Growing Our Business and Expanding the Headliners NOLA Family
At Headliners NOLA Salon, our story has always been about more than just hair. It’s about celebrating our vibrant community, embracing natural beauty, and creating a space where everyone feels valued and respected. As we continue to grow, we’re thrilled to welcome more passionate individuals into our family—people who share our vision and are ready to leave their mark on the world, one strand at a time.
Building a Legacy of Excellence
From day one, our focus has been on delivering exceptional service while fostering a sense of community and belonging. We’ve earned our stripes in the world of locs, but honey, we’re just getting started. The Crescent City has taught us that true greatness is about legacy—and we’re here to make ours shine brighter than the neon lights on Bourbon Street.
As our salon continues to thrive, we’re expanding our services, launching a fresh new website, and, as always, bringing on new team members who can grow with us. Our mission is simple: make sure every person who steps through our doors leaves feeling empowered, beautiful, and proud to be their authentic self. And next year, we’re taking things to the next level by moving to a full-service salon location, where we’ll continue to elevate the standards of beauty and care.
A Commitment to Growth and Training
We know the secret to our success lies in the heart and soul of our team. That’s why we’re dedicated to investing in ongoing training and support to help our stylists reach new heights. Take our daughter, Victoria, for example—she’s been with us for two years now and has become a master at microlocs installation and loc styling. She’s living proof that when passion meets opportunity, magic happens.
We’re beyond excited to welcome two new stars to the Headliners NOLA family! Ivanilise Santiago (Vani), a proud graduate of Blue Cliff Cosmetology specializing in braiding, is eager to dive deeper into the world of natural hair care. And joining her is Kandice White, a spirited stylist with a head full of locs and a hunger to learn everything she can about the art of locs. Both will be training under the watchful eye of Erica Williams-Parks, starting as shampoo assistants, where they’ll soak up our salon’s unique vibes and start building connections with our amazing clients—our headliners.
Starting September 10th, Kandice will be available for $50 loc retwists. These $50 loc retwist appointment will allow her to increase her speed while giving her a chance. to connect with clients. Let Kandice love on your locs by clicking here.
A Family Affair
At Headliners NOLA Salon, we’re more than just a business; we’re a family. Co-founded by myself, Anisa Parks, and my wife, Erica Williams-Parks, our salon is a true reflection of our values—celebrating diversity, empowering our community, and creating a space where everyone feels at home. Our commitment to these values is woven into everything we do, from the way we care for our clients to the way we nurture our team.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to grow our Headliners NOLA family even more. Whether it’s through expanding our services, launching new initiatives, moving to a full-service salon location next year, or welcoming new team members, we’re committed to carrying forward the legacy of excellence and empowerment that has defined us from the start.
