Meet Brittany Harrington, Co-Founder of Salty Locks®️ and Hair Industry Visionary
From a young age, Brittany Harrington’s passion for the hair industry was undeniable. Starting at just 14 as a shampoo girl, she worked tirelessly to put herself through the Georgia Institute of Cosmetology and the On Set Hair Academy under celebrity stylist Susan Lipson.
By 19, Brittany had opened her first salon with just $700, a bucket of green paint, and a plastic shampoo bowl. Her dedication and vision turned that humble start into Studio 285, a 4,200-square-foot salon with 18 stations, earning accolades like Salon Today Magazine's Top 200 Salon of the Year and multiple local awards as the best salon in the Augusta, GA area.
Brittany’s journey to becoming one of North America’s most sought-after fusion extension stylists is marked by relentless dedication to her craft. Known for her proprietary techniques, speed, and signature beachy, textured mermaid styles, she has become a trailblazer in the world of hair extensions. Her artistry has graced prestigious events like Dior Fashion Week, The Tony Awards, and The Today Show, as well as Bravo TV reality stars, including Teresa Giudice, Ariana and Brielle Biermann, and members of the Real Housewives franchises. Her work also extends to Netflix specials, high-end photoshoots, and styling for celebrities like comedian Heather McMahan.
Trained in Los Angeles and an alumna of New York Fashion Week, Brittany’s career has taken her across the globe. Whether leading runway styling for The Knot or working on set for major productions, her influence is undeniable. Brittany’s unique combination of free-spirited creativity, authenticity, and leadership has cemented her reputation as a hair industry powerhouse.
Today, Brittany channels her expertise into Salty Locks®️, the groundbreaking hair extension line she co-founded with her sister Amber. Every strand of Salty Locks reflects Brittany’s commitment to quality, authenticity, and innovation. Her extensions, celebrated for their premium quality and natural aesthetic, set a new standard in the industry.
As a passionate educator, Brittany dedicates her time to mentoring the next generation of hairstylists through her signature classes. Her mission is to empower others to reach their full potential, just as she has done throughout her own journey. For Brittany, hair is not just a profession—it’s an art form, a lifelong passion, and a testament to her drive for excellence.
