Our Salon Story

Gentry’s Hair Studio opened in 2018. Founded by Melody Gentry, the small studio space provided a relaxing space for clients to enjoy hair & spa services. Throughout her 20+ year career, she has always strived to bring the inner light to the outward appearance for each client.

In 2019, the studio was relocated to downtown Shawnee. This move provided a larger space & more stylists. Although the space is bigger, the goal is still the same. Everyone is welcome! Our goal will always be to create a safe, welcoming environment for anyone in need of beauty services.

Come let us help your inner light shine. We are here for you Hair, Body & Soul!

Our Suites Story

January 2024 opened a new chapter for our little studio! We added an additional 2200 sq ft of space to our east & our creative juices started flowing!! It has taken some time, a lot of hard work, & plenty of creativity, but the space is finally coming together!

Our vision for this space is to provide a safe, creative space for photographers to use as needed for their indoor photo shoot needs. We are striving to provide the basics for any session needed. Our amenities include backdrops, floor drops, props & furniture (selection is small right now, but we are working to add to our selection.) We have a coffee bar provided for you & your clients, & a changing station in the restroom.

We have also found that this space is great for intimate parties such as bridal or baby showers. We even have a stage for classes or workshops. We provide 6ft tables & folding chairs. You are welcome to decorate as you wish, & use the backdrop stands & couches within reason.

We would love to host your next shoot, or event.
