Who are we...

Vacation Hair Company was created for women who work hard, travel often, and deserve to look effortless while doing it. Born from a love of travel and the ocean, we believe every woman should be free to dive in—literally—without worrying about damaging her hair.

Our mission is simple: to make beauty convenient for women who love to explore. From high-quality, low-maintenance extensions to restorative hair care that protects textured hair from salt, chlorine, and sun, every product is designed to keep you confident, carefree, and camera-ready—no matter where your passport takes you.

At Vacation Hair Company, beauty and adventure coexist. We’re redefining what it means to be “vacation ready,” because you shouldn’t have to choose between looking good and living fully.

Shawnte Linvel - Owner

Hi, I’m Shawnte' Linvel from Ann Arbor, MI and the founder of Vacation Hair Company. I have a background in real estate, from being a broker to a property manager and everything in between.

I’ve always loved to travel and I have to swim—it’s nonnegotiable. There’s something spiritual about becoming one with nature and all of God’s creations, and for me, that means getting in the ocean.

But as much as I love the water, I hated the damage it did to my hair. I found myself constantly choosing between enjoying my vacation or protecting my beauty—and that never sat right with me.

So, I decided to change that. Vacation Hair Company was born from my personal mission to make beauty effortless for women like me—women who love to live, explore, and feel beautiful without compromise.

Every product I create is inspired by freedom, convenience, and the desire to live fully—because beauty shouldn’t hold you back, it should move with you.
