Kim Carter and Alicia Miller met in 2006 as two new and eager stylists in Little Rock. Their chairs sat right next to each other in the salon, just as they do today. After knowing each other for only a few weeks, the duo found themselves on a 6-hour road trip, headed to a Davines class in Kansas City. That 6-hour road trip lead to an amazing friendship and ultimately an amazing partnership in business!

“We knew each other before we knew our own husbands, before babies...before it all! Through both extremely happy times and times of horrible sadness we learned that this was more than just a friendship, we became the sisters we never had. Funny enough our mothers both have the same last name… so maybe we actually are sisters!”

In mid 2018, after 12 years at each other’s side, they knew it was time to open a space of their own. They dreamt of a space that embodied their personal aesthetic while also complimenting Davines + their manifesto to build a work environment that feels like home. Above all, they set out to create a space that would fully embrace the true entrepreneurial spirit of the hairdresser.

 

They found the perfect location and couldn’t allow what was previously a Hillcrest institution and salon to become anything else. After an extensive 6 month renovation, they now call what was once Salon Avatar… home.
