our story
Phenix Hair Designs was birthed out of San Francisco’s world renowned Winfred’s Salon. Winfred’s was a premier destination in the African American beauty community located in the Fillmore / Lower Pacific Heights area of San Francisco. Phenix Hair Designs was started with two of the three original partners, Cheree Mechelle and Ona Watley who worked with Winfred for many years before his passing. It was by Winfred’s wishes that his legacy of excellence, professionalism, community, and beauty be kept alive. Today Cheree Mechelle is continuing to honor her commitment with Phenix Hair Designs.
