Allegory Salon
A destination in Des Moines Iowa for hair extensions, SMP, & hair loss solutions for men & women.
Why Allegory?
We can tell you, but it’s easier to show you.
We are passionate about making people’s lives better.
We got into ownership to make a difference in the quality of life of hairstylists and to improve the quality of skilled services and care that guests need to feel confident as they step into their world and tell their stories everyday!
*NOTHING* compares to making people feel better. It’s not just hair. In conversations and in service, you’ll immediately realize how much we care about you. We want you to leave ready to take on anything! We want to arm you with confidence and give you the hair that makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
Everyone deserves to feel beautiful, handsome, sexy, comfortable, cared for, and welcomed.
We are parents of 5 and when we aren’t at the salon we are enjoying time at the hockey rink, gymnastics , traveling and experiencing life, and advocating for our youngest son. This has taught us patience, and perseverance. We value kindness , inclusion, and time with loved ones.
Dawn started doing extensions in 2002 and with Dan as her biggest supporter he even started making extensions in 2008. This early collaboration started a journey of business partnership to focus on bringing extensions to the next level.
Moving ahead 8 years later with Dan also licensed; Allegory was created to carry through our dreams of a better career for stylists and better extensions and hair loss solutions for guests.
In 2023 we added SMP: Scalp micro pigmentation, and crown extensions so we could solve even more hair loss issues and give power back to our guests over their hair loss.
That’s all we can tell you,
Let us show you.

With so many types on hair and systems of rows which do you have? Volume wefts should blend like this.
This guest has hand-tied hair installed in a volume weft method. The beads are exposed, but she still has custom colored extensions, matching beads, and matching thread for the best hidden install possible with this method.
This method is a great alternative for a guest that either has plenty of density to cover the bead foundation, or a guest that values a quicker appointment over the pull up.
If you’re dealing with uncolored wefts that stick out, blonde thread or beads that are a huge tell, or a lack of clean sections on your current hair we can help!
We will make the best of the hair you have until it needs replaced to accommodate you and get you the best install possible, no matter the method you choose.

It’s lioness season. But your curls can be tamed with the right techniques.
Jocelyn has spent extra time and patience learning how to cut, color, and style curls.
Each curly client is unique, just like every curl on their head.
will start with shaping your curls in their natural state, cutting each curl individually to create an elongated shape that lets each curl break free and live in the style naturally.
Next she will color your curls with purpose; no more disappearing highlights and no more fried limp curls.
And because we know you want to show off your new hair she will gently style with specialized products and create a look you’ll be ready to hit the town in.
No more fear of going home to restyle your curls before you can face the world.
It’s about time you found a stylist ready for the challenge.

the story of beauty
We are a destination for hair extensions, luxury color, & precision cuts. We curate a look to match how you envision yourself. Let us tell your story.
We use only top quality hair color here at Allegory. We don’t cut corners on what’s best for you, ever. Goldwell’s award winning color backed by our consistent Goldwell training several times a year allows us unlimited possibilities in creating a color that helps us tell your story.
We use Oribe because these are the products of the hair-obsessed. There’s just nothing comparable to the luxury experience of the way it smells, feels, repairs, and does exactly what is says it’s going to do. It stole our heart from the second it was in our hands, and our our clients just can’t stop raving about it. Paired with education to keep us sharp, we love the way it helps us tell your story.
At Allegory we recommend R+Co “R+Co is about an experience. The packaging and fragrances were designed to enhance that experience and evoke a feeling, place, style or attitude.”-R+Co It’s one of the ways we choose the best fit for you to help tell your story. R+Co products are formulated without parabens, sulfates (SLS or SLES), mineral oil and petrolatum. They are all vegetarian, cruelty-free, gluten-free and color-safe.
