Our Team
Penny Hughes
Owner/Hairstylist
Penny studied under Frances Debose at London Hair in Charleston, South Carolina She has a masters degree from Eufora products and is passionate about teaching clients to love their hair. From thick curly hair to fine thinning hair, she teaches the client certain ways to style their hair. She creates hairstyles that enhance each client's face shape. Every hair color created makes her client's eye color pop. "I believe that everyone has a beautiful face feature that should be enhanced. In most cases, it is my client's eyes. Someone should notice your beautiful eyes and complexion before they notice your hair color. When this happens, I know I have done my job as their hairstylist."
