At the heart of our team and our salon is deep, true friendship... Between our stylists AND our incredible clients. Our dream team came together through multiple long-term friendships - We love to have fun, both in and out of the salon, and we shamelessly take support to another level!
From our hair services that give you your dream hair AND maintain its integrity & health, our skin and cosmetics services that are custom to you, to our hand-picked selection of clothing and home goods, we're all about quality, through and through. We promise to only give you the BEST out there.
Our salon and boutique is a place where confidence soars, and every woman feels not just welcome, but cherished. We're deeply committed to making sure you feel more incredible walking out of our salon than you did walking in - Inside AND out.
Owning a salon was always my end goal - I have worked for so many amazing owners and it inspired me to one day open my own space. Things finally lined up in September of 2023 and we signed the lease for Whiskey and Willow in Prescott! It was only right to have a boutique as well, bringing my two favorite things together in one beautiful space. I am so thankful for my team, my amazing parents and my fiancé Shawn who has helped me every step of the way.
Whiskey and Willow has truly been a labor of love and I am so excited to share my dream, vision and space with every single one of you. It was so important to me that this space made everyone that walked in the door feel like they were just going to hang out with their besties and get pampered. Thank you for being here and thank you for the support! I cannot wait for you to experience Whiskey and Willow and love it as much as we all do.
Hi, My name is April Heil! I was born in San Diego, CA and attended Bellus Academy for Cosmetology. I moved to Arizona in 2018 with my now husband and never looked back. I’ve been doing hair for ten years and have loved every moment. I love doing all hair but my passion lies with doing blondes, lived in/natural color, and extensions. I absolutely love enhancing a woman's natural beauty.

Hi, my name is Taylor Rae, Owner and Stylist at Whiskey and Willow! I was born and halfway raised in Prescott, Arizona. My mother owned The Ranch House Boutique on Whiskey Row in the early 90’s and fell in love with the garment industry. Soon after, she started her own clothing business and we moved to California so she could pursue her dreams and be closer to the garment district in LA. I attended Cosmetology School over there and fell in love with hair.
Although my mother was sad I didn’t follow in her footsteps in the fashion industry, she was happy to see me thriving and being creative through hair. I graduated in 2012 and started assisting immediately. I worked under many talented stylists, learning all I could. We were trained under Vidal Sassoon techniques and I continued working there for four years. I moved onto another salon and worked there until moving back home to Prescott in 2019. I was so happy to be home. In my free time, I love to spend time outdoors with my fiancé Shawn and his beautiful daughter Dani. We spend most of our time with family and friends, always on the move and never a dull moment.
Hey, my name is Carissa! I’ve lived in Prescott for four years and I’ve been a hairstylist for 15. The majority my experience comes from my time working behind the chair and lots of continued education. I worked for seven years in Colorado, my hometown and about 7+ years down in Scottsdale Arizona. I became a specialist in blonding during my time there.
I have a passion for hair styling and making women feel most confident when they leave my salon chair. Whether it be skin care, makeup or hair, I have all the tips!
Hiiiiii!! My name is Kendall Pittman!
I was born in Chicago, IL. When I was 18 I moved to Las Vegas, NV and attended Aveda Institute of Las Vegas. I found a love for the beauty industry very early on! I spent my childhood doing hair on barbies, and of course the very very expensive American girl dolls were all great models, until I hit highs chool, once I got into high school my friends became my real life barbies. I'm so thankful I had awesome people that trusted me and allowed me to practice my craft.
In the salon, I specialize in hand-tied extensions and lived-in color. I cannot WAIT to meet you, pamper you, and transform your hair!

I can’t wait to have you in my chair!
See you soon, xo

Hey there, I'm Jaclyn, the owner of J’s Fineline Tattoo. I’ve been a Prescott, Arizona local for 21 years, and throughout that time, my love for art has spanned across all different mediums. Now, I get to express that passion through tattooing. Nature is my biggest inspiration—whether it’s the delicate shapes of leaves and flowers, or the way a line flows like a natural landscape, I find beauty everywhere. My specialty is creating fine-line tattoos with intricate details that feel both subtle and meaningful.

Outside of the salon, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful boyfriend, our families, and my beloved dog, Banjo and Mac. You’ll often find us exploring the outdoors or relaxing with loved ones.
Taylor has been my hair stylist for almost 3 years now and I absolutely adore her! She is THE BEST at what she does and who she brings in is just as great!! It feels so welcoming and comfortable inside - They have an incredible atmosphere you do not want to miss! They have drinks, snacks, OH & the most comfortable chairs for hair washing. I just love it there and if I could live there I would.
Taylor and April were so kind and accommodating. April was my stylist and she exceeded my expectations! I didn’t have a specific style in mind, more of a goal, and she was able to interpret my ideas and create magic! They’ve earned a customer for life!
Carissa did my foils and cut. She achieved exactly what I wanted I'm very happy with my hair and the service I received! The salon is beautiful and the little boutique has a lot of must have's. The other girls were also very nice. It's a great atmosphere of VERY talented women! I can't wait to go back.
