Shannon Carbaugh’s journey at Holiday Hair in Shippensburg, PA, spans nearly 18 years, a tenure she attributes to the salon’s family atmosphere, supportive colleagues, and loyal clientele.
“We’re like a close-knit family,” Shannon reflects. “Many of us have been here almost a decade, and we do everything together. It’s a special workplace.”
Justina, her manager and territory leader, echoes this sentiment: “I selected Shannon for this recognition because she consistently goes above and beyond for her team and our entire territory. She’s truly exceptional!”
In addition to her role as a stylist, Shannon has served as a salon leader for the past 11 years. She cherishes the relationships she builds with her clients and the opportunity her work provides to connect with people on a deeper level. Many of her clients have been with her for years, spanning generations, relying on her for haircuts and color services.
One touching example is a longtime client who, over the years, brought in her entire family for services with Shannon. When she passed away, the family entrusted Shannon with styling her hair for the funeral. “It was definitely outside my comfort zone,” Shannon recalls, “but I felt deeply honored that they chose me. It became a peaceful moment of closure.”
Shannon particularly enjoys creating beautiful color services, especially blonding and fashion colors, as well as men’s cuts. She emphasizes the importance of continuous learning, staying updated on trends, and maintaining an open mind to new techniques. “Don’t hesitate to try new things,” she advises aspiring stylists.
Outside work, Shannon enjoys spending time with her husband and their four-year-old daughter, traveling and off-roading in their Jeep.
