About

She opened the studio on her own after several months of working in hairstyling, and it operates from a space inside Rachel's Rustic Roots in Gastonia.

The menu runs from cuts, shampoo and blowouts to single-process and multi-step color, including root retouches, all-over color, platinum blonde, balayage and highlight and lowlight combinations. Extensions are offered as K-Tip and weft installs, with a paid extension consultation for clients who want to confirm length, color match and whether extensions suit their hair. Facials, brow services, men's cuts and beard trims, and a range of in-service treatments round out the list.

Booking is set up around a short consultation for many services, and new extension clients are asked to start with the extension consultation. Late arrivals and cancellations are handled under the studio's written policies, which are covered in the highlights. Mobile appointments are possible for an added travel fee, with the address noted when booking.

Each appointment is built around the client's own style goals.
