Westchase was designed to feel like a community rather than just a subdivision — a collection of villages spread across more than 2,000 acres, built around a golf course, parks, walking trails, and the café-lined streets of West Park Village. It's polished, family-oriented, and proud of its neighborly feel, with front porches, village greens, and gazebos that invite you to slow down. Hair by Heni belongs in a place like this: a personal, unhurried service that comes to your door.
I'm Henriett — Heni to my clients — and I run a private mobile hairdressing studio. Instead of you driving out to a salon and waiting for a chair, I bring the full service to your home in Westchase, whether that's West Park Village, The Bridges, Harbor Links, or any of the surrounding villages.
Why mobile hairdressing suits Westchase
Westchase life is full — golf, swim and tennis, school events, weekends built around the neighborhood's parks and trails. A salon appointment that eats up half a day doesn't fit easily into that. Mobile hairdressing removes the friction entirely: no drive out to Linebaugh or Racetrack Road, no parking, no waiting room. I arrive with everything I need and set up in your own home.
And it's a genuinely better experience. You get my full, undivided attention for the whole appointment, in your own space, at a pace that suits you rather than the salon's. Westchase sits a little further from my South Tampa base, so depending on your exact address a modest travel fee may apply. I'll always confirm that when you book, so you know the full picture before we set a time.
European training, delivered to your home
I started my career in Tampa in the late 1990s, then spent nearly two decades working across Europe. I trained and practiced in France and the Netherlands before settling in London, where I co-owned Hairport, a pinup-inspired salon in the center of the city. That long stretch abroad is where my technique comes from — precise cutting, considered color, and a real focus on the health of the hair and scalp.
After returning home to Tampa, I renewed my Florida cosmetology license and built Hair by Heni as a private mobile studio grounded in an organic, low-tox philosophy: gentle on hair, gentle on the body, gentle on the home. A few days a week I also work at Blow Bar in Tampa. My mobile clients get all of that European training brought directly to them.
Sensitive-scalp and post-chemotherapy care
Many of my clients come to me because their scalps react to the products most salons use as standard. I specialize in sensitive scalps, working with low-tox, ammonia-free products chosen specifically to avoid irritation.
I'm also bringing a specialization in post-chemotherapy hair care to my mobile practice. If you're returning to hair care after treatment, you know how much can change — the texture, the fragility, the way your scalp responds. My approach is gentle and unhurried, moving at a pace that feels right for you, in the comfort and privacy of your own home rather than a busy salon. Post-chemotherapy care is priced on consultation, because it always starts with a real conversation about what you need.
How booking works
I confirm every booking personally. You choose your service and preferred time through the booking page, then I review the details and confirm directly. I prefer this approach because it lets me get a sense of your hair, your schedule, and the travel details first. Payment happens at the appointment by Tap-to-Pay, Venmo, Zelle, or cash.
When I arrive, I bring all my own tools and products. All you need is a bit of space and access to water — your kitchen or bathroom is usually perfect. If you're in Westchase or West Park Village and you'd rather have your hair done at home than drive out to a salon, send a booking request through the site. I'll get back to you to confirm a time and travel details, and bring the studio to you.
