Carrie

Hello, I’m Carrie. I’ve been playing with hair my entire life and still love it to this day. I’m a colorist, so I love doing any type of color but I specialize in fantasy hair and have been experimenting with fun color for over 20 years. I also enjoy cutting asymmetric, choppy, alternative hair and although I love alt hair I kill everyday, lived-in hair too. I also braid, do some hair extensions, and I’m a lash tech offering lifts, classic, volume, and of course fantasy lashes. I’m always educating myself and adding new services to my repertoire. In the future I intend to add PMU, skin services and become an educator.

Thanks for learning a little about me. I can’t wait to hear about you and make you feel amazing and confident when you leave my chair!

Emma

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m 20 years old and from a small town in northwest OH. I recently graduated from Paul Mitchell Columbus in March of 2024 and my favorite services include anything dimensional! I love doing all color services, but blonding, lowlighting, and lived-in looks are definitely my favorite transformations. I love to look back at the before and afters of the services I do to see how I can continue to improve on any skill. I love to build a connection with my clients so tell me ANYTHING!

In my free time, I enjoy visiting new coffee shops, having a movie night with some of my favorite people, or heading back to my hometown to see my family and my two favorite golden retrievers. Traveling is a big dream of mine, so definitely tell me about the coolest place you’ve been to so I can add it to my bucket list and hopefully visit someday! In the meantime, I hope to see you in my chair so that I can give you the hair of your dreams!

Lakyn

My love for hair started when I was a little girl and at 18 I started dabbling in color with friends, family, co-workers, and (of course) myself. I have a background in corporate training for 10 years and then decided to go back to school for my advanced cosmetology license at TIGI Creative School- Salon Institute in 2016. I have been an independent contractor ever since and even carried on my love for teaching working for Brazilian Blowout as an educator.

My specialties include but are not limited to: blonding, bobs, and smoothing treatments.

Destiny

I specialize in fantasy and block color styles. My love for all things hair drives my passion for creating vibrant, unique looks that blend artistic vision with professional expertise. I graduated from Paul Mitchell The School Columbus in July of 2022 with an honors in color. I earned my advanced and instructor's cosmetology licenses in November of 2023.

I'm a Columbus local, born and raised. In my day to day life, I have a passion for music. I love discovering new bands and I'm always on the lookout for something new to listen to! I love to go to live concerts whenever I get the chance! I collect vinyl and heavily use my Spotify. I also play video games in my free time and enjoy everything from competitive shooters to cozy games. I have a 5 year old bunny named Dyspo and he's my absolute favorite thing to talk about! I absolutely love meeting new people and hearing about everyone's quirky interests! I can't wait to meet you!

Erica

Hi there, I'm Erica, a Salon Institute graduate with a passion for hair coloring! I specialize in creating vivid and dimensional looks that truly stand out (but don’t you worry, there remains a huge place in my heart for those who like to keep it simple). From color blocking to more blended, lived-in looks, I love it all. Whether you're looking for a bold, new look or a subtle transformation, I've got you covered.

In addition to my passion for dimensional color and vivids, I have a great love for men's haircutting. From classic cuts to more modern trends, I love to create a custom look that truly enhances my client’s features and personal style!

Outside of the salon, I am a cat mom of 4 (whom I will certainly share photos of) who loves to bake, go to concerts, and travel alongside my friends and family. On any given day, you would likely find me snuggling up on the couch with my lovely boyfriend and kitties watching some good ol’ reality TV.

I hope that all client’s leave my chair feeling more confident than when they came in. You, as a client, are my top priority, and I am committed to listening hard and going the distance so that you fall in love with your look. My chair is a safe space for us to chat, relax and bring your hair dreams to life! I can’t wait to work with you!

Ellie

Hi guys!! My name is Ellie Lynch and I’m 20 years old from Washington CH, OH. I started my cosmetology school journey straight out of high school and got my license in December of 2023. I quickly became passionate about all things color and blonding which will always have my heart. Any transformation no matter how big or small will get me excited every single time. So far I’ve fallen in love with the creative aspects of the industry as well as getting to make people feel special and heard while sitting in my chair. Your hair’s integrity will always be #1 to me as I’ve also been through a crazy hair journey myself. I’m a huge perfectionist and enjoy focusing on even the smallest details to give you the hair of your dreams!

Outside of the salon I’m usually a homebody unless I get the opportunity to travel somewhere exciting. I jump at any chance I get to go somewhere new with family and friends. When at home, I’m habitually online, always trying to expand my knowledge. You’ll typically find me scrolling for hours on TikTok or Instagram, which is where I’ve found most of my tips and tricks. I also have 3 cats (please ask me about them) that I could talk about all day if you let me. When the weather’s nice, I really love to be outside exploring the area and trying new restaurants or shopping at local shops. I really love to meet new people and hear their stories which makes my job so much fun and worth it to me. I’d love to get you on the path to being the best version of yourself one appointment at a time!

Stevie

Hi everyone! I'm Stefanie, I’m a fresh 23 year old that has been in the hair industry for 3 years now! I graduated from Paul Mitchell back in 2021. From the time I was a little girl I have always loved all things beauty. In kindergarten I started doing my own hair and refused to let my mom do it for me. By middle school I was playing with makeup and learning the basics. I’m a fashion and beauty guru.

In my free time I will try new makeup brands, explore new hairstyles, and Pinterest all sorts of fashion clothing. From that, I love being with my friends, having girls night outs and having excuses to dress up and wear fashionable outfits. On a regular day though, I enjoy working out at the gym, shopping and spending time with my 2 year old Rottweiler Milani!

Within the beauty industry I specialize in blonding, balayages, dimensional color, and brunettes. I am certified in hair extensions and Brazilian Blowouts. My mission is to make my clients feel beautiful and confident as I solely focus on giving you guys that luxury dream hair. If you are interested in booking with me please get in touch! So excited to see you beauties!
