Shyer Spence

The Blake Denver Owner | Master Stylist

I’ve always loved the way hair can change how you feel. Whether it’s giving you that “cool girl at brunch” confidence, making you feel like the hottest mom in the school pickup line, or helping a guy look effortlessly sharp. That feeling is what first drew me to this industry, and it’s what keeps me inspired every day.

I grew up in sunny Florida, studied design, and chased big dreams in New York City, where I worked for a luxury swimwear designer before trading runways for mountain views. Colorado has been home for over a decade now, and it’s where I truly fell in love with every corner of the hair industry. What began as a passion for haircutting grew into an obsession with color, blonding, extensions, and curls. Today, I get to share that love as a salon owner and stylist, educator, certified curl specialist and hair extension specialist.

When I’m not behind the chair, you can usually find me ballroom dancing, working out, cooking, or hanging out with my wiener dog, Theodog Roosevelt, and my cat, Pretty Girl. At the end of the day, I just love creating! Whether that’s art, food, movement, or (my favorite) really great hair.

The Blake Denver has become a place that reflects everything I care about: creativity, connection, and making people feel good in their own skin. It’s also a space where stylists can thrive, support one another, and have fun doing what we love. More than anything, I just want to keep creating in an environment that feels good for clients and for the people who work here. is a master stylist and the owner of The Blake Denver.
