Zoe Babb
OWNER + HAIR STYLIST
Hello, I'm Zoe Babb born and raised right here in Englewood, Florida, I’ve loved watching our little town grow and evolve over the years. From a young age, I’ve always had a passion for art and animals, and I knew my career had to reflect what I love most — creativity, connection, and freedom.
Becoming a hairstylist allowed me to do exactly that. As a mom of four amazing kids, I wanted a career that would let me be hands-on with my family — at school events, birthday parties, and sports games — while still doing something that fuels my artistic side. Hair has always felt natural to me, from formulating the perfect color to transforming an idea into reality.
Now, with over 12 years behind the chair here in Englewood, I still wake up excited to create something new every day. Whether it’s a first-time guest or a client who’s been with me since the beginning, my goal is always the same — to make you feel beautiful, confident, and completely yourself.
I’m dedicated to staying current on education, techniques, and trends, and I’m proud to have created an Assistant Program that helps both new and experienced stylists grow their skills, build confidence, and step into their own success.
You can find my work and latest transformations on.

Sophia Lembo
GLOW WILD ESTHETICS + LASHES
Hello Everyone!
My name is Sophia Lembo — originally from Upstate New York (and yes, I still miss the pizza!), I’ve called sunny Florida home for the past six years. From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by the science of skin and the art of enhancing natural beauty. That passion led me to become a licensed esthetician specializing in custom skincare treatments and lash extensions — and now, the proud owner of Glow Wild.
I absolutely love helping my clients achieve healthy, radiant skin and flawless lashes. Whether it’s treating acne, aging, or texture concerns through personalized facials, or creating the perfect lash look that complements your features — my goal is always to help you feel confident and beautiful in your own skin.
At Glow Wild, I’ve created an atmosphere where you can escape reality for a bit — a space that feels welcoming, relaxing, and all about you. I want every client to leave not only glowing on the outside but also feeling rejuvenated and confident from within.
As always,
xoxo — Wild hearts, glowing skin 💕
P.S. Lash naps are always free — and so is a little therapy!

Collin Martin
Master Hair Cutter & Educator
An insatiable new figure in the world of platform artistry, Collin Martin has been creating multi-functional cuts with a keen eye while employing unconventional 3D sculpting for the past twelve years. His peculiar approach to hair has, in the words of a colleague, “brought the avant-garde to the people.”
Crediting his strong artistic background and over a decade of working with his hands, Collin has built, and demonstrates, a new philosophy concerning the inner workings of the haircut. From small classrooms to auditoriums, stylists, industry personnel, and enthusiasts have heard Collin’s voice trembling with visceral excitement as he openly dissects his approach to the structure of hair styles—his “construction process”—and the tools he uses to create finery for his exclusive clientele.
Collin graduated from Masters of Cosmetology, a Pivot Point Member School, in 2007. Upon obtaining his Master Educator’s License, he began doggedly chasing a new yet functional approach to hair manageability, from shampooing to finalized style. Depending on products such as Davines, Seven Hair Care, and Hattori Hanzo shears, Collin continues to reinvent himself and his art across the continental United States.
