Today we’d like to introduce you to Bre Pontecorvo.
Hi Bre, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I’m Bre Pontecorvo, the founder of Mood Haus. I started this space because I wanted beauty to feel like art again. After more than ten years behind the chair, I learned that transformation is never just about appearance. It’s about energy, story, and connection.
My background crosses a lot of creative ground. I’ve worked in color, photography, design, and direction. Each part of that work shapes how I build experiences inside Mood Haus. Every detail is intentional; the light, the sound, the scent, the pace. It’s all meant to pull people into the present moment.
Mood Haus is still growing, just like I am. It’s an ongoing project in creation, community, and self-expression. I see it as a living piece of art, made up of everyone who walks through the door.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Building Mood Haus has been as much about survival as it has been about vision. I started this with almost nothing but a clear picture in my head of what I wanted to create. There were months where I had to choose between investing in the space or keeping my head above water. I’ve faced setbacks most people never see. The kind that test whether you really believe in what you’re doing.
Running a business while raising kids and rebuilding my life has forced me to grow in ways I didn’t plan. There were moments of doubt, exhaustion, and straight-up fear. There were times I felt invisible trying to build something that didn’t fit the usual mold of a salon or small business. But those moments taught me how to work smarter, how to trust my gut, and how to keep showing up when things get messy.
I’ve learned that being creative doesn’t mean being reckless. It means being resourceful. It means taking whatever’s in front of you; limited money, limited energy, limited time, and turning it into something that still carries beauty and meaning.
Mood Haus is still becoming what it’s meant to be. The hard parts have given it depth. Every challenge, every failure, every risk, it’s all part of the story.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Mood Haus is an art-driven salon and creative studio built on self-expression, energy, and community. We specialize in transformative color, blonding, extensions, scalp rituals, and sensory-based services that help clients feel deeply seen. Every experience is designed with intention, from the lighting and scent to the rhythm of the appointment.
Our focus is authenticity. Mood Haus isn’t about surface beauty or trends. It’s about transformation as an act of art. Every detail is meant to evoke feeling and bring people closer to their truest expression.
We are a queer-led and affirming space. That means we celebrate all identities, all bodies, and all forms of beauty. Our clients know they can show up as themselves and be received with care, respect, and curiosity.
What sets us apart is how we blend luxury with rebellion. Mood Haus has a mood of its own: moody, intentional, and alive. We’re proud to be building something that goes beyond the service itself. This brand is a movement toward inclusivity, artistry, and radical self-acceptance.
Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
Woolf, Camus, and Nietzsche have shaped not just how I create but how I live.
Woolf taught me that creation needs space and stillness, that to make something real you have to protect the room it grows in. That idea became the foundation for Mood Haus; a place where people can exist as they are and transform without apology.
Camus taught me to find beauty in the chaos, to accept that creation and struggle are part of the same process. When things fell apart, I learned to keep building anyway. There’s something sacred in that resistance.
Nietzsche’s words live in everything I do. The idea of becoming who you are, not what the world expects, is what Mood Haus stands for. It’s not about beauty in the traditional sense. It’s about the act of becoming. About evolution, rebellion, and choosing yourself over and over again.
Mood Haus is what happens when philosophy meets art, and survival becomes creation.
