Dennise Porrata

Stylist / Colorist

Hi, I’m Dennise! I joined Orange Salon in August of 2025, but I’ve been doing hair professionally for 9 years. I graduated from Worcester Technical High School in 2017 and have been working in a salon ever since.

I’m a well-rounded hairstylist who believes a great appointment starts with a great consultation. I take the time to listen to each guest’s hair goals, talk through what they’re looking for, and create a plan to achieve a look that works for their hair, lifestyle, and personal style.

I enjoy working with all types of hair and am experienced in hair color, from maintaining your natural color or covering roots to creating dimensional highlights. I also enjoy both long and short haircuts, curly hair, and hair styling. In addition to these services, I offer keratin treatments, men’s haircuts, formal styling, and waxing services.

I’m passionate about continuing my education and have taken several classes throughout my career to keep my skills and techniques up to date.

Outside of the salon, I love hiking, traveling, cooking, and trying new foods. I also enjoy spending time with my niece and nephew whenever I can.

I love helping my guests feel confident in their hair and look forward to welcoming you into my chair!
