Tia is a seasoned salon receptionist/manager and singing talent. Moving from a full service salon in Sacramento, where she helped the owner build the shop from the ground up, to Los Angeles, we are excited to develop our business with an experienced point-of-view and more than happy to welcome her talents.


Isadora has been a stylist in Los Angeles since 2004. While living in LA she has worked freelance in fashion, film, and television for names like Alanis Morissette, Ipod interactive media, and Miguel Torres. After working in a local Davines Silver Lake salon for some time, she was drawn to the aesthetic of The Hive where we expect great things and look forward to growing with her creativity.


As well, Liz Kent will be taking time away to visit family in Massachusetts and is expected to come back to The Hive when in town. (June to be her next visit.)
