THE STYLISTS

Lacy Messinger - Salon Owner
Balayage, Beaded Row and Fusion Extensions, On-location Wedding Hair
I have been passionate about the beauty and hair world since I was a little girl. That dream became reality in 2004, when I started cosmetology school. In my time working at one of the prestigious Jacques Dessange salons, I fell in love with both the world of french hairdressing (balayage in particular) and product knowledge. It was then that I started to truly understand the power of educating yourself, being prescriptive when choosing products, and the importance of healthy hair. Since then, I have studied all facets of hair, traveling from the east to the west coast for education. I am a L’Oreal Certified Balayage Expert, taken multiple razor cutting workshops with Bumble & Bumble, studied runway and red carpet looks with Kerastase and taken a braiding workshop with Heather Chapman to name a few. I most currently have become a Certified Bellami Extension Artist and am certified in tape-in, fusion, I-tip, and beaded row extensions. We can choose one type or customize and do a hybrid of a few different types!
These days you can find me rocking out some balayage in my salon, researching and developing new product ideas, and spending time with my amazing eight year old bubba.
Best,
Lacy Messinger, Owner/Founder
