Founded by Lindsey Mollenhauer, Salon Bounce grew out of a need for better curls and is the sister salon to Elevencherry Salon in Des Moines. The salon offers dry cutting, deep shaping, and styling that respects natural curl texture, alongside pixies, shags, mullets, bobs, clipper cuts, kids cuts, clean lines, classic highlights, and vivid or platinum color work. Lindsey has been a stylist since 2002 and is also the owner of Elevencherry Salon and founder of The Atelier, having won regional, national, and international hair awards in men's hair, curly hair, bridal looks, and color.

The Bounce crew includes stylist Natalie, who has worked since 2023 and specializes in vintage-inspired pin-up and Rockabilly styles, shags, mullets, color-blocking, vivid hair color, and blowouts; stylist Alondra, working since 2020, who specializes in emo-inspired hair, razor cuts, vivid color, and soft lived-in styles and is fluent in Spanish; and stylist Nancy, working since 2019.

The salon sits on Ingersoll Avenue near 31st Street, less than half a mile from Des Moines University and Des Moines University Clinic, and roughly four-tenths of a mile from Callanan Junior High School in the Arbor Peaks neighborhood.

Lindsey's decades of competition work and her mentorship of the next generation of stylists shape the salon's focus on craft and respect for the curl in the heart of Des Moines.
