Lisa Travis - Founder of Jungle Red Salon

I'm Lisa Travis, the founder of Jungle Red Salon. With over 25 years of experience as a stylist, I'm genuinely passionate about creating a space where every guest feels part of our community. I want you to feel welcome, pampered, and completely at ease whenever you enter our doors. My goal is to provide each guest with an exceptional experience from the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave.

People often ask me about the name "Jungle Red." It's inspired by the 1939 film "The Women." In the movie, the trendy and popular nail polish color used in the salon was "Jungle Red!" I thought it was a fitting name for our salon: unique, memorable, and a little bit daring... just like us.
