Hey I’m Mallory Vorhees (Granrath),

holistic hairstylist based out of Portland, OR.

I am proud Wisconsinite where I spent the first ten years of my career working for a wonderful salon where I was lucky enough to land my dream cosmetology apprenticeship right after high school. During this time, I was able to see many different sides of the industry from being a trainer, educator and artistic director all while doing what I love behind the chair. I grew tired of all the fumes, nauseating smells, and allergic reactions to toxic color. I knew I couldn’t continue my career knowing how toxic the beauty and hair industry can be. That is when I choose to dedicate my career to becoming a non-toxic stylist. In 2016, after searching for a salon that matched my ethos, I landed at Pure in Nashville, meeting like-minded stylists and clients for the first time!

In the beginning of 2020 right before the corona madness, I decided to take the plunge and become my own boss. I joined a family of independent artists in East Nashville, where I was able to grow my brand and dreams. As of April 2021, I moved my life and career to the west coast to be in beautiful Portland, Oregon. I have joined a new hair family at Gilded Fox Salon located in beautiful Northwest Portland. We are a group of hairstylists dedicated to choosing the low-tox beauty products, individual creativity and education. 

Though Portland will be my home base, I will still be doing pop-ups in Milwaukee so keep an eye out for my pop-up schedule!

Behind the chair, my passion is intuitive hair styling. I want to listen to your hair and let it tell us what it is going to do. I absolutely love creating and shaping wavy and curly hair; my specialty may be perms, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love color! It brings me so much joy helping educate you on what to do with your hair and provide effortless styling, but I also want to show you the benefits of non-toxic beauty by helping you discover simple products and routines for your hair/lifestyle that wont poison you.

I choose to only work with companies that have a low-toxicity level, that are cruelty free and have a heart for sustainability. You will not find PPD (I’m very allergic), resorcinol or ammonia around me. 

When I’m not in the salon, you can find me in nature making memories with my husband, listening to true crime podcasts or watching a good tv series with our cats, Reuben and Cherise. Heads up if you ever want to talk Enneagram, I’m a 7!

Look forward to seeing you in my chair 🌿
