Hey! I’m Allison, and I’m a stylist, educator, and artist working in Clayton, MO. I’m passionate about creating cohesive works of art that emphasize the best and most stunning aspects of each of my clients, while also tailoring services to meet their lifestyle needs.
I took a roundabout journey to the hair industry, attending art school as an undergrad. The collegiate life didn’t temper my desire to pursue hair and people as my creative medium, so after college I attended beauty school in Chicago.
My post beauty school apprenticeship took place at a bustling Chicago area salon, where I had the opportunity to learn from a Rusk creative team member. Following my apprenticeship I began working both behind the chair, and as a Rusk design team member, traveling around the country and showcasing trends at industry shows and training other hairstylists. Doing this I obtained an education in the industry, the technicalities of cutting, and the chemistry of hair color that cannot be bought.
I worked as an educator for around ten years, before deciding it was time to turn my focus and attention fully to my business and clients in Clayton. I still attend technique classes so that I can continue to educate my clients on trends and current styles, and stay relevant in a constantly morphing industry.
Lately I’ve been enjoying the hand painted looks and lived in hair that has come to the forefront of style. I specialize in balayage techniques and creative painting and foiling to create both high-contrast instagram looks and soft blending for lived in color so natural no one would know you paid for it.
I also offer a range of luxury extension options to help you achieve the hair you’ve always wanted, including hand and machine sewn wefts, tape-ins, and keratin fusion (k-tips).
I can’t wait to meet you. Let’s create something beautiful together.
To book with Allison, please contact her via phone or text to set up a consultation!

I have been a client of Allison's for about a year now, and she always does a great job and is fun to be around. Allison also did my bridal hair (without even doing a trial run) and it turned out amazing! She used inspiration from several pinterest ideas that I had found, but combined them into a look that fit me and the hair barrette I wanted to use. I highly recommend her work!
I cannot because to rave about Allison enough. I started seeing Allison 2 years ago when I had a pixie that was in desperate need of some help (great attempt for a stylist who wasn't big into short haircuts). Allison was able to salvage my semi mullet into a bangin' pixie that has made me a short hair girl for life (or for awhile knowing me). What I love most about her is she's going to tell you like it is. Allison is great at giving people what they want in a cut and color, but you have to be willing to hear that you can't necessarily have what you want due to your own hair thickness and texture. Trust me, she's talked me back into a more reasonable cut shape and color change from the spiky platinum pixie I coveted a la Pink. I love her to pieces and have followed her from her previous salon to her own place here at Salon Lofts and I couldnt be happier for her. She's a rockstar and you need her in your life!!!
Allison is an AMAZING hair stylist. She's very talented both with cut and color. She is an educator for RUSK, too, so she will teach you as she goes if you want to have an idea of what she's doing. She is also just the right amount of chatty/friendly - a must with any stylist. I followed her from her previous salon and recommend her to anyone who wants a stellar hair experience. You'll walk out feeling like a million bucks!
I love, love what Allison has been able to do with my hair and my daughter's hair. We put so much trust in her talents and her ability to listen to what the customer wants, envision the final product (styled hair), and develop and execute the plan that we continue to bring friends and family for the treatment. : )
Thinking of a new hairstylist ? I made the big switch ! You can too. A big step for me since I've loved my current stylist and have been loyal to her for 20+ years. Allison applied gorgeous copper/red highlights and gave me a great textured cut last Friday. (Yes I'm a natural Ginger) Love, Love, Love the shine, color, silkiness, and cut of my hair -thanks to Allison and Rusk products. I'm sold !!!
Great job on color and cut, great price, nice woman!
So happy and thankful to have Alison as my hairdresser. She is an artist.
I wasn't happy with a previous stylist so I wanted to try someone different. I made an appointment with Allison based on her profile. Today was my first appointment with her and I am so pleased with the results! My hair hasn't looked this good in five years (after I had to leave my long-time stylist because I moved). If you're looking for someone who will listen to you and give you sound, professional hair care advice, try Allison. She's very nice and her pricing is completely reasonable. I look forward to going back for my next appointment.
I've looked for almost 2 years to find someone who understands texturing. She's the one!!
