Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2021/06 – June
Bombshell Hair Boutique adds another stylist to meet its burgeoning, out-the-door client list. To book an appointment or to learn more about the services offered, call (828) 342-9623.
Robyn Willard and Carla Gates
If you know Carla Gates, you know she’s always been about style.
She’s always put together just so, whether she’s mingling at a cocktail party or sharing an intimate meal at Midpoint Restaurant. Heads turn and eyes dart.
Heck, even when she was hauling bales of pine straw at Gates Nursery, the sweat somehow just enhanced that natural glamour.
When you get to the bottom of it, you discover it’s really some sort of elaborate performance art, carried out daily on the most public of stages.
That’s why it was only natural that she opened her terrifically-named Bombshell Hair Boutique in 2017.
And that’s why she astonished even herself when she found that she had nearly 100 clients on her waiting list last summer, during the scariest, craziest weeks and months of the Covid-19 panic.
Carla’s concierge approach to hair-styling has won her clients not simply across the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, not simply from seasonal residents from the Southeast, but clients who fly in from across the US every few months to ensure that their hair is, well, let’s just say it, perfect.
And finally, that’s why she’s added Robyn Willard as her new stylist and why both are rapidly filling their summer appointment book (in fact, Carla has some appointments already set for 2022).
“Robyn is skilled in all aspects of styling – cut, color, blowout, waxing, and wedding events – so she’s ready to go behind the chair,” Carla. “I helped her sharpen her skills on coloring, which she’s been doing since 2017. She worked at a blowout bar, so she’d already mastered the basics of salon work. She’s just what I needed to handle people waiting for our styling services. Some of our clients refer to us as The Dynamic Duo.”
Carla urges prospective patrons to act quickly to book their appointments, especially in light of the fact that High Hampton’s exclusive Blackberry Farm has selected Bombshell as their Premier Salon Referral.
In closing, Carla wanted to remind Laurel readers that Bombshell also offers luxury product lines that are only available at salons. And, of course, that she and Robyn are both fully-vaccinated.
For more information or to book a styling session, call (828) 342-9623. Bombshell Hair Boutique is located at 71 Commons Drive, Suite 1, in Cashiers.
