Project Overview

Cole Zalkins is an independent hairstylist based in Palm Desert, California, known for effortless, modern color and precision cuts tailored to each client’s lifestyle. She partnered with me to design a website that reflects both her elevated aesthetic and the personalized experience she provides behind the chair.

The goal was to create a digital presence that felt polished yet approachable—capturing the confidence, warmth, and artistry that define her brand. Through clean typography, refined visuals, and intuitive navigation, the new website positions Cole as a go-to stylist in the Palm Desert area while making it easy for clients to explore services, view her work, and book with confidence.

The Challenge

Cole Zalkins Hair launched with a cohesive online presence that feels confident, polished, and distinctly elevated. The final website delivers a seamless, intuitive experience while clearly communicating Cole’s aesthetic, expertise, and personalized approach to hair. The result is a digital brand that feels established, intentional, and perfectly aligned with the expectations of modern, style-conscious clients in Palm Desert.

Our Approach

The process began with a focused discovery phase to define Cole’s brand personality, ideal clientele, and long-term vision for her business in Palm Desert. With that clarity in place, I mapped the user journey and developed wireframes that prioritized simplicity, flow, and effortless booking.

From there, the design evolved into a clean, modern digital experience—pairing strong imagery of her work, warm yet refined typography, and an airy layout that reflects her aesthetic behind the chair. Every detail was intentionally crafted to feel elevated yet welcoming, ensuring the site builds trust while making it easy for clients to explore services and schedule appointments.
