Our Story

Meet the Team

We're two cousins with a shared passion and over 26 years of experience behind the chair. After years of helping clients look and feel their best, we dreamed of something more — a space where creativity could thrive and beauty professionals could grow both personally and professionally.

Sara Smith

CO-FOUNDER

Hi, I'm Sara Smith — co-founder of Wild Oak Salon Suites and a hairstylist with 26 years behind the chair. My career is grounded in creativity, passion, and dedication to my craft. Outside of work, my family is everything: a wonderful, supportive husband, three amazing kids, and one sweet grandson. I love staying active, running, and tending my flowerbeds — my favorite place to create beauty in a different way.

Allysha Kennedy

CO-FOUNDER

Hi, I'm Allysha Kennedy, co-founder of Wild Oak Salon Suites — wife, mom to two grown sons, and proud mother-in-law. I've been a hairstylist for 26 years and love it as much as ever. My passion is color and extensions, and I'm always refining my craft through new training and techniques. When I'm not behind the chair, you'll find me outdoors — camping, riding side-by-sides, or swimming — usually with a creative project or two going at home, and my two Labrador retrievers never far behind.
