THE STYLISTS WHO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN
MEET THE TEAM
Mane Haven is home to a team of passionate stylists who love what they do, and it shows. We’re here to create effortless beauty, build real relationships, and keep the energy just as good as the hair.
MEET KELLY
Owner, Stylist
Hi, I’m Kelly — co-owner of Mane Haven Salon, stylist, proud mom, dog mom, DIY lover, mentor, and the Finance + Operations Lead that keeps Mane Haven running smoothly. Owning a salon has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. After going to beauty school, that dream quickly turned into a clear vision — and I’ve been chasing it ever since.
With over 13 years in the industry, I’ve developed a deep passion for customized color, bridal styling, and hand-tied weft extensions. While I’m currently only accepting new guests for extensions, my focus has always been on creating beautiful, personalized results and making sure every guest leaves feeling confident and cared for.
As a salon owner and mentor, I’m dedicated to supporting our team, nurturing client relationships, and building systems that allow our business to grow while staying rooted in creativity, connection, and consistency.

I specialize in blonde transformations, hand-tied weft extensions, and customized blended color that lasts. I love giving my clients hair that fits their lifestyle and grows out beautifully.
I’m very family-oriented and believe in creating a space where everyone feels welcome. At Mane Haven, we’re all about connection, comfort, and making luxury service accessible to every guest who walks through our doors.
These days, you’ll find me working behind the chair during the week, mentoring our team, managing our social platforms, and handling all the behind-the-scenes magic that keeps Mane Haven running smoothly.

Once I started assisting in a salon, I knew this was exactly what I was meant to do.
My passion lies in creating bright, dimensional blondes and effortless lived-in color that help my clients feel confident and beautiful. I love being able to truly connect with the people in my chair—getting to know them, catching up, and creating a look that fits their lifestyle. I’m also continuing to grow my skills in extensions and expanding my education every day.

I also offer hand-tied weft extensions, men’s haircuts, and sensory-friendly haircuts. I have additional training in working with autistic and sensory-sensitive guests of all ages, with a focus on creating a patient, comfortable, and accommodating salon experience based on each guest’s individual needs.
