Abby Sykes
Salon Owner & Stylist
Abby has been a Hairstylist for 16 years. 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 12+ 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 challenging corrective color fix. In between these she loves a whole head foil highlight or the soft touch of a painted balayage. The options are endless when it comes to color! Another specialty she enjoys is styling hair for weddings and special occasions. “I love the out-of-salon experiences this typically brings, and the joy of coming together with others to help create some of life’s most important memories.
When I am not behind the chair you will find me with my family. My two little girls are who I really do all this for! We love to be outdoors, hiking the local parks and gorges and having picnics at the lake, enjoying all there is around us. In my spare time (if there is 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!”
