That's as flashy as we get around here.
​
We've been laid-back, relaxin', all cool in downtown Greenville, SC since 2001. Some salons can be intimidating. We ain't about that life. We're not hoity-toity. Our business model is basically anti-snobbery. We prefer good vibes, a better aesthetic, and an industrial-chic space located in the heart of what's happenin' with the pulse of city culture.
SALON
of once strangers picked to live-it-up at work in an industrial-chic salon with a city-culture vibe. This is the story of The Real World: TDF. (But nobody is going to stop acting polite and start acting real around here. We do both at the same time very well, thank you.)
Remember when timeout was a punishment? Yes, we're much better at embracing moments of quietude these days (thanks to all those mindfulness podcasts) -- however we know waiting on your foils to process can sometimes feel like an involuntary TO... Sorry we're not sorry. You best go sit in something luxurious while you think about what you've done, young lady. And you'd better look at eye candy while you're at it, if you know what's good for you. That's an order.
let your hair down, turn up, make waves. We understand wholeheartedly. Let us offer our encouragement. We make fantastic wing women for these inevitable life events.

PRODUCTS
'You are what you eat,' they say, which is kinda the basis of TDF's philosophy for not putting mysterious junk on your hair & skin (unless you're cool with being a Science Fair project).
We only use and sell honest stuff with the yummiest, gimmick-free ingredients we can find. Like our environmentally conscious line evo (curated from the Land Down Under for your local retail pleasure). It's all sulphate, paraben, dea, tea and propylene glycol free, with zero non-active ingredients. Check out our stylists' faves, and call us to order. (Our online shop is coming soon!)
SQUAD
Stylist #squadgoals (stylin', profilin', talent for days). Go ahead and lightly internet stalk our formally commissioned biographies for a few since you're here (elite literature we have here)! Just be pretty quick about it so you can come hang with us IRL at the salon.
"I'm the owner of this joint!" "My mantra is, 'The only constant is change.'" "Equality for women – it's my soapbox." "Music + traveling make me my happiest self!" "I believe in ghosts because we had one in our house growing up. We named him Andy..." "Something super unpopular that I like? Definitely tube socks."
"What limb am I most attached to? My neck. It keeps my dreaming head grounded to my body (a neck's a limb, right?)..." "Music, music, music – it's what establishes a creative environment for me." "If I could name a nail polish color, it'd be 'All Hail the Queen!'" "Making others look + feel great about themselves makes ME happy." "How do I express my true self? I remember that 'honesty is the best policy.'"
"Hiking always feels good. Going outside + exploring makes me feel like a kid again. It's how I connect to my authentic 'ME.'" "I'm 1/2 Korean. I'd love to go explore Korea one day." "If I had to choose living in space or under the ocean, I'd take the ocean! Thinking about space or infinity freaks me out...!" "My dream car is a Chevy Spark, 'cause they’re so cute." "What makes me happy? Definitely my pup, Cookie."
"A stranger's 1st impression of my fam would probably feel like a modern-day 'Meet the Flintstones' ('yaba, daba doo')!" "It’s probably corny, but if I got a tat this minute, it'd be 3 small hearts on my wrist for my fam. " "Being caught up with chores + being outside both make me super happy." "I'd rather live in space than under the ocean, of course – IF I had to choose." "How I express my true self? I've got some pretty good facial expressions..."
"My most frequent thought is, 'Is it too early to eat my lunch?!'" "When it comes to if the glass is 1/2 empty or 1/2 full, it depends on how fast you chug it." "In my past life, I was a grasshopper..." "It's weird, but I love burnt popcorn." "A bumper sticker for my life would be, 'Honk if you love Jesus!'"
"I'm a glass 1/2 full kinda girl." "My spirit animal is an elephant (my fave). The kindest + most gentle creatures in the world, provided you're kind + gentle to them. They're loyal, protective, patient, bring good luck, have strong bonds with each other – they're leaders." "
If I got a tattoo right this minute, I'd get a cross on my wrist." "I never match my socks. I don't think that's a weird thing, either..." "What makes me happiest? Spending time with my fam!"
