From Abbey's childhood adventures turning Barbie's hair into masterpieces to now transforming her clients' hair at High Five, she's always had a passion for the art of hair and the magic of a really great cut. But, it's not just about the hair for her -- it's about igniting confidence and self-love in every person who sits in her chair. When she's not behind the chair, you'll find her exploring Cincinnati's hidden gems, discovering new breweries, and jamming to 80's beats. And a fun twist: Abbey is fluent in sign language! Abbey believes that communication isn't just about words; it's about making everyone feel seen and valued.

The things that get Anna most excited are making new friends and getting to know her clients as individuals. When she was growing up, Anna's hairstylist helped express herself through her hair and it inspired Anna so much that she set out to make a career of doing the same for others. At a young age, she was experimenting with her sisters' hair color and was the go-to for styling her friends' hair for school dances. She has a contagious smile and calming presence that will make you feel like you're spending an hour with an old friend (with the added bonus of leaving that time looking and feeling really great). @itsannarosehair

Lauren was always the go-to girl when her friends needed their hair styled for school dances and weddings. So, it was a no-brainer that she decided to go to cosmetology school to become a licensed hairstylist. Hair has always been a creative outlet for Lauren and getting to know her clients is an added perk that she values about her job. There's no doubt you'll laugh while you're in her chair because she has a great sense of humor. And, you'll leave with a deeper belief that you were born beautiful because she helps people believe that about themselves. Oh, and you should ask her about her family's longstanding badminton tournament tradition. @laurendennehyhair

Ashley wants to make sure you leave her chair feeling (and looking) your best. And that won't be difficult after spending time with her... she has an infectious and positive personality that will make you feel like you're instant BFFs. You'll really hit it off if you're into reading fantasy novels or traveling because Ashley is a big fan of both. When she's not behind the chair you can find her reading, adventure traveling, trying all the foods, or hiking the great outdoors. @ashleygillsassyhair

Duffy has well over a decade of professional experience behind the chair but fell in love with doing hair as a little girl. This lifelong passion for styling brings a blend of expertise and genuine enthusiasm to High Five. As a vivids and blonding specialist, she transforms hair into works of art that reflect her mastery of color and technique. But, don't let this intimidate you because one of Duffy's favorite parts of the process is teaching her clients how to style and care for their hair. When you're in her chair, she'll equip you with the tools to create salon-style looks at home. After a transformative time in Los Angeles where Duffy's expertise was shaped by the trends and styles of the West Coast, she is back home in Cincinnati. She is thrilled to infuse her roots into the local hair scene, excited to work her magic and create unforgettable styles that reflect the unique beauty of each client. @duffydoesbombhair

The expressive, creative, and relational aspects of his work make Sam fired up to show up to the salon every day. @sammyleehills

Natalie is an artistic soul and creative force. Her journey in the world of hairstyling began at the age of five when she started to cut her mom's and sister's hair and knew she found her calling. Natalie honed her skills at the Aveda School, graduating in October 2020 with a passion for blonding and extensions. Originally from West Chester, Natalie now lives in Oakley and is having fun exploring the city.
