Timothy Hardy
Owner / Master Stylist / Redken Certified Colorist / Bellami Extension & V-Light Certified
Growing up in Eastern NC and Southeast VA, hospitality is a significant aspect of why I opened Color Splash 10 years ago! My goal every day is to create an environment where our clients feel special when they walk in the door. You become our friends and family, and we take care of our family! Because my client list is full, I am accepting clients by referral only. I’d love to pair you with a stylist who would be a fantastic fit for your personality and hair needs. I’ve been in the industry for 18 years as a Redken-certified colorist and product knowledge leader. I’m passionate about educating and helping my team be successful in any way I can! You will always find me working beside my team, discussing color formulations, product knowledge, and even assisting stylists when they may be running behind. Working as a team is the Color Splash way! When I’m not with my salon family, you can find me exploring Disney World and soaking up the sun in Cancun! I always look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces at Color Splash.
Jordan Gurwell
Master Stylist / Vivid Specialist / Bellami Extension Certified
I knew at the age of 12, growing up in my aunt’s salon, that I wanted to be a part of the hair industry! I’ve been a stylist in the Great Bridge Area for 10 years, and I graduated from Rudy and Kelly Academy in 2014! I specialize in customized blonding techniques for vivid color transformations! My passion for bold, beautiful hair comes from being able to create art and challenge myself daily! I love being able to give my clients the rainbow hair that they’ve always wanted or bold, beautiful coppers and reds that so many dream of! I am also a hair loss solution stylist, certified through Hairskeen! I can’t wait to help you love your hair again! When I am not behind the chair, I enjoy spending time with my family, getting lost in a good book, and going on adventures with my family and friends! I look forward to helping you meet all of your hair goals! you deserve it.
Heather Holland
Master Stylist / Bellami Extension Certified
Making clients feel good inside and out is my passion. I’ve been behind the chair for 36 years, and I love that I never stop learning in this industry. I specialize in razor-cutting techniques and multidimensional colors that show off your natural beauty and are easy to style at home. I want all of my clients to feel like they can recreate the style that I give them! A razor cut can make your hair feel lighter while giving texture and movement! Outside of being a hairstylist, I love spending time with my two sons! Health and fitness are a huge part of my life, and I enjoy helping people work towards a healthier lifestyle. l am an IFBB Masters Bikini Pro, and I love the discipline and challenge each year brings with competing at a professional level.

Savannah Whittaker
Salon Coordinator / Manager / Stylist
I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist for six years, with a strong focus on haircutting and ongoing education in the hair industry. Over time, I’ve worked my way up to become the manager of ColorSplash, where I’m dedicated to leading our team toward success and ensuring every client has a positive and memorable experience.
Outside of the salon, I enjoy spending quality time with my dogs and family, and love going out for food and drinks with friends. I look forward to welcoming all of our amazing clients to Color Splash!
Ashley Starling
Stylist
Hi, my name is Ashley! I’m originally from Jacksonville, Florida, and moved to Virginia in 2020 with my family, who are Navy-affiliated. I began my college journey at a community college in Florida and transferred to Old Dominion University. However, after having my son, I decided to shift gears and pursue my dream of cosmetology. I wanted to show my son the importance of following your passion, no matter when you start.
I’m now a licensed hairstylist and a proud graduate of Rudy and Kelly Academy, Class of 2025. I specialize in blonding, dimensional, cutting, and styling services that help my clients feel confident, refreshed, and uniquely themselves. My goal is to create a welcoming and relaxing space where every guest feels heard and leaves feeling their absolute best.
Iris Torres
Stylist
I was born and raised in NYC and moved to Virginia in 2014 while serving in the Navy. After 10 years of active duty service, I decided to return to my first passion—cosmetology—and finish what I started before joining the military. I recently graduated from Rudy & Kelly Academy in 2025. I’m extremely passionate about blonding, color formulation, dimensional highlights/lowlights, and hair extensions. I’m a color nerd, I love playing with tones to find the perfect shade just for you! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my son, family, and friends. I also love crocheting and making custom wine bottles and bouquets. I am dedicated to making my clients feel refreshed and in love with their new look!
