Welcome back to ‘Local Whidbey’ where we spotlight the people, businesses, and creativity that make Whidbey Island the special place we all love to call home. Today, we are buzzing into the vibrant world of all-around queen bee, Misty Ellis, owner, stylist, and educator of The Hive Salon … where style, community, and self-expression come together in the most fabulous way.
My interest in Misty as an Audacious Islander goes beyond the fact that I am a client of hers, find her to be interesting and impressed by how much she gives back to the Oak Harbor Community. She has lived in different parts of the world and doesn’t let living in a small community limit her access to bringing her clients the best. She literally goes to London every year for their ‘Top of the Industry’ hair and products show. I wish she needed a tag along to carry her bags … anything … I’m so there.
Misty’s passion for creating beauty goes beyond haircuts and color—it’s about empowering every client to feel confident, radiant, and unapologetically themselves. With an emphasis on connection and care, Misty has cultivated a space where everyone who walks through the door feels like part of the family.
From stunning transformations to small, thoughtful touches, Misty and her team have built The Hive Salon into more than just a business—it’s a hub of creativity and community right here on Whidbey Island. Today, we’ll hear Misty’s story—how she has built her business over the years, her philosophy on beauty and self-care, and her passion for educating and training stylists.
If you’ve noticed, today I changed the intro music. It is an ode to Misty and you’ll find out why later in her interview. So, sit back, relax, and get ready to be inspired. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why The Hive Salon is such a beloved part of our Whidbey community!
