It all started 17 years ago…
Hi my name is Lanna— I’m a hair stylist with over 17 years of experience and the proud owner of Olivia Presley Hair Co. and Monroe Hair Studio.

Olivia Presley Hair Co. is named after my two daughters. These girls are what motivate my husband Jason and I every day and they are the reason I want to continue to work hard, and strive for success. As many of you can probably understand, being a mom, wife and business owner has its own challenges. I want to show my daughters that you can follow your passions—all of them. So this studio is a tribute to them and an example that hard work pays off!

I grew up in a small Texas town called Trenton, population 662. I received my cosmetology license when I was 19 and moved to San Marcos in 2003 to join my childhood friends who had just enrolled at Texas State. In my mind, I had moved to the big city. I can remember thinking to myself, ‘I will never learn my way around this town’. I landed my first job at Beauty Express at the outlet mall. It’s crazy to say I still have a handful of clients who I met there and who have stuck with me all the way to Olivia Presley Hair Co. After continuing to grow my client base and gain experience at two other salons it was time for me to take the plunge and open my own solon. So in 2009 at the age 25 I became the proud owner of Monroe Hair Studio. I have learned so much through the years. I have grown as a stylist and as a leader at the salon. The idea for Olivia Presley Hair Co. first began during the “dumpster fire” year that was 2020. Even though… scary times… leap of faith.

I knew that the beauty industry was a good fit for me right out of high school. As a business owner I am able to feel confident about this and have security knowing this is a service that will always need to be provided.

What I love about doing business with a company is feeling like I matter. This is something that is important to me. To feel wanted in an environment and know they truly care you are there. A place where everybody knows your name. That’s what we are all about at Olivia Presley Hair Co.

One of the best parts about my job is the long term relationships. I get to build lasting friendships and have instant gratification because all of our clients walk away with a fresh new look. What else can I say other than we have a blast! This type of career opportunity is part of what inspires me to continue growing our studio so that I can bring this same sense to my team of stylists.My secret to success is remembering that every person matters and is unique. From the story they want to tell you while in your chair to their signature hair color and cut that represents them. Truth be told you never know who’s going to be your walking billboard! I would have never guessed mine in the beginning. I love getting to hear about our client’s day-to-day lives and exciting milestones. There’s always lots of laughs in the salon. I should have started a quote book years ago.

Here at Olivia Presley Hair Co. we are all about bringing a unique and personalized hair experience to each and every client. I can’t wait to share the salon with you!

Hair Tip

no. 1 Use a wet detangling brush when your hair is wet, the hair is most fragile when wet.

no. 2 Trim your hair regularly. I know its hard to wrap your head around it if you want it to grow. But it’s important to the process otherwise it will continue to break upwards.
