Staci Neal

Hair Artist

With 17 years in the beauty industry—and over a decade with Cotton Rouge & Company—Staci Neal brings experience, heart, and a whole lot of creativity to every client she serves. Known for her signature braided styles, edgy updos, and fun-loving personality (yes, she has purple hair!), Staci creates looks that are as unique and vibrant as the people she works with.
Her passion for hair styling began early—growing up in a large family, Staci was the go-to for getting her siblings’ hair done for Sunday church. That natural talent and love for serving others quickly grew into a thriving career. Today, she specializes in both classic bridal looks and bold, textured styles, with a particular love for faux hawks and high updos.
Staci’s favorite part of working in the beauty industry? The joy of helping brides feel beautiful on one of the most important days of their lives—and the excitement of working in new places with new people each day. She’s also a big fan of Kendra Dry Texture Spray, which she swears by for adding volume and grip to any hair type.
Outside the salon, Staci loves adventure, traveling, and spending time with her husband and baby boy. She’s also a proud competitor with the World Axe Throwing League (yes, really!). Her mantra? “With God, all things are possible.”

Staci with Cotton Rouge was the hairstylist for my wedding day. She did my hair, all of my bridesmaid’s hair, and even was willing to help my mom last minute on the wedding day. She met us at the hotel where we were getting ready and was so fun and easygoing. Truly a pleasure to work with! I let my bridesmaids choose whatever style they wanted for their hair, and Staci was more than willing to do whatever they chose. Whether we showed her a picture of what we wanted or just explained what we were hoping for, she made it a reality."
