Owner
Hi babes! Mandy here! With the support of my husband, Shane, I entered the hairdressing world in 2002. From the time I was a little girl I knew this was my calling. Being surrounded by brothers & raised by my dad (something I am sooo proud of) I was blown away when first introduced to a curling iron!
What I didn’t know is that I would open a salon home that would be a staple in Central AR for years to come.
My purpose in this industry has naturally evolved…Not only do I LOVE beautiful, healthy hair (God knows I do)- I have a passion for elevating the beauty industry for stylists!
I want to encourage others to DREAM BIG, let us guide you along the way & then go for it! I LOVE breaking barriers & doing the unexpected! I love being a part of new ways of thinking in our industry!.
Our team even has the opportunity to opt in to health care benefits as well as vacation pay which is essentialy unheard of in this industry. My life consists of 2 stinky boys, designing homes with my hubby, continuously planning a trip (where next!?) & experiencing nature in all its forms. & please. GIVE ME ALL THE SUNSHINE.
