Simone Booth
Hi, I’m Simone Booth, the proud founder and owner of NW2D—short for No Way 2 Duplicate. What began as a passion for all things hair has grown into a thriving business with two locations in Northwest Arkansas. My NWA journey started behind the chair in a local barbershop, and through vision, faith, and hard work, I’ve built a brand that celebrates individuality, culture, and creativity. As a NWA-based hairstylist, I specialize in African-American hair, with a love for wigs, braids, and locs. My goal is to not only deliver exceptional styles but to create a space where clients can unwind, feel seen, and leave more confident than they came. I’m also deeply committed to supporting other beauty professionals—from cosmetologists and barbers to estheticians and nail techs—as they grow into the next level of their journey. NW2D isn’t just a salon; it’s a platform for empowerment, excellence, and originality.
