Sage Nine Studio is a private, appointment-only hair studio created for those who value intentional beauty, personalized service, and a calm, restorative experience. Located in the Upstate, Sage Nine is more than a place to get your hair done—it’s a sanctuary. Every detail of the space and every service offered is designed to feel grounded, unhurried, and deeply tailored to the individual sitting in the chair. At the heart of Sage Nine Studio is owner and stylist Haley Jones, a licensed cosmetologist with over 16 years of experience in the beauty industry. Haley is also a licensed cosmetology instructor and NIC-trained state board examiner, bringing a level of expertise and technical precision that sets her apart. Her career has spanned behind-the-chair artistry, education, and examination, giving her a well-rounded perspective that blends creativity with a deep understanding of industry standards. Haley built Sage Nine Studio with intention. After years of working in traditional salon environments, she felt called to create something different—something quieter, more personal, and more aligned with the kind of experience both she and her clients were craving. Sage Nine was born from that vision: a one-on-one studio where clients are never rushed, never double-booked, and always the sole focus during their appointment. Her approach to hair is both artistic and honest. Haley specializes in customized color and lived-in, dimensional results that are designed to grow out beautifully and fit seamlessly into her clients’ real lives. Rather than chasing trends, she prioritizes what works for each individual—taking into account lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and long-term hair health. Her goal is simple but powerful: to give each client exactly what they want and need from their session. The experience at Sage Nine goes beyond the service itself. From the moment clients arrive, they’re welcomed into a thoughtfully curated environment that feels more like a retreat than a salon. The space reflects Haley’s signature aesthetic—moody, soft, and grounded—with a focus on creating a sense of calm. Whether it’s enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee, having meaningful conversation, or simply sitting in stillness, clients are given the freedom to experience their appointment in a way that feels right for them. In addition to serving clients behind the chair, Haley is passionate about supporting the next generation of beauty professionals. Through Sage Nine Studio, she offers state board preparation sessions designed to help students feel confident, prepared, and grounded going into their exams. Drawing from her experience as both an instructor and examiner, she provides clear guidance, practical insight, and a supportive environment for those entering the industry. Outside of the studio, Haley is deeply connected to the local community. She serves on the board of All Things Greenville and is actively involved in supporting and growing small businesses across the Upstate. Her work reflects a commitment not only to her craft, but to creating meaningful connections and contributing to something bigger than herself. At its core, Sage Nine Studio is about intention—intentional work, intentional space, and intentional connection. It’s for those who want more than just a service. It’s for those who want to feel seen, understood, and cared for.
