Welcome! I'm Marissa, and I'm so glad you're here.
Growing up in New York, I was immersed in the world of hair, beauty, and fashion from an early age. My mother was a successful salon owner and platform artist with Paul Mitchell, so I spent countless hours in her salon watching creativity come to life. Those experiences sparked my passion for hairstyling and inspired me to pursue a career where I could help others feel confident through beautiful, healthy hair.
In 2015, I made the decision to relocate to Lexington, South Carolina, and start over in a brand-new community. Building my career from the ground up wasn't always easy, but it taught me the value of hard work, perseverance, and creating genuine relationships with every client who trusts me with their hair.
Today, I'm proud to call Steel Magnolia home. My goal is to provide every guest with a luxury salon experience that feels warm, welcoming, and completely personalized. I believe luxury isn't about being overly formal—it's about exceptional service, beautiful results, and making you feel comfortable from the moment you sit in my chair.
I specialize in custom blonding, dimensional color, Bellami hand-tied extensions, tape-in extensions, curly hair services, precision haircuts, and healthy hair transformations. Every appointment is tailored to your individual goals, lifestyle, hair type, and budget because I believe your hair should work for your life—not the other way around.
Whether you're looking for a subtle refresh, a complete transformation, or a stylist you can trust for years to come, I'm committed to helping you achieve healthy, beautiful hair while making your experience enjoyable from start to finish.
If you're looking for a hairstylist in Lexington, SC who truly listens, values continued education, and is passionate about delivering exceptional results, I'd love the opportunity to welcome you into my chair at Lake & Lantern Hair co.
