THE RITZZ TEAM

DANA SHY
OWNER + HAIR STYLIST
With nearly three decades of experience at the helm of The Ritzz Salon, I’ve found true fulfillment in mentoring new hair stylists and supporting nail technicians and estheticians as they grow strong, successful clienteles. Fostering a positive, growth-oriented environment has always been one of my core values. I'm deeply passionate about continuing education and make it a priority to stay current—both personally and professionally—with the latest trends, techniques, and innovations in the beauty industry. I actively encourage my team to pursue advanced training and often attend International Salon and Spa Shows across the country with them. These experiences not only sharpen our skills but also reignite our creativity. For the past 20 years, I’ve specialized in K-Tip hair extensions, offering clients customized, high-quality solutions to achieve their dream hair. Additionally, I specialize in Brazilian Blowout hair straightening treatments, providing clients with smooth, frizz-free hair that lasts. This combination of skills—along with cuts, colors, and perms—allows me to offer a wide range of personalized hair care services to meet every client's unique needs. In 2011, I was honored to be voted Best Hair Stylist by the Billings Gazette Readers' Choice Awards—a recognition that continues to inspire my ongoing commitment to excellence. Outside the salon, I enjoy recharging through scuba diving adventures and relaxing on the golf course. These hobbies help me stay balanced and bring fresh energy and perspective back to my work and my team.

With over 30 years of experience behind the chair, I bring classic skill and modern style to every cut. I’m proud to serve my clients from my station at The Ritzz Salon, where quality and comfort come first. Whether you're looking for a fresh fade, a sharp trim, or just good conversation, you’ll be in good hands. When I'm not cutting hair, I enjoy working on my farm, spending time out on the water fishing, or hitting the country western dance floor on the weekends. Come by, sit down, and leave looking sharp.
