MEET THE MOGUL

For over four decades, Heather Mahoney has been a transformative force in the beauty industry. Co-founding H2O Salon & Spa with her sister Holli G. Story in Old Metairie more than 37 years ago, they set a new standard for beauty, service, and experience — establishing one of the region’s most trusted, community-centered salons.

Post-Katrina, Heather demonstrated remarkable resilience: she relocated to Louisiana’s Northshore and rebuilt from the ground up. Today, H2O thrives with two full-service salons generating seven-figure revenue annually — a testament to her vision, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Heather’s mission has always been greater than aesthetics. It’s about empowering people to feel as radiant as they look — a philosophy that has made H2O much more than a salon. With a devotion to both beauty and wellness, the expanded offering now includes services tailored to restore both appearance and spirit, ensuring every client leaves renewed.

Over time, Heather has become a revered leader in the hair industry. Her passion for people and her craft has inspired newcomers and rising professionals alike. She’s recognized not just as a stylist, but as a mentor, a trendsetter, and a beloved figure whose influence continues to shape the next generation of beauty professionals.
