   Karen Parsons
Owner and Creative Director

You could say I was born to own a beauty salon. In fact, that's where my parents first met. My mother Karen Parsons, my namesake, was a shampoo girl for her sister Elaine in the early 1960's at Erna and Yvette¹s Coiffures in Lakewood, Ohio. My mother didn't know it at the time, but Yvette was her future mother-in-law. She was set up on a blind date with my father while working at the salon. The rest is history!

When I was little, my grandmother, mother and Auntie Elaine taught me almost everything I know about beauty. The rest I've learned on my own. Over the years, I've traveled the globe to continue my education and compete in numerous hair and make up competitions. I enjoy what I do and love making people feel and look their best.

That's why I've decided to follow in the footsteps of my mother and open my own salon. It's an adventure that I would like you to share with me. Please call, stop by or just hang out at The Hair and Face Lounge. Check out some original 60's Salon memorabilia as well as everything you need for today’s hair and face needs from . I promise you, you will not be disappointed.




   Maryam
Master Stylist

As an after school job, I worked as a receptionist at a salon in Cary, NC and went straight to cosmetology school as soon as I could. Once I became qualified, I was privileged to assist under hair guru, Karen Parsons, and further refined my foundation of great hair cuts and color. When Karen decided to open up The Hair and Face Lounge, I became her "right hand woman.� During this, I fell in love with AVEDA. I developed a passion and expertise in hair color and I scored a job as an AVEDA Hair Color Educator after recognizing my talent. I have been able to assist for AVEDA�s global educators, which has been a fun extension of being a hairstylist. The Lounge is my place to express my passion for beauty and fashion, and you will feel that when you are a guest in my chair. Schedule an appointment with me for a chance to experience a personalized service within an enthusiastic salon environment. Remember, it's a beautiful day at The Hair and Face Lounge!

   Ashley Blum - Stylist

On a network not yet developed in 1975, Ashley Blum was the star of a once, soon to be popular sitcom; The Braid E. Bunch. She then became the star operator of a trendy salon in Cary, NC. After mastering many modern magic tricks, like call waiting and e-mail, this sexy Capricorn is hip to hair as well. She is a graduate of the Aveda Institute in Chapel Hill and is an amazing stylist, and a wonderful addition to our family behind the chair!





   Nicole
Guest Coordinator

After wearing many hats in corporate America over the past twelve years, I decided that it was about time for a little change and joined the family at The Lounge. I was brought on to do a few things here and there - answer the phone, make some coffee, remember to turn the lights off at night. You know - the essentials. Now, I�ve become the �salon mom� of sorts and I love every single moment of it. Whether you�ve got a question about the availability of your favorite stylist, or you can�t remember which AVEDA product you�ve purchased before, I�m happy to help you out. I'm educated on both the AVEDA haircare and skincare lines, so if you have any questions about AVEDA products - please ask me! I have also been so deeply inspired and creatively supported by The Lounge family, that I am attending cosmetology school so I can stand beside these fantastic ladies as a stylist, too. It is not everyday that someone can say they LOVE their job, or that they BELIEVE in the people they work with. I am honored to be able to say both.
