Tyler Burles, Our salon owner and hair educator. creator or Blend Hair Extensions

Tyler Burles

Level 5 stylist

With over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, Tyler has built her career around artistry, detail, and an unwavering commitment to her clients. the founder of Blend Hair Extensions (est. 2021), she is known for creating transformations that are both stunning and sustainable. Her specialty lies in natural, dimensional, low-maintenance color and flawless extension installs that elevate her clients’ everyday look while keeping their lifestyle in mind.

Tyler is committed to achieving her guests’ dream hair in just one session whenever possible. She has a reputation for working tirelessly behind the chair to deliver transformations that others would stretch across multiple visits. Clients value her perfectionism and her eye for detail. whether she’s “over-foiling” to create ribbons of blonde, blending a rich brunette, or installing extensions that look and feel like natural hair.

Her work with extensions is what truly sets her apart. After years of frustration with big-brand systems that lacked flexibility and consistency, Tyler created Blend Hair Extensions in 2021 and hasn’t looked back since. Her installs are known for their comfort and longevity, with many clients traveling in specifically to experience her craftsmanship. While most extension methods require maintenance every six weeks, Tyler’s precision has allowed some clients to go four to five months between appointments (not recommended, but a testament to her skill!). As a tender-headed girl herself, she has a deep understanding of sensitivities and ensures her guests always feel cared for throughout their appointments.

The experience in Tyler’s chair goes far beyond hair. Her legendary head massages have become a signature… something clients anticipate just as much as their color or extension service. Combined with her warm, attentive energy, every appointment feels like a reset: part beauty transformation, part self-care ritual.

Currently, Tyler accepts clients exclusively on Fridays and Saturdays, with limited early-morning appointments starting as early as 5:30 a.m. Her books are highly sought after, and she encourages guests to reserve in advance. (especially as she prepares to take leave at the end of January 2026 to focus on her growing family)

Beyond the salon, Tyler is a mentor, educator, and small business owner who pours her heart into her team and her clients alike. She’s also a mama of (almost) three, proof that life can be beautiful, chaotic, and full of love all at once. When she’s not behind the chair, you can find her sipping an iced chai, indulging her foodie side, or out on the water wake surfing—her ultimate happy place.

For clients seeking not just great hair, but an unforgettable experience, Tyler offers the rare combination of technical mastery, artistry, and genuine care. Whether it’s a subtle color refresh or a full extension transformation, she ensures every client leaves feeling confident, comfortable, and picture-perfect.
