Our
story
Artistry.
Intention.
Bennu Salon was born from a passion for elevating the craft of hair. Founded in 2026 by Hans and Caitlyn Van Doornik in Holland, Michigan, it is a space where editorial expertise, color mastery, and a shared vision for what a salon can be come together.
LUXURY.
At Bennu, hair is more than a service. It is a craft, an experience, and a reflection of something greater.
