Meet the Friends Behind the Chair

Alysha Shorter

Hi, I’m Alysha, owner and stylist at The Hair Loft. I’ve been in the industry for over 18 years and love creating bright, natural color through highlights and teasy lights. I opened The Hair Loft in 2021 because I wanted to build a space where women could relax, laugh, and leave feeling beautiful. I’m known for giving honest advice when it comes to choosing the right cut, color, and style for your face shape and skin tone, always with the goal of helping you look your  best. My favorite part of the salon is how everyone connects, from the stylists to the clients, creating a fun atmosphere. When I’m not behind the chair, I’m usually at brunch or on the lake. I love a good glass of wine, and spending time with my husband and our two boys.

Crystal O'Dell

Hey y’all, I’m Crystal! I’ve been behind the chair for 25 years and still love what I do every single day. I specialize in color — especially bold transformations — and there’s nothing better than helping someone leave feeling fresh and confident. When I’m not at the salon, I’m usually cheering on my three boys at the ball field, singing along to Dolly Parton, or planning our next Disney trip. My chair is a safe space to laugh, vent, and leave looking fabulous.

Jessica Adams

Hi, I’m Jessica! I started in the salon world back in high school and have been behind the chair ever since. I love connecting with my clients, sharing stories, and helping them feel comfortable and beautiful. I specialize in color, foils, and cuts that bring out your natural style. When I’m not at the salon, you’ll find me with my husband and daughter, probably on the lake, camping, or making a Target run. Family means everything to me, and I hope when you visit The Hair Loft, you feel like part of ours too.
