Our Stylists

Fran Wood

Operations Manager & Senior Stylist

Originally from Batesburg-Leesville, Fran has fond memories of growing up in a hair salon.  From a young age, she loved being in the salon environment and knew she wanted to be a hair stylist when she grew up. 

She graduated from Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology and still laughs about her last day. As she was shampooing a client, someone called the woman who she sat up abruptly.  Fran pulled the sprayer back to avoid soaking the client but proceeded to spray herself in the face.
