Our Team
BELINDA HARMON- OWNER
​
I’ve been a professional cosmetologist for over 24 years and I love my job! I love “doing hair”! When I graduated from Kenneth Shuler in 1999, I dreamed of opening my own salon so that I could serve my clients with blessed hands. Now I am proud to be the owner of Styles Confidential Hair Studio, located in Northeast Columbia.
In my career, I’ve managed a few salons. I have also seen trends come and go. The thing that remains a constant is the desire to maintain healthy, manageable hair that accentuates ones natural beauty. Healthy hair is my number one goal for each client I serve.
I am known as "The Silk Press Slayer". Although I enjoy all aspects of hair styling, my unique specialities include silk presses (of course), restorative treatments, relaxers, color, flat ironing and up-dos.
Thank you for taking the time to check me out. I’d love to talk to you about how I can become your hair care professional. Contact me to get your dose of Styles Confidential confidence.

​
My journey in cosmetology began after earning my bachelor’s degree from Benedict College. I later attended Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology, where I proudly placed 3rd in a school-hosted hair competition—an experience that helped fund my tuition and reinforced my commitment to this craft.
I specialize in:

​
I’m also currently training to become a certified Sisterlocks™ consultant—a service I’ll be adding very soon!

What I love most about my work is how it can transform not just how someone looks, but how they feel about themselves. It’s a beautiful thing to help people see their own beauty more clearly. So let me help you enhance yours!
When I’m not in the salon, you’ll find me singing karaoke, line dancing, or sewing—yes, I’m a seamstress too!
