Abby Sykes

Salon Owner & Stylist

Abby has been a Hairstylist for 20 years and counting. She has spent these years working hard behind the chair and also in many educational classes. Abby has been a Certified Master Colorist through Goldwell for 15+ years and continues to build her knowledge whenever possible. She enjoys all aspects of this industry, in that each day brings new customers with endless options for creativity. Her goal behind the chair is to do her best and to use her creativity to the fullest to make others feel great about themselves.

Some of her specialties are: Hair cutting of all lengths and textures (also Deva Curl certified), Color, ranging from a simple touch up, to a whole head foil highlight or the soft touch of a painted balayage. The options are endless when it comes to color!

When I am not behind the chair you will find me with my family. We love to be outdoors, on the lake, working in the garden or hiking with our dog. In my spare time (if there are any) I enjoy being in our garden, getting involved in a good house project, or just sitting on the couch with a bucket of popcorn!”
