welcome to the place where luxury meets authenticity

Meet Carsen & Kayla —

Co-owners, passionate stylists, & ready to help you acheive the hair of your dreams.

We started our careers at a renowned salon in Buckhead, where we had the incredible opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business. Over the past several years, we've worked side by side, building not only a strong professional bond, but also a shared dream of owning our own salon. Now, that dream has become a reality as we proudly present Modern Muse, our very own hair salon. To all of our new and returning guests alike, we’re so excited to embark on this hair journey with you!

CAREERS

  • "The compliments have been pouring in."

    “Kayla is absolutely amazing. From the gentle way she speaks, to the stunning results at every appointment, you can’t go wrong with Kayla as your stylist. She has helped my hair journey more than any stylist I’ve ever had. Her faith in my hair is unmatched. Can we talk color for a minute? Yeah. Ummm… if I had more freedom with my color choices (work requires natural colors only), I would sit in Kayla’s chair and cover my eyes, just to have her do whatever she wants. She’s that good. The compliments have been pouring in. All of my clients have said something. “That color really suits you!” “Your hair is amazing!” “That red really makes your eyes pop!” Of course, I tell them that Kayla at Modern Muse Salon is a freaking magician with hair! Get on Kayla’s books. You won’t be disappointed.

  • "I had resigned myself to believe I would just never have good hair. Then I met Carsen."

    “I have thick, wavy hair that people have struggled to cut well for years. I remember genuinely growing up thinking my hair just sucked. It always looked choppy, never laid right, felt frizzy and awkward as it grew out. I had resigned myself to believe I would just never have good hair. Then I found Carsen and holy crap I have Disney princess hair and just never knew it. I never don’t receive compliments on my hair throughout the week. It’s cut beautifully and frames my face perfectly, always even, and always healthy looking. I’d pay $100 for this cut and it’d still be worth it honestly. I mean that because I fly to Carsen from Virginia three times a year so SHE can cut my hair. I literally don’t trust anyone else now.”

  • "Best experience I've had"

    “I've been looking for a stylist I can trust for years and Kayla has given me the best experience I've had and I've been to many well known salons in this area. Kayla helped fix my damaged hair and even taught me things about my hair texture and styling that was better than any stylist I've had. Highly recommend!!!”

  • "Always an artist with my hair"

    “I’ve been seeing Carsen for years and she’s always an artist with my hair! Not only do I feel so refreshed after a cut/color, but I feel like I just got done hanging out with a bunch of friends :) Her group of hair stylists are super sweet and welcoming. And their new salon is adorable! Highly recommend!”
