Howdy, I'm
Alaina Lively
Stylist | Curl Lover
As a Rockbridge County resident, I couldn’t be happier to make the commute to where I’ve found my salon home in Staunton. As a curly girl myself, to be in a place where I can help guide those who haven’t found peace with their beautiful curls, oh, I am beyond thrilled.
While I have a deep passion for cutting and styling my heart truly lies in color transformations and color maintenance. I am here to help curate a style and color that not only compliment you but also your lifestyle.
I love dimensional, blended or lived in looks that can offer a softer grow out.
With the busy and fast paced world of today I want my chair to be a place where you come to slow down, enjoy some well deserved “me time” and leave feeling as confident as ever.
I found my passion in beauty as a child. Ask any of my girlfriends that were at my slumber parties and they’ll tell you, I was the queen of makeovers! I didn’t even think twice about getting all my friends dolled up just to feel gorgeous and prance around the house in my mom’s high heels. They all told me when I started this career “This is what you were made to do” and I love that they still remember how I made them feel like they were on top of the world. And achieving that feeling for you is my ultimate goal.
When I’m not at the salon I keep myself super busy. You’ll hardly ever see me sitting still, between spending time with family, being a musician, baking and exploring the outdoors, I can not sit still. In the summer time you can almost always catch me out on the river or on top of a mountain taking pictures of the sunset.
I can't wait to meet you and help you to feel on top of the world!

Kind Words
The moment I entered the salon I knew I was in the right place. First of all, the salon itself is beautifully appointed; modern, clean lines, with a cozy, jewel-tone vibe, and big windows letting in lots of light. The stylists at Elena are friendly, kind, attentive, and obviously expert. Alaina, my stylist, is engaging, funny, expert, and does the most incredible hair washing experience. I could have fallen asleep. I absolutely will be back! Thank you Alaina!

I saw Alaina at Elena the Salon Experience and it was the most gorgeous place ever! Very friendly staff, very relaxing experience. Alaina has been doing my hair for just a few months now and I absolutely love going back to see her! Very sweet girl who makes you feel so comfortable and will slay your hair all day! My hair truly has never been in such good condition before since seeing her. Alaina has my hair on lock for the rest of my life!
