Carter Miller Hillcrest

summer may be winding down, but your hair doesn’t know what month it is. ☀️

if you’re still spending time outside, at the pool, in the ocean, on walks, playing pickleball, chasing kids, or just living life in the heat…your hair is still taking a hit.

here’s why we keep reaching for SU/ aftersun mask long after vacation ends:

☀️ uv exposure breaks down proteins in the hair, making it feel rough, dry, and more prone to breakage.

💦 chlorine + salt water pull moisture from the hair and can leave it tangled, dull, and harder to manage.

🌡️ heat + sweat mean you’re often washing more frequently, which can strip away moisture if you’re not replacing it.

🎨 if your hair is color-treated, sun exposure can fade your color faster and leave it looking less vibrant.

what we love about SU/ is that it’s not just for beach vacations. it’s a quick, nourishing mask that helps replenish hydration, improve softness, and bring your hair back to life after all the things summer throws at it.

consider it your “i touched grass today” hair treatment. 🌿

your sunscreen shouldn’t be seasonal…and neither should your haircare. 🤍

we’re looking for our next salon assistant. someone who’s kind, dependable, eager to learn, and genuinely loves all things hair + beauty.

you’ll get hands-on experience with shampooing, blowouts, color appointments, content creation, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that keeps a busy salon running. most importantly, you’ll help create the kind of experience that keeps clients coming back.

perfect for a recent cosmetology grad or anyone ready to build confidence, sharpen their skills, and learn in a supportive, creative environment. 🤍

think you’d be a good fit? send us a dm or email us at [email protected] and tell us a little about yourself. 💌

Meet Adriana. 🤍

She has officially made the move from Texas to Little Rock, and we’re so happy she’s here!

She’s incredibly kind, genuinely sweet, and one of those people who makes you feel comfortable the second you sit in her chair. Whether you’re chatting the whole appointment or just happy to relax, she’s the easiest person to spend a few hours with.

She’s all about lived-in color, extensions, effortless style, and helping you leave feeling like the best version of yourself, but with better hair.

If you haven’t met Adriana yet, this is your sign. We have a feeling she’s going to feel like home here just as quickly as she makes her clients feel at home. 🤍

meet zoe. 🤍

zoe grew up in this industry. her mom was a hairstylist (who we love!) and kim and lish first met her when she was just a tiny toddler running around the salon. getting to watch her grow into the stylist she is today has been pretty special.

she’s one of those people who immediately makes you feel comfortable. she’s kind, easy to talk to, and has such a calm presence that your appointment never feels intimidating.

and behind the chair? she’s seriously talented. zoe has an eye for color that’s beyond her years and creates some of the prettiest, most effortless-looking hair.

if you’re looking for someone who’s thoughtful and incredibly talented, you’ll love sitting in zoe’s chair. we couldn’t be happier to have her as part of the carter | miller family.

meet josey. 🤍

if you’ve ever wondered who’s behind some of the best men’s cuts in the salon, there’s a good chance it’s her. josey is one of the few stylists on our team who loves men’s grooming just as much as beautiful, seamless color, and she does both with so much care.

she has one of those calm, grounding personalities that makes you feel immediately comfortable. she’s dependable in every sense of the word, usually the first one through the door each morning, and someone you can always count on to show up for her clients and her team.

whether you’re looking for a fresh fade, lived-in color, or just a stylist who makes the whole appointment feel easy, josey is your girl.

we’re so happy she’s part of the carter | miller family. 🤍

It's our Ava girl’s birthday! Help us send her ALL the happiest birthday wishes. We love you, Ava!

female friendships deserve more credit.

they’re the text that says “that color looked amazing.”

the coffee run before a long day. ☕

the laugh you can hear from the other side of the salon.

the person who reminds you who you are when you’ve forgotten for a minute.

behind every appointment is a room full of women cheering each other on, helping each other grow, and making work feel a little more like home.

we’re really grateful we get to do life together. 🤍

meet heather. 🤍

if you’ve ever been in the salon while she’s here, you’ve probably heard her laugh before you spotted her. it’s one of those laughs that fills the whole room in the best way.

heather is one of our OGs and have known kim and lish for more than 15 years. she’s steady, incredibly talented, and the kind of stylist who makes everyone feel right at home the second they sit down.

when she’s not creating beautiful hair, she’s collecting books, hunting for vintage finds, eating weekly sushi, planning her next adventure, or happily walking 10 miles on vacation just because.

if you’ve been lucky enough to spend time in her chair, leave her some love below. 🤍
