Hi, I'm Kristy Reed and I'm a California native and have lived in RSM since the town was first developed in the late 80's. I had my hair done for my school dances in this salon growing up. Then I worked here, then I bought it and made it my own. What a dream come true for me. Building a salon and a brand has been a labor of love. I tore down walls and rebuilt this tired space into one of Orange Counties largest full service salons.
I've watched careers thrive and stylists grow beyond imagination. It was always the plan to give them a safe space to create and call their second home. Our clients are like family and some are from when I worked here! True loyalty and community. I live in San Clemente with my husband, we are empty nesters with two small pups, Gidget and Byrdie. We're obsessed…
