Meet our hair wizards, style whisperers and certified cool people.
The Chop Shop Hair Co. team is stacked with talent, personality, and just the right amount of chaos. We’re not your average midtown Greensboro salon — unless your average includes killer cuts, strong opinions on toner, and a playlist that slaps.
Brandi Burns
owner • stylist • extension whisperer
Brandi’s been slinging scissors and slaying hair dreams for over a decade, but her salon story started way earlier — picture a kid hanging out in her grandma’s salon, inhaling hairspray like oxygen and falling head-first into a lifelong love affair with hair. From shampoo girl to salon boss, she’s done it all and still shows up looking like a walking Pinterest board (but cooler).
She’s got a thing for extensions, redheads, curls, pixies, razors, and balayage — basically, if it’s high maintenance and worth it, she’s your girl. Brandi specializes in making it look like you woke up like this (you didn’t?), with customized results that somehow feel effortless. Magic? Almost. Skill? Definitely.
Now she owns The Chop Shop Hair Co., where the vibes are good, the judgment is low, and the hair is next level. Come for the transformation, stay for the witty banter and dance breaks.
Monica Hovorka
stylist • highlight heavyweight • 29-year hair vet with a killer laugh
Monica’s been in the hair game for 29 years — which basically means she’s seen it all (yes, even chunky 2000s highlights… and yes, she can fix them). Whether it’s a sun-kissed balayage, bold fashion color, a crisp cut, or subtle highs and lows that hit just right, Monica’s got the magic touch — and the calm, kind vibe to match.
New to the area but not new to making people feel amazing, Monica’s chair is a judgment-free zone full of good energy, great hair, and at least one laugh-out-loud moment (her clients don’t call her their unofficial therapist for nothing).
She’s the easygoing stylist who makes you feel instantly at home — and leaves you wondering how your hair ever survived without her.
Kiki Glowacki
Blonde Whisperer - Hair Veteran - Knife Wielding Alchemist
Kiki may be new to our salon, but she’s definitely not new to the hair game. With a couple of decades behind the chair and a résumé sprinkled with mentors who make other stylists quietly whisper “damn,” she brings real-deal experience wrapped in effortless cool.
She’s the queen of long hair loyalty, the master of lived-in brunettes, the root-touch-up renegade, and the blonde specialist who understands tone, lift, and brightness like it’s her native language. If your goal is flawless dimension and “I woke up like this” color… welcome to Kiki’s chair.
And just when you think you’ve seen all her magic, she casually pulls out a knife. Yes, a knife. No, not for intimidation. For blonding. It’s a technique she’s honed to literal artistry — part haircutting sorcery, part color-blending wizardry, all Kiki.
If experience had a face, if blonde had a guardian, if long hair had a ride-or-die… it would be Kiki Glowacki.
Sit down, buckle up, and trust the woman who can highlight you with a blade and make it look like fine art.
Hailey Diggs
Cool-Girl Stylist, Fade Queen, Dimension Dealer
Hailey comes in with a decade of experience, a gamer-girl edge, and the kind of killer hair that makes people stop mid-scroll. She’s the perfect mix of cool-girl energy and best-friend comfort — the stylist who makes you feel instantly at home in her chair.
Men’s cuts? She owns them.
Lived-in blondes? She’s fluent.
Dimensional brunettes? She paints them like a mood.
Hailey brings an effortless confidence that makes you trust the process without question. She’ll hype you up, give you a cut that actually listens to gravity, and send you out looking like your most put-together self.
Hailey isn’t just a vibe — she’s the friend you want, the stylist you keep, and the reason your hair finally “gets you.”
Game on.
Mikayla Murray
stylist • vibe curator • officially out on her own
Mikayla’s not just the secret sauce anymore—she’s the whole damn recipe. After years of being Brandi’s salon ride-or-die, she’s stepping out from behind the curtain and into her own spotlight.
