Behind the Brand
Where beauty meets passion, creativity, and connection.
At The Mix’d Society, beauty is more than a service—it’s a personalized experience rooted in passion, creativity, and connection.
Founded with Purpose
Founded by Lori Huffman Klingensmith, a stylist with over 30 years of experience in the beauty industry, the Mix’d Society was created as an extension of a legacy built on excellence.
After owning the award-winning LeGrande Salon and Day Spa for 27 years, Lori envisioned a more intimate, elevated space—one where every client feels seen, valued, and confident.
​
With a focus on customized beauty, The Mix’d Society specializes in hair extensions, lash extensions, custom color, and precision cuts. Every service is thoughtfully tailored to enhance your natural beauty while creating a look that feels uniquely you.
The Mix’d Team
Behind every service is a team of passionate artists dedicated to helping you look and feel your best. From custom color and precision cuts to lashes and beauty services, each experience is thoughtfully tailored—because no two clients are the same.
