With over two decades of experience in the salon and spa industry, Ashley Dixon Talley leads Serenity with a passion for excellence, hospitality, and heart. Her journey began as a teenager at the front desk and has grown into owning one of South Arkansas’ most recognized salon and spas, known for blending beauty, wellness, and purpose. Ashley is a graduate of Toni&Guy, a former TIGI educator, a current MoroccanOil Ambassador, a certified skin and laser technician, and a devoted community leader. Ashley is known for creating a workplace culture where team members feel empowered, supported, and inspired. She’s passionate about building meaningful client relationships and delivering a truly elevated experience, blending beauty, wellness, and faith in every detail of Serenity. 

Ashley’s first priority is her faith and family, and she encourages her team to always put theirs first as well. Her career is a true passion, but she also finds joy in reading (the library at Southern Serenity is her childhood dream come true), traveling, and cheering on her boys at the ballfield.

I’m a hairstylist at heart. It is more than a job, it’s my passion and my creative outlet. I believe the time someone spends in my chair should feel like their time, whether they need a good conversation or a quiet reset. 

My goal is always to meet people where they are and make them feel seen, heard, and taken care of. I take pride in my work, my timing, and in offering a high standard of service every single time. 

I specialize in cutting, coloring, and highlighting with various techniques. For me, it’s not just about doing hair, it’s about building trust and relationships one appointment at a time.

I specialize in cut and color, with a special love for rich reds and embracing the beauty of curly hair. Whether I’m behind the chair or behind the scenes, my goal is always the same: to help people feel seen, confident, and cared for.

What I love most about my dual role is the chance to blend creativity with connection — enhancing not only someone’s look, but also the spirit and story of the Serenity brand. 

Outside the salon, you’ll usually find me creating something, finding ways to give back to my community, or spending quality time with friends (and probably laughing too loud while I’m at it).

I’m a Senior Stylist and Apprentice Coordinator at Serenity Day Spa, where I have the privilege of serving guests and mentoring future beauty professionals. I specialize in cut + color services, nails, blowouts, and facial waxing. I love helping each guest achieve a look that makes them feel confident and beautiful. My goal is to provide a personalized experience in a welcoming and relaxing environment.

My favorite part about Serenity is the culture-we truly work as a team to create a positive atmosphere for both our guests and staff. Helping people feel refreshed, confident, and cared for is what I love most about what I do.

I specialize in vivid, high-impact colors that let my clients express exactly who they are — whether that’s bold, bright, or beautifully unexpected. I believe hair should be fun, fearless, and a reflection of your personality, and I love using my creativity to make that vision come to life. 

For me, it’s not just about creating great hair (though that’s always the goal!) — it’s about helping people feel confident, empowered, and seen. Whether you’re in my chair for a big transformation or a small refresh, I want you to leave feeling like the best version of yourself. 

Outside of the salon, you’ll find me exploring new color trends, laughing with friends, or planning my next adventure — preferably with a coffee in hand and something neon nearby

Hair is my art, my outlet, and my way of connecting with people. Whether you’re in my chair for a full transformation or just a quick touch-up, I’m here to listen, laugh, and help you feel like your absolute best. I believe in creating real, fun, and personalized experiences so your hair goals aren’t just talked about, but fully achieved. 

I specialize in custom airbrush spray tans, precision cuts, color, men’s cuts, facial waxing, and Goddess Genius hair extensions to help you look and feel amazing from head to toe. 

When I’m not doing hair, you’ll probably find me cheering from the sidelines at a kids’ sports practice or game, or spending quality time with friends and family, soaking up all the good vibes.

My favorite part of my job is helping clients feel their best when they leave — whether it's rocking a new color, enjoying a fresh blowout, or relaxing with a Japanese head spa. If you need someone to talk to or just want to wind down from the chaos of everyday life, I’m always happy to go with the flow. 

I especially love working with wavy and curly hair and helping clients start their hair journey. When I'm not behind the chair, I enjoy lounging with my cats, spending time with friends and family, and listening to music. My ultimate goal is to help every guest feel better than when they arrived — confident, cared for, and authentically themselves.

I’ve been working at Serenity for almost two years as a receptionist. What started as a simple job while in school quickly became something much more meaningful. I discovered a true passion for the hair industry and realized it’s the path I want to follow long-term. I recently graduated Texarkana College as a cosmetologist and am now offering services in spray tans, blowouts, Japanese Head Spa, updos, and makeup. I’m excited for the journey ahead and everything the future holds in this field I’ve grown to love.

