Founder

Founder • Hair Artist • Wellness Curator

For over 12 years, Carley James has built her career within the beauty industry with a passion for creating effortlessly lived-in hair color, modern haircutting, styling, hair extensions, and men’s grooming.

She is a mentor for new stylists, giving a hands on - foundational mentorship alongside her for a successful career.

Her approach to beauty has always gone beyond hair alone — focusing just as much on the experience, environment, and overall feeling clients leave with.

As the founder and owner of LYV Salon, Carley envisioned a modern luxury space that blends contemporary beauty with wellness, intentional design, and genuine connection. Inspired by organic textures, natural elements, clean products, and a more thoughtful salon culture, she created LYV to feel refined yet welcoming — a place where clients can slow down, feel cared for, and experience beauty in a more elevated way.

Her philosophy centers around health, longevity, and self-expression. Creating an atmosphere that feels both inspiring and comfortable. Through LYV, Carley hopes to redefine the salon experience by bringing together artistry, wellness, and modern luxury under one vision.
