Makenna Young is a Southern California hairstylist and educator who helps stylists create hair that looks like it’s been kissed by saltwater and sun—dimensional, wearable, and unmistakably coastal. Rooted in San Clemente, she built her signature “Ocean Dipped Hair™” approach by treating the ocean as her blueprint: soft movement, high-low contrast, and that effortless “I didn’t try too hard” finish clients chase year-round.

Through Beach Babe Hair Club, Makenna teaches the technique and the real-world workflow behind it—breaking down application choices, styling and finishing, and the behind-the-chair habits that make beachy color repeatable (not a once-in-a-while miracle). Her education menu spans live classes, online courses, and 1:1 coaching in her Southern California home base, with topics that can range from color placement and formulation to social media and the “business side” of being booked for your signature look.

If a stylist wants their balayage to feel more intentional, their finishing to photograph better, and their brand to match the kind of clients they actually want—Makenna’s world is a good place to drop in and learn.
