Hair Salons in West Columbia

Mackenzie Conyers is a licensed cosmetologist with a talent for coloring hair with products by Matrix, Redken, and Alfaparf. Though this is her specialty, it's just a small part of what she can do. Among other services, Conyers can revitalize complexions with relaxing facials or restore smoothness to beloved pet rocks during private waxing sessions. Clients may also benefit from salon owner Teresa Lamotte's 20 years of experience during a professional spray tan, ear piercing, or expert mani-pedi with polishes by OPI and essie.

At Salon Confessions, longtime friends and salon co-owners Lori Harmon and Jenna Rikard update hair with fresh looks amid rock-themed decor. Between the space's slate-gray walls—accented with bedazzled black mirrors—the duo and their team of stylists work with Aquage and Moroccanoil products as they snip off split ends, vamp up color with foil highlights, and add fun bounce by perming locks or tying Mexican jumping beans to strands. Once styled, clients can slip beneath a dryer in the back of the salon and admire the space's rock 'n' roll centerpiece—a bright blue wall tattooed with a vibrant purple cross on the left and a pair of wings on the right.

The staff members at Five Points Salon, an Aveda concept salon, employ numerous naturally derived products when crafting dos. When painting on single-process color and highlights, they infuse clients' hair with Aveda Full Spectrum hair color, crafted with sunflower, castor, and jojoba oils. They permanently straighten locks with a formula that contains organic ylang-ylang. They also use a semipermanent smoothing treatment composed primarily of plants and nonpetroleum minerals. Haircuts, special-occasion updos, and 250 brushstrokes round out the menu of services.

Owner Artana, her two sisters, and the trained stylists at Shear Xpectations help to curate chic appearances during beautifying services. Touting expertise in hair, waxing, facials, and massage, the seasoned staff helps anchor results with products from Aveda, Dermalogica, and TIGI. An online portfolio showcases the crew's work with snapshots of its skillful ’dos, which have the power to coax compliments from friends, strangers, and the insides of hats. Each sessions unfolds inside the salon's casual space, which boasts wood floors, track lighting, and dangling glass lights.

Princess and Jedediah Thompson have been matching clients with chic and bold 'dos for more than 10 years. They direct a team of skilled stylists who strive to, in their own words, “raise your image from the ashes.” The snips of shears and the snaps of sparrow beaks send dated manes tumbling to the ground during precise haircuts. New styles are enhanced by rich and lustrous TIGI hair-coloring services and high-quality Redken and Framesi products.

In a vintage brick building constructed in the 1930s, Ara Bella Salon’s staff renovates styles and sets minds at ease with an array of services for hair, nails, and body. Beauticians sculpt new hairstyles for men, women, and children and pair manicures and pedicures with nourishing paraffin treatments. To make a day of it, massage therapists knead weary muscles for up to 90 minutes per session, and skincare experts remove unwanted facial fuzz with precise waxing. To celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays and bridal showers, guests can indulge in packages that include spa pedicures and updos.
