Karisa Beasley's Studio Shag Hair Salon

What a fun night! Tonight, Studio S**g was named the Hair Salon winner at Ocala’s 2026 Community Choice Awards, and my heart is full. ❤️
With so many incredible salons and talented stylists in our community, simply being nominated felt like a win to me. To actually take home the gold is an honor I am deeply grateful for.
To everyone who nominated , voted, shared a kind word, or cheered us on …thank you. You took time out of your lives to support this little salon of mine, and that means more than I can put into words.
For 26 years, Studio S**g has been a place where I get to do what I love with people I love in a place I love and build relationships I treasure. Thank you for trusting me with your hair, sharing your stories, recommending me to your friends, and coming back to my chair. You are the reason this evening has meaning.
Congratulations to my fellow nominees and all of tonight’s winners. It’s a privilege to be part of this talented, hardworking community.
Also special Congratulations to as well Our Neighbor Liz and her team on their win!
I’m heading home tonight with an award, a grateful heart, and so much appreciation for the people who are always supporting showing up and sharing mad love!! Thank you, Ocala. Thank you, to my Studio S**g tribe. ❤️🫶🏻
With love and gratitude,

A baby doesn’t arrive with an instruction manual and becoming a parent changes far more than your daily routine. ❤️
Together: The First Year was created especially for young and first-time parents who are learning how to care for a new baby while also caring for themselves, their relationships, and the life they are still building.
Inside, parents will find practical, age-by-age guidance for baby’s first year, along with encouragement for the very real parts of becoming a family: exhaustion, communication, mental wellness, finances, boundaries, asking for help, and finding joy in the middle of imperfect days.
It is written for real families, tired brains, and parents who do not need more judgment they need useful tools, reassurance, and someone reminding them, “You can do this.”
Together: The First Year is now available on Amazon

Becoming a parent doesn’t mean giving up the person you are or the future you are still creating. ❤️
Building My Life: A Parenting Workbook was designed to help parents pause, think, dream, plan, and begin turning their hopes into action.
With approachable exercises for goals, identity, relationships, money, career, gratitude, values, family life, and legacy, this workbook makes room for an important truth: life rarely follows a perfectly straight line.
You do not have to have everything figured out. You simply need a place to begin.
Building My Life can be used alongside Together: The First Year or on its own by anyone who wants more clarity, direction, and intention in the life they are building.
Available now on Amazon:

The Author started this project just trying to create something useful for two very young people she loves who were about to become parents. That grew into something bigger... a resource she realized might help other young families who don't necessarily have every answer, every tool, or a perfect village around them yet.
And during the process, those two people actually became parents ❤️Just one week prior to when this project was due to release .
TOGETHER: THE FIRST YEAR is Guidance for the journey alongside BUILDING MY LIFE Tools to put that guidance into action
