Meet Our Team
At Ivy Salon, each one of our uniquely talented stylists are professionally and personally developed to learn the culture of our salon to complement their own personal creativity to better serve our guests. To become an Ivy Stylist, each licensed cosmetologist will have completed Ivy’s training program along with AVEDA color training. Ivy is fortunate to have Kate McAlister on staff as a certified AVEDA Color Educator. Stylists spend multiple years in each tier and promotions are based on in-salon performance as well as education.
At our core, we value and honor our team as the most important resource for caring for our guests.
