A bold new chapter in professional beauty education begins with the launch of The Garden—an advanced teaching hub, hair education academy, and creative experience center built to host world-class educators and elevate the salon industry in Oklahoma City and beyond.
The Garden is a space where beauty professionals from diverse backgrounds come together to learn from globally recognized educators like DJ Muldoon, Renée Gadar, Anthony Edge, and Omar Antonio. Emphasizing collaboration over competition, it fosters skill-building, connection, and fun without pressure or recruitment. Salon owners can confidently send their teams to The Garden, knowing that classes are independent of brand affiliations or recruitment agendas and are focused purely on skill development, creativity, and professional growth.
Co-founded by former NYC-based power couple Billy Keohane, an award-winning hairstylist, and Lauren Keohane, a celebrated makeup artist featured on top international magazine covers, The Garden was created in partnership with Eden Salon, a cornerstone of OKC’s beauty scene for over 40 years.
Built to support artistry and advancement, The Garden is a creative hub with a clear mission: to foster expertise, spark creativity, and cultivate a brand-neutral community for professionals at every stage.
"The Garden is a place for planting seeds of growth. It’s where education, creativity, and connection intersect," says co-founder and Creative Director Billy Keohane. "We created this space to inspire hairstylists and beauty professionals to grow through hands-on advanced training, mentorship, and a shared love of the craft. It’s about coming together to get better and bloom in every sense of the word," emphasized Billy Keohane.
The Garden is designed to elevate salon excellence across the Southwest. It’s a return to the joy of learning, surrounded by like-minded professionals who share a passion for innovation and artistry.
From licensed hairstylists and salon professionals to educators seeking to expand their network and skills, The Garden offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for mastery through advanced hair education, cutting-edge techniques, and elevated services.
The Garden’s all-day classes and trainings are designed to attract beauty professionals from OKC and beyond. With its central location and rising cultural scene, Oklahoma City is an ideal base for national and international guest artists.
In addition to its educational mission, The Garden serves as the flagship academy for SITCH Hair Care—the world’s first 100% refillable hair care system. This partnership supports a shared vision of sustainability and innovation in the professional beauty industry. With Dieline Award–winning recycled packaging and a forward-thinking approach to ethical haircare, SITCH reflects the bold values that define The Garden.
The Garden’s first featured artists are planned for September 2025, bringing an exciting lineup of classes and residencies to launch the center’s inaugural season.
