Our Story

I’d like to personally welcome you to The James Alan Salon & Spa. We are a full-service salon and spa that offers a variety of hair, skin, and body services. While this is not unique, it is our dedicated and professional staff that sets us apart.  

 

I personally began my career as a Cosmetologist 15 years ago and have retained the best clientele anyone could ever ask for. The past eleven years of my career have been spent here at the formerly known Head to Toe Essentials Salon. In January 2022 we transformed the salon into The James Alan Salon and Spa - a blessed dream come true. 

 

I look forward to many more years of making people feel and look beautiful. 

 

Peace,

James Alan
