Salon Owner & Ambassador Stylist

Extensions Expert, Fine/Thinning Hair Expert, Color Specialist

Award-winning hair designer Steve Hightower is recognized as one of the finest hairdressers in Atlanta.

He grew up in Alabama and, as a child, practiced hairdressing with his Mother in their kitchen. Although he never attended cosmetology school, Steve began his professional career as a stylist in 1985, and apprenticed in one of the best salons in Buckhead. Using his God-given talent and his art degree, Steve first specialized in hair color, skin tones, and texture.

Because true artists are never satisfied with anyone else’s work, Steve utilized his artistic background and created his own style—sculpt cutting—which involves the shape of the head and body, the natural direction of hair growth, and the texture of the hair.

Steve continued to climb the ladder of success and built an excellent reputation for sculpt cutting and color. Discovering treatments and remedies for hair that is fine and thinning, he became a Specialist in treating that type of hair. Today, 75% of his clientele have hair that is fine and thinning, and they are amazed at the improvement Steve can accomplish. Most say, “I never thought there was anything that could be done to make my hair look so beautiful.” A professional application of the right product does create a change in the physical dimension of the hair, but the rest is Steve’s magic. Seeing the joy in client’s faces has made this specialty his love and professional passion.

Steve’s work can be seen on national television shows such as ‘Married to Medicine’ and the Weather Channel’s ‘AMHQ’. He is also the lead stylist for the Four Seasons Hotel’s celebrity guests.

In 2012 Steve was a featured stage artist at Intercoiffure, ‘the international Oscars of the beauty industry’. This prestigious invitation only annual event is a held annually at the Waldorf Astoria. He has been the assistant to Vivienne MacKinder, Artistic Director of Intercoiffure, at four Intercoiffure Ateliers in 2013 and 2014.

Known for his passion and talent for hair, he has taught across the United States as a Platform Artist and National Educator for Mediceuticals. His salon is a leading salon and education center in the Atlanta area for L’Oreal Professionnel, a leading retailer of Oribe, Repechage, Jane Iredale and Zenagen products. Steve’s salon is also the first and only salon in Atlanta that has the Hair Laser for regrowth.
