Hollie
Hi, I’m Hollie, owner and stylist at Salon Thairapy!

I’ve been behind the chair for 14 years, specializing in haircuts and color and creating looks that help my clients feel confident and beautiful. One part of my career that is especially close to my heart is working with children with disabilities, providing them with a patient, comfortable, and welcoming salon experience.

In addition to being a hairstylist, I’m a Certified Clinical Trichologist through both USTI and AMCA, allowing me to combine my love for hair with a deeper understanding of scalp health, hair loss, and hair restoration.

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family or enjoying the outdoors. I’m a wife to an amazing man—we’ve been married for 11 years—a proud mom to a beautiful young woman, and a very proud Mimi to three amazing grandkids. And, of course, our pets are truly our pride and joy and a huge part of our family.

For me, this career has always been about more than hair. It’s about taking care of people, building relationships, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. 🤍
Hi, I’m Lexie! I’ve been in the beauty industry for six years, and I truly love what I do! After graduating from SLCC with my cosmetology license, it didn’t take me long to realize that my heart belonged less behind the chair and more in the world of nails and waxing—and I haven’t looked back!

I specialize in natural nail manicures and pedicures, along with full-body waxing, and I love creating a comfortable, relaxed space where my clients can unwind, feel taken care of, and leave feeling their absolute best. Whether you’re coming in for a little self-care or your regular maintenance appointment, my goal is to make your time with me something you look forward to.

When I’m not at Salon Thairapy, you can usually find me spending time with my fiancé and our little zoo of four-legged and reptilian children—two dogs, a cat, and a tortoise! 🐶🐱🐢

I love getting to know my clients and making them feel right at home, and I hope to see you in my room soon! 🤍

Demi
Hey, it’s me — Demi Rae Thibodeaux! 🤍

I’m a licensed Cosmetologist and Barber with over six years of experience behind the chair. I began my cosmetology journey right after high school and graduated from CTC (Cosmetology Training Center) in 2020. After graduation, I completed a one-year apprenticeship to further my education and training in barbering—and that’s where I discovered just how much I love the artistry of a great men’s cut.

When it comes to color, I specialize in blonding, brunettes, and balayage, with a passion for creating customized looks that complement each client’s individual style. But if you ask me what I really love doing behind the chair? Give me a good men’s cut or fade! From clean bald fades to detailed, customized styles, there’s something about creating the perfect cut that feels like art to me. It’s a skill that came naturally, turned into a passion, and has become one of my favorite parts of what I do.

As for me, I’m faithful, goofy, outgoing, and definitely a people person! I love getting to know the person sitting in my chair, having a good laugh, and creating an environment where my clients can relax, be themselves, and leave feeling confident.

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of the Salon Thairapy family and to work alongside a team of people I truly love. Having a place where I can continue learning, growing, and doing what I’m passionate about every day is something I’ll never take for granted.

So whether you’re ready for a gorgeous blonde, dimensional brunette, lived-in balayage, fresh cut, or the perfect fade, come hang out with me. I can’t wait to have you in my chair!

I’ve been behind the chair for 25 years, and I can honestly say I still love what I do just as much as ever! For me, being a stylist has always been about more than creating beautiful hair—it’s about helping people feel confident, cared for, and completely themselves.

I love getting creative, trying new things, and working with each client to create a look that fits their personality, lifestyle, and makes them feel amazing when they leave my chair. But one of my favorite parts of this career is the genuine relationships I’ve built along the way. There’s something pretty special about getting to be a part of so many seasons of my clients’ lives.

After 25 years, one thing I know for sure is that hair is never just hair. Sometimes it’s a confidence boost, sometimes it’s a fresh start, and sometimes it’s exactly the little bit of tHairapy you needed. 🤍
Ayla
With 31 years behind the chair, I still have the same passion for this industry  that I did when I first began. After graduating from The Potomac Academy of Hair Design in 1995, I built a career centered around precision, creativity, and creating an experience where every client feels truly cared for.

My journey has also included 24 years as a salon owner, giving me an even deeper appreciation for the relationships, trust, and community that are built inside the salon. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of growing alongside my clients, continuing my craft, and bringing decades of experience and Master Stylist expertise to every person who sits in my chair.

I’m excited to begin this next chapter at Salon Thairapy, working alongside an incredible team while continuing to welcome the longtime clients who have supported me throughout my career—and hopefully meeting plenty of new faces along the way.

After 31 years, I still believe there’s nothing quite like the confidence that comes from great hair and a stylist who truly listens. I can’t wait to have you in my chair! 🤍
Kat
Hi, I’m Katherine “Kat” Miller, and I’ve been doing hair for an incredible 37 years! After graduating from the Opelousas School of Cosmetology, I began a career that has given me so much more than I ever could have imagined.

I especially love creating beautiful color and bouncy blowouts, but my favorite part of being behind the chair will always be seeing my clients leave feeling happy, beautiful, and confident. There’s just something special about watching someone light up when they see their finished look!

After nearly four decades in this industry, I’ve learned that the relationships we build behind the chair are just as important as the hair we create. So many of my clients have become dear friends and truly feel like family, and that is one of the greatest gifts of my career.

I’ve been part of the Salon Thairapy family for almost three years, and I absolutely love the atmosphere, the people, and the sense of family we have here. Salon Thairapy really is one big family, and to me, that’s what makes it such a special place to work—and an even better place to welcome my clients. 🤍