Her blowouts? Still unreal. Her styling skills? Still mood-altering. But now, it’s all her vision, her vibe, her chair. Whether she’s smoothing, curling, fluffing, or finessing that one stubborn piece that just won’t behave, Mikayla’s serving up hair that looks good, feels better, and moves like it’s in its own music video.
When she’s not re-engineering hair dreams, you’ll catch her vibing to K-pop, snacking on sour candy, and turning everyday moments into main-character energy.
Basically? She’s not just the assistant anymore—she’s the one to book.
Timothy Remavich
Transformation Junkie, Razor Rebel, Perm Prince, Master of Many Nicknames
Mothew. Timmy. Dapper Dan. Whatever you call him, he’s the guy who can take your hair from “meh” to “magnificent” without breaking a sweat. He may be new to the hair game, but don’t let that fool you — he came out of the gate swinging, scissors blazing, razor humming, and already operating like he’s been doing this for years.
He does everything: color, cuts, styling, shaping, snipping, sculpting… but his heart beats a little faster for razor cuts, perms, and full-blown transformations. If it involves a dramatic reveal or the words “trust me,” Timothy is already reaching for the cape.
He’s the stylist who brings enthusiasm, precision, and a tiny bit of chaos (the fun kind) into every appointment — and somehow still makes you feel like you’re the main character.
In short?
Timothy may be new to the scene, but he’s already a force.
A shape-shifter.
A curl-creator.
A transformation technician with a name — and nickname — for every mood.
Kayla Steelman
Green-Haired Goddess, Cosplay Queen, Head-Massage Rockstar, Future Hair Legend
Meet Kayla: our green-haired goddess, the new kid on the block, and the official it girl you didn’t know you needed. She’s got cosplay energy, a love for anything green, and the heart of a former emo kid — which means yes, she absolutely gets it.
Don’t let “new” fool you.
Kayla is a force.
A vibe.
A fully loaded rocket of potential wrapped in killer hair and quiet confidence.
She’s mastered the sacred art of shampooing and delivers head massages that could honestly be classified as emotional therapy. She absorbs knowledge like bleach on level 3 hair and brings an eager, electric energy to every service.
She may still be taking it all in, but she’s already a rockstar — ready to learn, ready to grow, and definitely ready to change your hair.
Green hair, good hands, great vibes:
That’s Kayla. 💚
Heather Irish
Front-End Phenom & Rockabilly Ringleader
Heather is our red-haired, rockabilly dreamboat with a voice straight out of late-night radio and the hospitality of your favorite dive-bar bartender who actually likes you. She’s not Type A—she’s Type awesome.
With a wink, a smirk, and the uncanny ability to make chaos look like choreography, she keeps the salon flowing like it’s no big deal (even when it absolutely is). She’s the secret sauce. The velvet rope. The keeper of the vibe and the bringer of order disguised as effortless cool.
And just when you think her magic stops at the front desk—boom—she breaks out the makeup kit. Need a confidence pick-me-up? Got a hot date? Attending a special event where “just mascara” isn’t gonna cut it? Heather will have you looking like the main character in under an hour.
And yes—she will remember your name, your dog’s name, your favorite drink, and the last thing you ranted about at checkout. That’s just her brand of magic.
Heather doesn’t just run the front end… she runs the room.
J’Bria Thompson
Front-End Wizard, Chaos Coordinator, Vibe Stabilizer
Meet Jabria: the human version of “refresh,” the guardian of the front desk, and the unofficial queen of making everything look easy. She juggles phone calls, texts, emails, scheduling, rescheduling, and those wild “Can I come in today?” requests with the grace of a ballet dancer and the smile of someone who genuinely means it.
She’s your first hello, your calm in the storm, and the reason the front end doesn’t spontaneously combust on a Tuesday. She hands out drinks like a hospitality fairy, keeps the music flowing like a perfectly timed playlist drop, and somehow still manages to book your toner before you even finish asking.
In short?
Jabria keeps the place running, the clients returning, and the vibes immaculate — all while looking unbothered and slightly magical.
