Jeremy Leifheit

Coming from Atlanta with over 27 years of salon experience, Jeremy brings an array of technical influences and creativity to the chair. His roots in the hair industry began with strong fundamentals taught by some of the original Vidal Sassoon team members. Jeremy’s education spans several different techniques of color, cut, and up hair designs, which he blends together to create his own unique style that he enjoys sharing with others. He spent ten years as an educator for L’Oreal Professional and is bringing those experiences, travel, influences, and training back to where he feels at home. Designing a shape and color that suits your look and lifestyle is always a priority. Outside the salon, Jeremy enjoys spending time with his family outdoors and can be found on the local mountain bike trails.

Christie continues to further her education behind the chair to keep up with the latest trends in the art of hair. When she’s not working you can be sure she’s fishing her favorite honey hole or enjoying a BBQ and bonfire with friends.

Cheryl Chamberlain

Cheryl moved to this area from South Florida 16 years ago. She has been licensed and actively in the hair industry for 33 years. In those 33 years, she has attended dozens of hair shows and educational classes to always stay highly skilled and ready for current trends. Her preferred and most attended hair show is the Beauty Premier Show in Orlando which she has attended most years. With this extensive knowledge, she will help you understand which hair color and color-placement will look best with your eyes and complexion throughout the seasons and which haircut styles will most flatter you. She knows it is all about you as an individual.
Cheryl has spent many hours studying Nick Arrojo’s razor cutting talents at hair shows and classes and has continued to hone those skills to the highest level. Many of her clients searched long and hard for a razor cutting specialist before finding her. She is especially proud of this skill because it lends limitless capabilities to her world of creativity! So, whether your style requires razoring, slicing, tipping, or no texturing at all for a more precision cut, she is excited to work with you to give you your best look! When Cheryl is not working, she enjoys her home in Mills River with her husband and her frisbee-loving, ball-obsessed border collie. Cheryl is also the proud mother of two grown sons!
