Who we are

Serious about hair.
Light on ego.

Scotch Bonnet is a boutique hair salon in downtown West Palm Beach, serving Palm Beach County, Palm Beach Island, Jupiter and Tequesta. It’s built for the person who has a discriminating eye for great hair but no appetite for a snobby salon.

We are genuinely obsessed with the craft, cutting, coloring, styling. Every stylist on the floor is in continuing education, because the standard here is set by what we teach other professionals, not by what’s easy. And the room is loud, warm and fun.

Meet the owner

Tracy
Vasquez

Nearly three decades behind the chair. She came up through Visions Hair in Wellington, then trained under Nick Arrojo in New York City, a man who does not hand out approval easily.

These days she teaches beside the names she learned from: advanced cutting and color at Scotch Bonnet Advanced, Fuel education events with top stylists from around the country, and the stage at industry shows. Between classes she’s behind her own chair, and her clients tend to stay for years.

If your hair needs the advanced work, whether that’s a serious correction, a technical cut, or color with a history, this is the chair.

The team

Five stylists, one standard. Plus the two people who actually run the place. Everyone here is in continuing education; what separates the levels is experience and how far out they book.

Monica Rae

Stylist

Monica is the cutter people get particular about: precise, well-built shapes that look as good weeks later, growing out, as they do the day you leave.
