She has been pivotal in our expansion to a larger location at SMS Village Pointe as well as the second location in Countryside Village. Her personal touch can be seen throughout our trademark salon design she calls “industrial with a little whimsy.” Around here she’s known as “Mama A” because of her love of mentoring young associates and watching them grow in their careers. She is Steph’s right hand gal managing the salon operations and growth into the future. Her sense of style adds to the overall SMS experience and Allatia is proud to have a permanent place for the “Allatia Jane” boutique at the SMS Countryside location.
