With our incredible expansion, I’ve been lucky to bring in some truly amazing talent! First up is our Head of Operations and Frontend Manager—Chris. But y’all might know her better as “Mom.” Chris isn’t just my mom; she’s the heart of our team and the mom to everyone who walks through our doors. She has a way of making everyone feel at home, connecting with people in such a warm and genuine way. Chris practically runs our daily operations, from managing her very own Tanning Salon—Luxie Tanning—to handling ordering, receiving, and processing all of our new merchandise. On top of all that, she’s also our front-house manager, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Truly, nothing happens in my business without Chris helping organize and plan it!

Another key part of our success is Seaann. Not only is she our Lead Consultant at Luxie Boutique, but she’s also a Master Makeup Artist specializing in Airbrush Bridal Makeup, Lash Extensions, and Lash Lift and Tints. Her incredible attention to detail makes her an invaluable asset—whether she’s helping customers at Luxie Boutique or working her magic at Luxe&Lavish Salon. On top of that, she has a talent for photography, especially when working with our models. With her degree from UWEC, Seaann manages our website, organizes all of our photo shoots, and styles our models to perfection.

These two incredible women are a huge part of why we’ve been able to grow and thrive. I couldn’t do this without them, and I’m so grateful to have them by my side. Cheers to many more years of Luxe&Lavish Salon and Luxie Boutique!

I What began as a dream and a single salon chair has grown into two thriving businesses built on passion, creativity, and heart. I opened Luxe&Lavish Salon in 2017, shortly after graduating from cosmetology school, with a vision to create more than just a place for beauty services — I wanted to build a space where women could feel seen, confident, and cared for.

From those early days working out of my home to expanding into our location at 131 West Lincoln Street in Augusta, the journey has been one of faith, growth, and community. Luxe&Lavish has become a full-service salon offering expert hair, makeup, facials, lashes, and bridal beauty — but more than that, it’s become a second home for so many incredible clients and stylists who share the same belief: that beauty is about confidence, connection, and self-love.

In 2020, during one of the most uncertain times for small businesses, I felt called to take another leap of faith — and Luxie Boutique was born. What started as a small extension of the salon quickly turned into something extraordinary. Luxie grew faster than I could have ever imagined, becoming a space for women of all shapes and sizes to find styles that make them feel beautiful, confident, and uniquely themselves. Today, both Luxe&Lavish and Luxie Boutique stand side-by-side, representing the power of resilience, hard work, and community.

Outside of business, I’m a wife and mom — roles that remind me daily why I do what I do. My husband, Brandon, and our three children, Bentlee, Austyn Kennedy, and Graysyn “Gigi,” are my greatest inspiration. They’ve been part of this dream from the very beginning, helping me remember that success isn’t just about what we build, but about who we become and how we lift others along the way.

Every part of Luxe&Lavish Salon and Luxie Boutique is a reflection of that belief — that when women support each other, magic happens.
