Brushed, Beautiful & Confident

Chic new hair salon blows into Sylvan Thirty in West Dallas

West Dallas is about to get a major glow-up. Brushed Beauty Salon, a chic new hybrid salon dedicated to celebrating all hair textures and styles, is set to open soon at Sylvan | Thirty, just minutes from downtown Dallas and Oak Cliff's Bishop Arts District.

The vision behind Brushed is as stylish as it is heartfelt: to create a space where everyone feels confident in their own hair. From sleek cuts and protective styles to natural curls, color transformations, bridal glam, and more, the salon will cater to clients of every texture, tone, and taste.

What sets Brushed apart is its hybrid salon model, a blend of the consistency of a traditional salon with the entrepreneurial spirit of independent stylists. This means beauty pros can rent and run their own chairs while guests enjoy a dynamic lineup of specialized talent, all under one sleek roof.

The new 3,600-square-foot space promises to be as welcoming as it is beautiful, featuring tons of natural light, chic seating, and a vibe that reflects the area’s creative, community-driven energy. Guests can also browse a curated retail section featuring hair-care and beauty products, with a special focus on small and local brands, making it easy to shop local while discovering new favorites.

Founder Chanel Jones says the salon’s mission goes beyond hair. “We wanted to create a space where everyone feels at home, whether you’re looking for a trusted stylist, exploring new styles, or shopping local beauty brands,” she says. “Brushed is about connection, creativity, and celebrating diversity.”

Brushed Beauty Salon will open later this year at 750 Fort Worth Ave., Suite H200, in Sylvan | Thirty. Beauty lovers can follow @brushedbeautysalon on Instagram for sneak peeks of the space, spotlights on the talented artists who will be working there, and the official grand-opening announcement.

Dress up your wedding with deals.

Calling all Dallas-Fort Worth brides, both former and to-be: There's a massive local resale event for wedding decor and accessories taking place at the end of January. Fort Worth Botanic Garden's first-ever After I Do Bridal Garage Sale will do what countless Facebook groups try to, but in-person and more streamlined.

Newlyweds will bring their gently used decor — think centerpieces, candles, signage, linens, ceremony arches, backdrops, vases, and other props — on January 31 for engaged couples and wedding planners to browse and purchase second-hand.

There will be party atmosphere in Oak & Redbud Hall, with Fort Worth Botanic Garden providing concessions from Rock Springs (both alcoholic and non), a playlist and wedding slideshow, and raffles and giveaways.

Shopping is from 11 am-2 pm, with seller set-up happening 8:30-10:30 am and breakdown 2-3:30 pm. Sellers will be provided a table and two chairs for a $15 rental fee, but they must bring their own tablecloths, signage, and payment methods (cash, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Square, etc.).

While admission to the sale is free, attendees must still purchase General Admission into the Botanic Garden. The first 25 shoppers in line will receive free Garden admission valid January 31 only. Pre-registration to attend is optional, but encouraged.

If you'd like to sell your table numbers, faux florals, and all the Cricut-made buffet signs your cousin made, there's still time to sign up. The deadline to register and pay your rental fee is January 25, and you can do so here.

The only things sellers are not allowed to peddle at the event are food and drink, sparklers or other pyrotechnics, and wedding gowns/party dresses. However, bridal party robes and bachelorette accessories are fair game, so bring a shopping bag and get ready to score beautiful items at budget-friendly prices.
