“WHEN I WAS LITTLE I WOULD BEG MY MOM TO TAKE ME TO WORK WITH HER AT THE SALON. I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH THIS INDUSTRY SINCE KINDERGARTEN.”
Book an Appointment with Ashley

ashley sinclair  |  co-owner

Ashley trained at Aveda Fredericks Institute in Cincinnati and from there landed a stint at Five Seasons Country Club where she assisted Kim Harper. After one year of assisting and another six months working behind the chair, she agreed to sign on with Kim when the latter opened Kim Harper Salon & Spa in Mason. There, Ashley honed her skills at cutting, styling and coloring until, eleven years and many loyal clients later, she opened her own salon, East Main, in June of 2016. “Gail (my mom) and I decided to start our own business,” she says. “We had been looking into it for about 4 years before we decided on our location.” That location, in the heart of downtown Mason, has been bustling ever since.

​WHAT I WAS CALLED TO DO FOR A LIVING
.“
Book an Appointment with Fran

fran johnson  |  stylist

In high school, Fran would cut her own hair. When her mom took her to the salon to get it “fixed,” the hairstylist would say she had a natural talent and should think about cutting hair. She loved the idea of being a hairstylist but didn’t make the decision to go that route until her senior year. She toured the Aveda Institute and trained there following high school.

​Many of her clients have very thick hair and have been going to her for years. “I remove the bulk/thickness,” she says, “so their hair is more manageable for them to work with and style on a daily basis.”

Book an Appointment with Elizabeth

elizabeth kordenbrock  |  stylist

Elizabeth has been in the hair industry for over eight years. She started by assisting highly-trained stylists who’d been in the business for over two decades. For the past eight years, she’s honed her craft. Cuts, color, updos, extensions, and Keratin treatments are all part of her repertoire.  “I’ve been fortunate to attend classes by Paul Mitchell and Davines stylists and by celebrity hairstylist David Lopez,” she said.

Her passion all started back when she was six and took scissors to her American Girl doll. “Needless to say my mother wasn't very pleased, but after practicing on many more dolls, myself, and my gutsy grandma,  I felt like I’d found my niche. It’s pretty cool to say that this many years later, I am still living my dream, so a big thanks to my clients and family who have stood by me.”
