Ashley Johnson

Owner and Stylist

 Hi there! I’m Ashley — a dedicated hairstylist and proud owner of my own salon, bringing over 16 years of hands-on experience to the chair. I specialize in creating stylish, confidence-boosting looks for clients of all ages, from bold highlights and playful colors to sharp, modern cuts. I’m also certified in machine-tied hair extensions, helping people achieve the hair they’ve always dreamed of. Over the years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry, fueling my passion for evolving trends and techniques. Every appointment is a chance to uplift, inspire, and make people feel amazing — all in a fun, welcoming space.

Sedona Harrington

Stylist

Hi! I’m Sedona, your go-to hairstylist. I have a passion for precision and detail. I specialize in fades & scissor cutting. I love a good transformation with an amazing haircut and blowout.

Being a hairstylist is special to me because I get to be a part of so many big life moments. Some of my clients even joke that I’m on their “must-see” list whenever they’re back in town, right after visiting their mom.

I love evolving as a stylist, growing my relationships with clients, and finding new and best ways to achieve and maintain your look. Booking with me is super easy. You can call, text me, or book using my link.
