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 five year old bubba.
Best,
Lacy Messinger, Owner/Founder
Annie Tucci
Balayage, Blonding, and Beaded Row Extensions
Annie is an experienced stylist who loves a challenge. She considers herself a perfectionist in achieving her clients’ blonding goals, and will stop at nothing to get you your perfect tone! She has had extensive blonding training with L’Oreal & Redken, and is certified in hand-tied extensions. Annie shows genuine care and concern for anyone who sits in her chair, and one of her favorite parts of being a hairstylist is the valuable one-on-one time together she gets with her clients.
Andrea Frick
Makeup and Airbrush Tanning
My name is Andrea and I am fascinated with the world of beauty. I have been airbrush tanning for five years with only the best in organic products. That passion has extended into makeup within the past few years. There is nothing more fulfilling than bringing out someone's natural beauty by the world of makeup artistry.
Camden Morgan
Blonde Specialist, Lived-in Blondes, Beaded Row Extensions, Razor Cutting
Cami is excited to be part of the Black Label Society team. Coming from a family of hairstylists, she is fulfilling her childhood dream of making others look and feel their very best through the art of hair. Camden has a rare natural ability that is quickly making her a client favorite at BLS. Raised in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, she is loving immersing herself in city life.
She loves all things blonde, razor cutting and is a Bellami Certified Extensionist. When it comes to blonding, hair health is the top priority and she loves creating beachy blondes (think looking like you just finished a summer lifeguarding). Camden is freshly back from NYC, taking a balayage class and learning a new take on lived-in blonding. As for extensions, she loves the bespoke looks created from blending multiple colors of hand-tied extensions. Passionate about advanced education, Camden has taken multiple extension certifications, is planning a trip to NYC next year for even more blonding classes!
