Twisted River Hair Studio wants only the best for your hair.
Kelly
Owner / Stylist
After years in the financial industry, I took a leap of faith to follow my true passion-cosmetology. Eighteen years later, I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to help others feel confident and beautiful. Color is where my creativity truly shines, and I love creating customized looks that enhance each guest’s natural beauty.
In 2015, my husband and I opened Twisted River Hair Studio with a vision of building more than just a salon-but a welcoming, uplifting space for both our stylists and clients. Leading our team and watching them grow is one of the greatest joys of my career.
Outside of the salon, I’m blessed with two grown sons and two grandkids. I enjoy spending time with my family, working out, and walking my dog, Bella.
Amanda
Stylist
I’ve had the pleasure of serving my clients in the Riverwood area for twenty years now. I throughly enjoy listening to my clients and hearing their hair needs and desires and achieving realistic hairstyles that they can re-create at home! I live in Clayton where both my husband and I grew up and we now raise our two teen girls! Doing hair is much more to me than a job, I treasure the relationships I form with my clients and feel it’s more of a calling than a career. I’m so grateful to have the opprunity to work along side wonderful talented stylist that is like a family and for so many amazing clients that I hold near and dear.
Stephanie
Stylist
Growing up I enjoyed playing around my grandmother’s hair salon, not knowing that one day I would make it my own career. I studied Cosmetology at JCC and became a hair stylist in 2003. This has been so rewarding in so many ways. I love getting to know the community and helping clients achieve their best look! I am from Clayton. When I am not at work, I am enjoying time with my husband and our two children.
Lauri

I am originally from Texas but have been in North Carolina for 15 years. I have been a hairstylist for over 30 years and enjoy colors and cuts and visiting with my clients. I have a wonderful husband, three daughters, and four grandchildren. In my spare time we love family time at the pool and cookouts. My family and my little puppy are my whole life!
Kyla
Stylist
I’m born and raised in North Carolina! Family and friends are so important to me! My birthday is in June so I’m a summer baby all the way! In my free time you can find me anywhere outside enjoying the fresh air or by the water. My favorite part about doing hair is making someone feel beautiful and confident about how they look. I enjoy doing colors, most especially balayage and fashion colors.
Jessica

I recently moved to NC. I have been in the hair industry for 14 years. I love all things hair, especially balayage, foiling, and fashion colors. I enjoy taking classes on all the up to date trends on cuts and color techniques. When I am not working, I am spending time with my husband and 3 sons.
Jessie
Stylist/Curl Specialist
I was born and raised in North Carolina, growing up in Willow Springs and settling in Clayton in 2018. I graduated from Mitchell’s Academy in 2013 and have loved every part of my career, especially working as a color specialist behind the chair. I specialize in curly cuts, curl maintenance, and dimensional color, and I’m passionate about helping my guests embrace their natural beauty with customized, confidence-boosting results. I’m committed to ongoing education so I can always bring the latest techniques and trends to my chair. When I’m not at the salon, I love traveling and spending time with my two daughters.
