Meet Madison✨

Originally from Georgia, she has been passionate about the beauty industry since a young age. She has now been doing hair for the past three years, and while growing her career behind the chair, she discovered a love for nails as well. She has been doing nails for the last year and specializes in blonding services, combining creativity and attention to detail to help every client feel their absolute best.

Outside of the salon, she loves spending time with her friends, family, and pets, making the most of every day off. Traveling is one of her favorite hobbies, and when football season rolls around, you can always count on her cheering on Georgia. Her go-to drink choice is either a Blue Slush Alani or a Cotton Candy Alani for the perfect pick-me-up.

More than anything, she wants every client who sits in her chair to feel safe, comfortable, and completely themselves. Her goal is to create a welcoming and personal experience where clients can relax, feel cared for, and leave feeling even more beautiful and confident than when they walked in.

Meet Ally✨

Originally from Georgia, she’s been assisting for around 7 months and has already brought such a fun, hardworking energy to the salon. Ally says her favorite part of assisting is staying busy 24/7, being around such an uplifting team, and getting to work in an environment she truly enjoys every day.

Her passion for the beauty industry started when her stepmom, who is also a hairstylist, introduced her to the world of hair. From that moment on, she knew this was exactly what she wanted to do. She’s always loved all things beauty and is excited to continue growing her skills behind the chair.

One day, Ally hopes to specialize in blonding and beautifully blended lived-in looks. She says Sydney inspires her the most because of how talented and passionate she is about her craft. During her training with the team, Ally is especially excited to learn more styling techniques and continue perfecting her artistry.

Outside of the salon, you can usually find her at the gym, spending time with family, or traveling — especially anywhere near the beach. And on a busy salon day, her go-to drinks are a vanilla iced protein latte from Starbucks or a strawberry dragon fruit refresher from Dunkin’! We’re so excited to have Ally on our team and can’t wait for you all to get to know her better 🤍

Meet Mariah✨

Originally from Dawsonville, Georgia, she brings a warm small town charm and a passion for helping others feel their absolute best. With three years behind the chair, she has quickly found her niche specializing in blondes and lived-in color creating effortless, dimensional looks that leave clients feeling confident and beautiful long after they leave the salon.

When she’s not in the salon, you can usually find her spending quality time with her husband and their two poodles, especially out on the lake enjoying the sunshine and slowing down from the busy week. She also loves antiquing, shopping, and being involved in her church community. And if you’re wondering about her favorite sports team… of course it’s Georgia! ♥️

Her go-to drinks? A loaded tea for an energy boost or a Chick-fil-A vanilla iced coffee to start the day right.

More than anything, her goal is for every client sitting in her chair to feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident. She loves building genuine connections while helping clients achieve hair that feels natural, effortless, and uniquely them.

Meet Olivia✨

Originally from Newburgh, Indiana, Olivia has been in the beauty industry for a year and a half as a salon assistant and has loved every minute of it. Growing up, she was always doing friends’ and family members’ hair, and quickly realized how much she loved helping people feel confident and beautiful. That passion is what inspired her to pursue a career in the beauty industry.

One of Olivia’s favorite parts of assisting has been learning from all of the talented girls in the salon while building meaningful relationships with both the team and clients. She loves being surrounded by creativity and is always eager to grow her skills behind the chair.

Outside of the salon, Olivia loves traveling with her mom, taking her dog Millie on new adventures, and trying new restaurants with friends. A fun fact about her? She loves playing and watching golf! During a busy salon day, you can usually find her with a Cotton Candy Alani in one hand and salt & vinegar chips nearby. 💕

As she continues her training, Olivia hopes to specialize in extensions and men’s cuts. She’s especially excited to learn more about extension techniques and discover new ways to continue growing into the best stylist she can be.🤍

Meet Avalin✨

Originally from Georgia, Avalin has been in the beauty industry as a salon assistant for the past two years, with previous salon experience bringing her total to nearly three years. She has always had a passion for beauty and knew early on that this was the career path she wanted to pursue.

As a salon assistant, Avalin loves being able to learn from different stylists, experience new techniques, and continue growing her knowledge every day. One of her favorite things about the industry is seeing how much confidence and happiness hair can bring to someone, which is what motivates her most. Avalin hopes to one day specialize in lived-in color and blonding services.

Outside of the salon, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, fishing, and traveling whenever she gets the chance.

On a busy salon day, you’ll probably catch her with a dragon fruit refresher with peach juice in hand 🍑✨ She’s excited to continue learning as much as she can while training with our team, and we can’t wait to watch her grow!

Meet Jess ✨

Originally from Dahlonega, Georgia, she brings small town charm, a love for simple living, and a passion for making others feel confident and beautiful. She has been behind the chair for two years and has quickly found her specialty in blonding and loves helping clients achieve bright, beautiful looks that make them feel their absolute best.

When she’s not in the salon, you can usually find her spending time with her husband Kyle and her dog Meg, enjoying football Saturdays cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs, or watching NASCAR races. She also loves being outdoors, whether that means relaxing at the lake, soaking up the sun by the pool, or simply enjoying nature and the lifestyle she loves most.

Her go-to drink order? A Strawberry Açaí Lemonade Refresher or Diet Dr Pepper!

More than anything, she hopes every client who sits in her chair leaves feeling beautiful, confident, and completely themselves. Her passion for agriculture, the outdoors, and living a simple lifestyle shines through in both her personality and the welcoming experience she creates for everyone who visits her chair🤍

Meet Kerri✨

Originally from McDonough, Georgia, she brings over 17 years of experience behind the chair, with the last 3 years spent perfecting her craft at Loft. Her passion for hair shines through in everything she does, especially when it comes to creating modern bob haircuts and beautiful, customized blonding services and custom color. She loves helping her clients feel confident, refreshed, and truly seen when they leave her chair.

When she’s not at the salon, she’s all about enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Whether she’s spending quality time with her family, getting lost in a good book, crocheting, catching up on her favorite TV shows, or doing a little shopping, she knows how to recharge and stay inspired. You might also find her grabbing her go-to drink, a brown sugar shaken espresso or wandering through Barnes & Noble or Sephora.

Outside of the salon, she’s a proud wife and mom to two wonderful girls, along with a full house that includes one dog and three cats (she fully embraces her “crazy cat lady” title!). And while sports aren’t her main thing, if she had to choose, she’ll cheer on the Georgia Bulldogs. 🐾

Her chair is a space where every client can feel completely comfortable being themselves. She prides herself on truly listening. Whether you’re in the mood for great conversation or prefer a relaxing, quiet appointment, she’s happy to meet you where you are. Her goal is for every client to feel heard, valued, and at ease from start to finish.
