Life’s Too Short for Bad Hair

Clark & Company brings a new vision of modern salon luxury to Dallas

Located in the heart of the Dallas Design District, Clark & Company is redefining the modern salon experience. It's where style, culture, and craftsmanship intersect.

Founded by Dallas hair industry veteran Kaycee Clark, the newly opened salon reflects a career built on technical excellence and creative intuition. After years behind the chair and mentoring talent across Dallas, Clark envisioned a space that feels intentional rather than transactional, where clients are not only styled but genuinely understood.

Clark created the salon to be elevated yet approachable, offering a setting where guests feel comfortable being themselves while trusting that they are in the hands of skilled experts.

Designed to mirror the creative energy of the Design District, Clark & Company blends clean, art-forward interiors with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The thoughtfully curated space invites conversation, confidence, and personal expression from the moment guests arrive, reflected in the salon’s tagline: Come for the hair, stay for the connection.

From precision cuts and dimensional color to lived-in blondes, extensions, curly hair texture, and editorial styling, Clark & Company emphasizes stylist-client alignment, pairing every guest with the professional best suited to their hair goals, texture, and lifestyle. Each stylist brings a distinct perspective and specialty, reinforcing the salon’s belief that individualized care is essential because no two clients are the same.

Dallasites who are feeling the sting at the gas pump aren't alone: Residents all around Texas are seeing soaring prices for regular and diesel fuel in 2026.

In fact, the Lone Star State has seen the fifth-highest percentage increase in gas prices in the country from April 2025 to April 2026, a just-released SmartAsset study has found. The current cost of a regular gallon of gas is 36.1 percent higher now than it was a year ago, and diesel is 60.9 percent more expensive.

The report, "Gas Prices Hit Records in 2026: State by State Breakdown," compared average gas prices from AAA from April 1, 2025 and April 1, 2026 and calculated the one-year change across all 50 states. The study looked at the price of a gallon of regular, premium, and diesel.

According to AAA, the cost of a regular gallon of gas in Texas at the start of April was $3.77, and premium is $4.62 per gallon. Diesel ticked over $5 a gallon — ouch — at $5.11.

Regular and diesel prices in Dallas are even costlier. A gallon of regular costs $3.89 at some Dallas-area pumps, and diesel is $5.19 per gallon. AAA says the highest recorded average price for gas in the city was in June 2022, when a gallon of regular cost $4.837 and diesel cost $5.476.

In Fort Worth and Arlington, current prices for a gallon of regular are $3.79, $4.57 for premium, and $5.09 for diesel.

Though Texas' gas prices are continuing to climb, it ranks 35th in the national ranking of states with the highest cost for regular gas as of April 2026. Texas' diesel prices are the 14th highest nationwide.

With the national average price for gas at $4.06, SmartAsset said the sudden surge in prices can be attributed to the United States' war on Iran, and "subsequent pressure on the Strait of Hormuz."

"Many states have experienced a 33 percent year-over-year increase in the cost of a gallon of regular gas – and in some places it’s even higher," the report's author wrote. "Commercial and public programs may be feeling similarly pinched, with diesel prices upwards of $6.00 per gallon in many states."

California currently has the highest average price for regular and diesel — $5.89 per gallon and $7.52 per gallon, respectively.

Arizona leads the nation with the highest one-year increase in gas prices. Regular gas in the Grand Canyon State is nearly 38 percent more expensive than it was last year, at $4.70 per gallon, and diesel is about 69 percent higher at $6.04 for a gallon.

The state with the cheapest gas prices in April is Oklahoma, where regular costs $3.27 per gallon, premium is $3.97, and diesel is $4.49.
