After nearly two decades behind the chair—and 13 years as a salon owner—I’ve learned that great hair is about so much more than a beautiful color or perfect haircut.
It’s about feeling like yourself again.
I’m Adora, a Virginia Beach hairstylist who believes your time in my chair should feel like a reset. My goal is to create beautiful, wearable hair that fits your lifestyle, complements who you are, and makes getting ready a little easier—and a lot more enjoyable.
I began my career in 2007 and founded Shear Passion in 2013. After years of building a salon, leading a team, and continually investing in my craft, I’m stepping into a new chapter as an independent stylist—bringing all of that experience back to what I love most: you and your hair.
I’m passionate about dimensional color, beautiful blondes, precision cutting, and creating looks that feel current without chasing every trend. I continue to invest in advanced education so I can bring fresh techniques and an elevated experience to every appointment.
But if you ask me what I love most about this career, it’s the relationship.
I love getting to know the woman in my chair—the busy mom, the career woman, the woman navigating a new season of life, or simply the woman who decided it was finally time to do something for herself.
Because sometimes you don't need a whole new life.
You just need to feel really good when you look in the mirror.
My faith and my family keep me grounded, and I believe there is something really special about creating a space where women can slow down, feel cared for, and leave feeling a little more confident than when they walked in.
Beautiful hair.
Real conversations.
A little time for you.
I’d love to have you in my chair.
