From the Beginning

I’m from the Burnet area and have always called Lake Buchanan home. Right after high school, I followed my passion for the beauty industry and attended cosmetology school in Georgetown, Texas. From a young age, I’ve been drawn to the way beauty can uplift and empower—and there’s nothing more fulfilling than helping women feel confident and comfortable in their own skin.

Hi, I'm Carley!

Favorite Service

Passions

After graduating from cosmetology school, I found Radiant and immediately felt at home. Early on, I had the chance to assist Katie, a talented balayage specialist. Watching her work sparked my love for natural, lived-in color.

That experience shaped the way I do hair today. I now specialize in soft, low-maintenance color that enhances your natural beauty. Over time, I’ve built my own clientele and refined my techniques to create effortlessly blended, dimensional looks that grow out beautifully.

My favorite service to create is a rooted, seamless blend. There’s something so special about the way it enhances your natural beauty while still feeling elevated and intentional. Unlike traditional highlights, this look isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s fully customized to each client. I take the time to study how your hair falls, how the light catches it, and how to place each foil to create soft, organic dimension that flatters your features.

The result is dreamy, low-maintenance color that grows out effortlessly and allows you to feel beautiful far beyond the salon visit.

When I’m not in the salon, you can find me soaking up the sun on any lake, river, or beach. I love traveling and exploring new cultures, spoiling my dogs like they’re my kids, spending time with family, hunting for treasures while thrifting, or working on our home.

My goal is to

My goal is for every client to leave my chair feeling like they’ve found their missing piece. I strive to craft tones that illuminate your natural features; not cover them up; so your hair feels like the best version of you.
