Oak + Mane Hair Co. is a hair salon in Huntsville, AL. Opened in February by owner Nikkie Elliot, the salon aims to be a “dream hair home” for both stylists and clients in the heart of Huntsville. Elliot, who moved from California to Huntsville during the COVID-19 pandemic to be closer to family, described the city as having “the small town feel but big city vibes we wanted.” Her vision for the salon was to give stylists the freedom of a flexible schedule, affordable rental rates, or higher than standard commission rates. She also envisions the space as a venue for hosting charitable events and collaborating with other small business owners, with the first such event scheduled for April 26.
The salon is open Monday through Saturday, from 9 AM to 8 PM. Elliot’s background includes years of living in California, and she chose Huntsville because of its blend of small-town charm and big-city energy, as well as the opportunity to bring a clean, organic, and modern aesthetic to the area. The salon is located at 909 NW Oakwood Ave, Suite C, in Huntsville, Alabama 35811, about 0.2 miles from Memorial Parkway Northwest and the Madison County Service Center, and roughly 0.3 miles from the H.C. Blake Art & History Center, the Alabama Department of Public Safety, and Pinhook Creek. It is also about 0.4 miles from Roller Time sports center.
The salon holds a positive rating of 4.80 from the customers who have reviewed it, reflecting a strong start for this new business in the Huntsville community. With its focus on stylist flexibility and community engagement, Oak + Mane Hair Co. brings a fresh, locally owned option to the city’s salon scene.