I’m currently a student at Texarkana College working toward my cosmetology license. I’m so excited to be part of the Serenity team! I love the fun, welcoming atmosphere I get to walk into every day, and I’m so grateful to be surrounded by such talented people who are always willing to share their knowledge and help me grow in my future career!

I recently graduated from Texarkana College as a Cosmetologist and plan to go back in the fall for Barber school! I am excited to work at Serenity because it gives me the opportunity to grow as a Cosmetologist and learn new things each and every day. 

Serenity gives me a new outlook on ways to help my clients feel cared for and respected. My goal is to make sure all of my clients feel comfortable and valued when they sit in my chair!

I fell in love with massage therapy many years ago after my niece and a close friend inspired and encouraged me to begin my journey. In 2016, I graduated massage therapy school, received my license, and truly found my calling. 

For me, massage isn't just about routine and relaxation. It's my passion. I find so much joy in seeing my clients get up off the table feeling renewed and pain free. It's truly a humbling experience. 

I'm always focusing on my clients' specific muscle issues, approaching each one with detailed care. I'm able to help people with muscular immobility, extreme tension, TMJ, sciatic pain, and migraines. I use multiple massage modalities such as Thai, deep tissue, and lymphatic drainage. Every visit begins with a consultation, so you will receive a personalized experience designed according to your specific issues. 

In my spare time, I enjoy junk journaling, crochet and macrame, sewing, baking, and gardening. Of course, a good cup of coffee on the back porch is always time well spent.

I love every aspect of what I do—whether it’s creating a moment of relaxation or performing facial treatments or waxing services. If I had to choose a favorite, though, it would be the dermaplane facial. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing those instant, glowing results. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and I often unwind by drawing in my free time. Above all, I’m passionate about helping clients feel confident in their own skin. I truly believe confidence is key, and my goal is always to help each person leave feeling their absolute best.

I graduated from the University of Aesthetics and Cosmetology School in El Dorado in July 2024. After graduating, I’ve gained hands on experience in signature and dermaplane facials, lash extensions, waxing, blowouts, Japanese Head Spa, and spray tanning. 

From the moment I stepped into Serenity, the positive and welcoming environment felt like the perfect fit for me. I’m passionate about continuing my education and am currently training in advanced services including HydraFacial, brow laminations, and brow tinting.

Malory is a Nurse Practitioner, Master Level Injector, and AMI Allergan Trainer, as well as a dedicated skincare professional. With over ten years of experience, she serves as the proprietor and primary injector at MediSpa on Main. Malory is passionate about helping every client feel comfortable from the moment they walk in and leave feeling refreshed, confident, and radiant in their skin. 

She brings a thoughtful, client-focused approach to every appointment—tailoring treatments to each person’s unique needs and goals for the best possible outcome. When she's not at the spa, Malory loves spending quality time with her two children, who keep her grounded and inspired every day.

I began my journey with Serenity as a receptionist in high school and quickly fell in love with the atmosphere and values of the organization. During college, I served as Director of Operations, where I oversaw inventory management, account balances, payroll, front desk training, and system maintenance. In 2022, I graduated with a BBA, concentrating in accounting.

Today, my role has evolved into a part-time, behind-the-scenes position as Payroll Manager. Over the past 11 years, Serenity has provided me with invaluable experience in business operations and has fostered lifelong relationships with my coworkers. I’ve especially cherished getting to know our clients and their families—it’s been a privilege to be part of their lives.

I manage the front desk, social media, and day-to-day operations at Serenity, and I genuinely love what I do. I enjoy taking care of the behind-the-scenes details so every guest’s experience feels smooth and thoughtful. 

What makes Serenity so special to me is the culture and all of the people here; it’s truly a place that feels like home. I love walking in each day to a team I’m proud to be part of and clients I enjoy connecting with. 

Whether I’m working behind the scenes or talking to a guest at the front desk, my goal is to help make everyone’s experience welcoming, exciting, and memorable!

As the receptionist at Serenity Day Spa, I’m usually the first smiling face you’ll see when you walk through our doors. I love helping guests feel welcomed, relaxed, and taken care of from the moment they arrive. Whether I’m booking appointments, answering questions, or making sure your visit goes smoothly, my goal is to create a calm and positive experience for everyone who visits our spa.

I’m also certified in spray tanning and love helping clients feel confident with a natural, glowing tan. I plan to attend cosmetology school soon so I can continue growing my passion for the beauty industry and expand the services I’m able to offer. I’m excited to continue learning and being part of a team that helps people feel refreshed, confident, and cared for every day.
