Baldwin Beauty School chats with Danielle Benson, Owner of Wild Orchid Salon about the importance of a good beauty school education and the power of Pivot Point.

Wild Orchid Salon + Spa has achieved Ambassador Salon status in the Wigs for Kids Salon Network, making it one of a select group of salons nationwide. Ambassador status requires demonstrated knowledge of the Wigs for Kids program, skill in the proper cutting techniques for properly harvesting hair donations and a commitment to support the program through fund raising activities.

In its first art exhibit to include all 3 locations, the Austin Texas Salon Spa provides a unique opportunity for the abstract artist to display her work and demonstrates the owner’s commitment to the local Austin arts community.

Wild Orchid Salon is proud to display the creative work of emerging abstract artist, Julie Ahmad, at its three Austin area locations. Starting in January with its new salon spa location in San Clemente at Davenport, Wild Orchid will display six new abstract art originals by the artist. In the coming months, additional works will be displayed in Wild Orchid’s Bee Cave-Lakeway salon spa and Market District salon.

Wild Orchid Salon is proud to be recognized as “Best Salon in Austin” in Austin Monthly Magazine’s 2014 Reader’s Poll for its Best in City awards. The recognition further establishes the now 3 location salon + spa as one of Austin’s elite destinations for hair and beauty services.
