A Message From Lori

The Leader I
Wish I'd Had

"I've been in this industry for 35 years. I've owned multiple salons, built teams from scratch, and solved every problem you're probably dealing with right now. And through all of it, I learned exactly what a great salon environment looks like — and what it doesn't."

At Fountain of Youth, my goal is simple: to be the kind of owner and leader I wish I'd had early in my career. Someone who invests in you, communicates openly, holds a high standard, and genuinely wants to see you succeed.

This is not just a place to work. It is a place to grow your craft, build your clientele, and be part of something that has earned the trust of this community for decades.

If you are talented, driven, and serious about your career — I want to meet you.

The Right Fit

Who We're Looking For

We are not just filling a position. We are building a team. Here is the kind of person who thrives at Fountain of Youth.

✂️

Passionate About the Craft

You take continuing education seriously. You push yourself to grow technically and you take pride in the results you deliver to every client, every time.

🤝

A Team Player

You lift others up, communicate directly, and understand that the energy you bring affects everyone around you. Drama stays at the door.

⭐

Client-Experience Focused

You believe that beautiful results are just the beginning. You create an experience your clients look forward to and can't stop telling their friends about.

📈

Growth Minded

You are not coasting. You have goals — for your book, your skills, your income — and you want to be in an environment that supports all of them.

💎

High Standards

You hold yourself to a professional standard — in your work, your appearance, your communication, and how you represent the salon you are part of.

🌱

Ready to Be Mentored

You are open to guidance from someone who has spent 35 years solving the exact challenges you are facing. You see experience as an asset, not a threat.

From Our Team

What Our Team Says

"I have known Lori for 30 years, and joining her team at Fountain of Youth was one of the best decisions of my career. What you see is what you get — she is the same person behind closed doors as she is in front of everyone. She leads with honesty, holds high standards, and genuinely cares about the people around her. Three years in and I am more proud to be here than ever."

Janet Eudy
Stylist — 3 Years at Fountain of Youth

"I worked with Lori, left to focus on my family, and when the time was right — coming back was an easy decision. That says everything. Not many workplaces make you want to return, but Fountain of Youth is different. The environment Lori has built is supportive, professional, and real. I am now going into my third year back and I could not imagine being anywhere else."

Lindsey Stewart
Stylist — Returned After Starting a Family · 3rd Year Back

"As an esthetician, finding a salon and spa that truly values the skin care side of the business is not easy. At Fountain of Youth, I am not an afterthought — I am part of a real team. Lori treats every service and every service provider with equal respect. Two years in, I have grown my clientele, expanded my skills, and found a place where I genuinely love coming to work."
