Meet the Mane Babes
Moss and Mane is not just a place to get the hair of your dreams, but a second home with good vibes and good people.
Our founders, Taylor Niele and Ashton, each bring a set of unique skills and expertise to the business that will help them grow a tremendously successful brand. Both have extensive experience in education and training, business building, performing high-end services, and influence. Taylor and Ashton crossed paths in 2013 working in an elite salon. They quickly grew a friendship bonding over traveling (they have been to 3 different countries together!), expanding their knowledge, a deep love for iced coffee, charcuterie and all things wine. Suddenly realizing that their dreams and visions aligned, they wanted to combine forces to create a salon home together that elevates their artists and guests.
