Hey beauties! Are you tired of your old style and in need of a drastic change? Do you need a refresh on a look you already love? Even if you just need to treat yourself to a relaxing shampoo and style, I would love to be your stylist! I studied at Modern Academy of Cosmetology from 2019-2023, and acquired a full cosmetology license soon after. Creating unique styles for unique individuals is the drive behind my business. I am constantly continuing education and adding services to better serve you! Worried about children in the salon? Don't be! I have a young daughter and love meeting and helping littles! I have also coached at Geronimo Gymnastics for numerous years, so I have lots of experience with children of all ages. Book today for a long-lasting hair-lationship!

I’m Alyssa, your local redhead stylist, and I have a passion for the beauty community! I started my education in 2021, at Modern Academy of Cosmetology. After graduating in 2022, I furthered my knowledge at Hardy’s Hair Studio before finding my salon home. When I’m not behind the chair, you can usually find me student teaching at Modern Academy! In my downtime I love to ride horses, read tales of far away lands, and build my life with my husband. I hope to see you in my chair soon!

Hello beauties! My name is Lindsay Dixon + I am from Loretto, Tennessee. I graduated high school in 2022 + pursued an associate’s degree in Psychology through 2024. During that time, I realized this wasn’t the path for me. I had a desire to explore something creative that allowed me to express myself + make others feel confident + beautiful. In July 2024, I began a nail tech journey at Modern Academy of Cosmetology + can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! While I love every aspect of nail care, nail art is where my heart truly lies. I am thrilled to be graduating early 2025, + have accepted a future position in Modern Hair’s Killen location. This is an exciting new chapter in my career, + I can’t wait to continue growing + sharing my passion with all of you! Thank you for being a part of my journey!
