The Team
THE MANE LOUNGE
FOUNDER
Katie is the face behind The Mane Lounge.
Katie wanted to create an unforgettable salon experience while also keeping an intimate and connected atmosphere between guest and stylist.
As she would say, she wants it to be a “vibe”. Her main priority is communication, so all questions and concerns are thoroughly addressed.
Katie specializes in modern blonding, low maintenance color and extensions.
With 7 years in the industry, she is still constantly educating herself through different artists around the country and also educating her staff.
Her goal is to provide you an unforgettable experience every time you sit in her chair, hear your concerns and provide solutions while prioritizing hair integrity.
She loves educating her clients to get the most out of their investment with her. When she’s not running the salon she is a wife, boy mom, dog mom and gym enthusiast.
Dark chocolate is her weakness and sushi is her go to.

Meet Kelsey- A Georgia girl born + raised who spent the last 10 years in Utah doing hair! Her family just moved to South Carolina and couldn't be happier to be back in the South.
With 8 years in the industry, she's passionate about continuing her education and bringing you the latest trends, tips, and tricks. She specializes in Low Maintenance, Lived-In Color, and Beaded Weft Extensions. Overall, she's here to increase the longevity of both your color and health of your hair.
With as much as she loves hair, she loves people more. Building genuine connections and trust with her guests is the best part of her job.
She's severely out numbered at home with three little boys and a husband of 8 years. If she's not at home with her family or behind the chair, there's 100% chance she's binging sour candy while planning her next getaway.

There was a time when I was right where you are – feeling like a cog in the corporate machine, wondering:
"Did God really intend this for me?"
And then? I had a divine wake-up call.
I broke free from the 9-5 chains, launched my own business and let me tell you — freedom never tasted so sweet.
Six years and multiple 6-figure businesses later, I'm not just surviving — I'm thriving, living the life I always knew God had in store for me.
Now, I'm here to pass the torch. I'm here to walk alongside you as you take your leap of faith.
I've got your back, every step of the way, sharing every lesson learned, every success, every stumble, every get-back-up-and-try-again moment.
Imagine this: no more begging for vacation days, no more dread-filled Sundays, no more settling for less than you deserve.
Whether you've got a brilliant business idea brewing or you're still figuring it out - I'm here, cheering you on.
Enough with the corporate cage, darling. You're ready to shake things up, to live differently, to ignite your passion. And I'm here, ready to guide you on your path.
Your future is waiting. And trust me, it's got nothing on your past.
