Linda Deason Owner – Master Colorist, Mentor, Entrepreneur

Linda Deason

For over 50 years, Linda Deason has been shaping the beauty industry-30 of those years right here in Jacksonville as the owner of West Coast Hair Design, North Florida’s leading destination for balayage, French haircutting, and luxury color services.

Linda comes from a generation of stylists who mastered it all-color, cutting, and styling-giving her a foundation of unmatched expertise. She has trained with the best in the world, traveling coast to coast and internationally to stay at the forefront of modern hair artistry. Our signature service, the West Coast Signature Balayage, is a technique we created that combines the artistry of hand-painted balayage with strategically placed foils. The result is dimensional, natural-looking color that lasts longer, grows out softer, and takes less time in the chair. It’s a method that reflects a blend of West Coast sun-kissed style, East Coast sophistication, and Southern warmth – something you simply won’t find anywhere else.

Linda’s greatest joy now comes from mentoring her talented team and welcoming generations of clients-many who have trusted her for over 30 years, along with their children and grandchildren. As she steps away from being behind the chair, Linda remains deeply involved in the heart of the salon: guiding her team, nurturing creativity, and ensuring West Coast Hair Design continues to be Jacksonville’s destination for beautiful, customized hair that feels effortless, modern, and distinctly you.

“At West Coast Hair Design, we’re not just creating hairstyles-we’re creating confidence, connection, and community.”

West coast Hair Design really caters to each and every client. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The salon has a warm cozy feeling. I’ve known the owner, Linda, for years and she has a very strong work ethic. She takes each new stylist and personally teaches and shares her wisdom of styling hair with them. My Stylist, Anna, is very kind and caring person. She takes her time with me and I never feel rushed. Her smile lights up the room. I love the color she put on my hair the very first time I sat in her chair. She got it just right! My hair is thick and coarse and not the easiest to style but Anna does a great job and always makes sure I am satisfied.
