"Luna Jade Salon began with a simple love for making people feel beautiful and confident. This is a passion I've had since childhood. What started as braiding hair at sleepovers eventually turned into a passion I couldn’t ignore. This passion led me to attend Cosmetology school in 2014, and then start a place of my own in 2022 after 8 working in the industry. Today, Luna Jade is more than a salon- it’s a place where our clients can feel cared for, confident, and completely themselves. My vision is to create a one-stop destination for beauty and self-care, while staying ahead of trends and bringing the very best to our community. What keeps me going is simple: My love for people, dedication to my craft, and striving to make a positive impact in the lives of our clients’ every single day."

I'm Karina Swinford. I was raised here in Athens, Alabama and now, I am the proud new owner of Luna Jade Salon. 
​As a busy mom of two and a business owner, I know how important it is to have a home away from home. Somewhere you can relax, be yourself, and feel confident even upon going home. I'm dedicated to offering you a unique salon experience each and every time. I offer online booking so you can make an appointment anytime, day or night. You will leave not only with product recommendations specifically geared towards your needs, but the education on how to style your hair as well. 

About

Hi, I'm Grace! 
I have been doing hair for over four years and I have a passion for haircutting. I have recently moved back from West Palm Beach, FL.
I absolutely love sunny warm days! I feel like nothing can make you feel more confident than a great haircut and blowout. 
My goal is for us to create a plan together so that you know exactly what to expect throughout your visit with me. I can't wait to see you in my chair soon!

About

Hello! My name is Anna Grace. I have been a part of the Luna Jade team since October '23.
I'm currently working on building my clientele and would love to have you in my chair! Behind the chair I love extensions and custom color. If you're family oriented, love self care, and have a great sense of humor, I'm your girl!
When I'm not behind the chair you can find me playing with my daughter or catching up with friends! I'm a coffee enthusiast and I love to be in nature when I can. I'm passionate about learning and I get along great with other like minded people.

 I can't wait to meet you!
