meet the woman behind
the brand - stephanie

I’m a Midwestern-raised, Filipino-American mother and grandmother with more than two decades of experience in the professional beauty industry. Now calling the Emerald Coast home, I’ve created Headspa & Hair by Stephanie as a space where expert scalp and hair care meets calm, comfort and intentional service.

Nature, water and sensory details have always brought me a sense of peace, and that influence can be felt throughout the experience I create for my guests. I’m also inspired by care traditions from around the world that use warmth, botanicals, touch and stillness to help people slow down and feel restored.

My Christian faith quietly shapes the values I bring to my work, compassion, humility, gratitude and respect. Every guest is welcomed without pressure or judgment and cared for in a way that honors their individual comfort and preferences.

To me, luxury means being listened to, never rushed and having the details thoughtfully handled. My goal is for every guest to leave feeling refreshed, cared for and completely at ease.
