line that aligns with my personal and professional values. Their philosophy is rooted in sustainability and wellness:
No animal testing
Plant-based ingredients
Minimal chemical fillers
Commitment to environmental responsibility
People don’t always stop to think about what’s in their shampoo or body wash. But your skin is your body’s largest organ—absorbing everything you put on it. If you’ve ever felt dry, itchy, or irritated and couldn’t figure out why… it might be time to take a closer look at your products. We offer thoughtful, customized solutions that are not only better for you—but better for the planet.
More Than Hair—It’s About Transformation
From precision barbering to custom color, from modern techniques to classic cuts, the world of hair is endlessly evolving—and so are we. I’m not just behind the chair anymore—I’m also in front of the classroom. Educating the next generation of stylists has become one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
It’s shocking how much this industry has changed. Licensing requirements have been reduced, and the removal of the practical exam has left a skills gap I’m determined to help close. As a seasoned stylist, I now train young professionals not only in cutting and coloring—but also in business acumen, client communication, and personal growth.
When I first picked up a pair of shears, I was terrified. But after years of training, teaching, and hands-on experience, I now help clients discover the perfect haircut for their face, head shape, hair type, and personality. When someone finally sees themselves in the mirror and says, “I’ve never had it done like this before,”—it’s powerful. It’s life-changing.
Oh—and yes, French haircuts and British styles are very real. Haven’t heard of them? Come in and I’ll give you the grand tour.
Connecting Style to Community
As a proud BBB member, I believe in community over competition. I love working with fellow entrepreneurs, especially CEOs and business owners looking to elevate their personal brand. If you're getting new headshots, reach out—I offer complimentary styling services to help you look your best on camera. Whether it’s a subtle trim, a bold new color, or just a little polish, how you show up in your brand photography matters.
Stylists and barbers are often the unsung connectors of the business world. We talk to people all day long—and when someone needs a recommendation, we always know someone. From accountants to attorneys, photographers to florists, we are walking, talking directories of local business talent.
So yes, we cut hair. We color, we shampoo, we style. But we also inspire confidence, create transformation, and connect our community every single day.
The Heart of the Chair
Every member of our team at Curl Up and Dye in Fair Oaks is here to make you look and feel amazing. Even if you don’t sit in my chair, I’ll help match you with the right stylist who fits your needs, style, and vibe. Because ultimately, it’s not just about the hair—it’s about how you feel when you leave.
Whether you’re seeking a new everyday look, a special occasion style, or a personalized product routine that actually works for your unique hair type, we’ve got you covered.
