No. IThe people

Book a person, not a chair

Read the reviews and one pattern jumps out: nobody here books “a haircut.” They book Lauren, Kelly, Shawna — their person. Every face below is real, from the salon’s own booking page. Tap any of them to book.

No. IIWhat we do

Salon on one side, spa on the other

In the salon’s own words: “A full service salon and spa offering cuts, colors, extensions as well as multiple esthetic services!” The “& Spa” in the name is earned, not decorative — so the site shows both halves.

No. IIIThe part no template salon site has

A salon that watches out for you

Every salon says “we care.” Magnolias got written up in the Portland Press Herald for it.

Christy was among the first area hairstylists trained by “Skinny on Skin” — a program run by the Cancer Care Center of York County that teaches stylists to notice the early signs of skin cancer in the places only a stylist ever really sees. By 2017, six of the salon’s fifteen stylists had taken the course.

And one of the program’s first saves was in this salon: Christy herself was treated for a cancerous lesion it helped catch.

As reported in the Portland Press Herald, March 2017. Presented as what it is — a team that pays attention — not a medical service, and never a diagnosis.

“After all, they actually know our scalp better than we do.”
Karen Pierce-Stewart, Cancer Care Center of York County — in the Press Herald
“I can’t offer a diagnosis, but I can say ‘this is something you might want to have checked.’”
Christy Legere, co-owner — in the Press Herald
No. IVThe salon

Two sisters, one salon —
from Jackson Square to Daigle Lane

Christy Legere and Kelly Clark — sisters — own Magnolias, and it runs like a family operation that grew up: back in 2017 the Portland Press Herald already counted fifteen stylists and about 1,200 customers a year, most of them rebooking every three to six weeks.

Nobody rebooks the same chair every four weeks out of habit. They come back because it’s their salon.

The salon’s own 2008 website put it in Jackson Square, under a tagline the sisters wrote themselves: “Creating An Experience!!” Today Magnolias fills Suite 102 at 25 Daigle Lane — a bigger room, the same experience.

Directory listings date the salon to 1996. We’re confirming that with Christy and Kelly before it goes in print — because if it holds, 2026 is Magnolias’ thirtieth year, and that belongs on the front page, not in the fine print.

  1. 2008“Creating An Experience!!” — the salon’s own tagline, on its own website, from its Jackson Square days.
  2. 2017Fifteen stylists, ~1,200 customers a year, and a Press Herald feature on the team’s skin-cancer training.
  3. TodaySeventeen pros at 25 Daigle Lane — hair, spa, lashes, massage, and a boutique corner.

Ownership, team size and customer figures as reported in the Portland Press Herald (2017); location history and tagline from the salon’s own archived 2008 website. Founding year from directory listings only — chipped until the owners confirm. Final about-page copy written with the owners before launch.
