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 17 years, her love for teaching and mentoring has led her to create a cohesive team of talented, dedicated, and b stylists that share common goals and vision for specializing in hair color and extension services.

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.

Operations Manager & Stylist
Bekah has been in the beauty industry since 2015, beginning her career as an associate before moving into operations management and ultimately finding her passion as an artist specializing in extensions. For her, hair is both a creative outlet and a therapeutic practice, and she places high value on communication with her guests. While she loves conversation during appointments, Bekah also offers silent sessions to create a space for clients to fully relax and unwind while achieving their dream hair.
When she’s not in the salon, Bekah enjoys life on the water, fishing tournaments with her husband. At home, she’s surrounded by her many beloved pets, including two yorkies, a mini golden doodle, saltwater and freshwater fish, and even a snake.
