Barbi Lee - Owner, Luxury Extension Artist, Redken Color Certified

Barbi began her career in 2000 after moving home to Florence from Nashville, Tennessee. Her interest in expressing herself artistically lead to choosing the beauty industry as her home. After 8 years of developing her skills and building a solid clientele, she decided to open her own business. In 2007, her dream became reality. That dream was to create a salon where quality of services and excellence in customer service were built with a team centered atmosphere as the foundation. Over the past 15 years,  her love for teaching and mentoring has led her to create a cohesive team of talented, dedicated, and passionate stylists that share common goals and vision for specializing in haircolor and extension services.  Her artistry and passion is her driving force. It allows her to look forward to growing and learning with her team in our amazing, ever-changing industry and sharing that knowledge to make every guest feel confident and beautiful!

Angel Jones - Business manager

Angel wants to live in a world where 40 is the new 20, pale is the new tan and you get paid to watch movies.  From DHEC to economic development, property management to human resources, she finally found her professional home here at the SALON of Florence.  With more than 28 years of supervisory, administrative and customer service work under her belt, she’s been managing the SALON since 2008. Before the SALON she hadn’t owned a can of hairspray since the 90’s and was new to makeup and hair products in general.  Now she loves all things hair and fashion!
Professionally, it is her ultimate goal to establish and foster a work environment that is harmonious, where everyone is treated fairly and encouraged to become their best self.

When she’s not crunching numbers or catching up with clients you can find her at a concert (because live music is life), tending to her furbutt babies or in a cozy spot with her nose in a book.





Bekah Brown - Operations Manager & Stylist

Bekah began her journey in the hair world behind the chair but quickly discovered that her joy is actually being the salon’s first point of contact. Bekah is motivated by working to give clients the best possible service as well as guiding her salon team. Her professionalism shines through in every situation and her attention to detail makes your experience seamless. Her match making skills ensure not only convenience with time but, more importantly, stylist compatibility.

Bekah and her husband are anglers and love being out on the water. She’s also into fine woodworking which is a great creative outlet where she makes furniture for her home. She looks forward to expanding her family in the future but for now, enjoys snuggles with her two yorkies, Piper & Nahla.

Summer Gibbs - Stylist

From a small town called Pamplico, Summer grew up looking for creative outlets through painting, music, digital art, 3D modeling and of course, hair. She loves doing different things with hair, but her favorites are vivids and anything unique such as mullets or avant garde styles, anything with a fun, artistic flair. Belive it or not, hair was not what she thought she would be doing as a career, but it really caught her by surprise! When she was younger, she remembers not so great experiences at the salon and leaving with hair that was not what she asked for. She felt that it wasn’t because the stylists were bad or poorly taught, but that it was because there was a lack of communication at some point. Her goal as a stylist is to prevent that from happening in her chair. "I’ve been there and I want to create a great experience for each one of my guests!" So, if you're up for something fun, creative or adventurous with your cut, style and color, she hopes to see you in her chair soon!

Kaylee Herlong - Stylist

Kaylee has always had an interest in the hair industry. From a young age, she would always watch videos to learn how to keep up with the trendiest hair styles. Now she is behind the chair with a goal to make her clients feel like their best self. If she isn’t at the salon making magic, she is either jamming out in the car, at a baseball field, or spending time with friends and family. She is so excited to continue to learn and grow in her hair journey!
