At Bombshells Hair Studio, hairstyling is more than just a profession—it’s an art form. With a team of passionate stylists dedicated to creativity, innovation, and personal connection, this salon has cultivated a reputation for excellence and community. Two of its talented stylists, Casi Brown and Carrie Raines, share their journeys, specialties, and what makes Bombshells a truly special place.
Q: How did you get started in the beauty industry?
Casi: My love for hairstyling started with a fascination for creativity and beauty. It felt like the perfect blend of artistic expression and personal connection. After cosmetology school, I found my home at Bombshells, a place that truly inspires me.
Carrie: I have always loved the beauty industry. As a child, I was captivated by my mom’s rock-and-roll-themed salon experiences, and later, I loved helping my brother with 80s and 90s hairstyles. Even after receiving a college scholarship, I knew traditional schooling wasn’t for me—I just wanted to make people feel beautiful. When we moved to Murfreesboro, I found my perfect fit at Bombshells.
Q: What is your favorite specialty or technique?
Casi: I love making my clients feel their best with natural, lived-in color. Blending techniques like balayage and subtle highlights create soft, effortless looks that grow out beautifully.
Carrie: My specialty is creating natural, sun-kissed hair with seamless blends. Whether it’s gray coverage, balayage, or color transformations, I love ensuring my clients leave feeling confident.
Q: How does Bombshells keep up with trends and education?
Casi: Continuing education is a top priority. We have monthly education sessions with top industry educators, and I stay inspired by attending conventions and following industry leaders online.
Carrie: We’re a learning salon. We not only attend training but also learn from each other—our apprentices bring in fresh perspectives that keep us on our toes.
Q: Can you share a memorable client transformation?
Casi: I had a client hesitant about a big change, but after taking the leap, she was glowing with confidence. Seeing that joy is why I love what I do.
Carrie: A recent favorite was a gray-blending transformation. My client had been dyeing her grays dark brown for years, but she was ready to embrace her natural silver. The process took time, but she now rocks a stunning silver fox look!
Q: What makes Bombshells special to you?
Casi: The sense of community and growth. It’s not just a job—it’s a place where we uplift each other.
Q: Tell us about Bombshells’ nonprofit initiative, A Wig’s Story.
Carrie: A Wig’s Story provides free, high-quality wigs to individuals undergoing cancer treatments. We’ve partnered with local businesses to raise funds and awareness, ensuring we can continue to support those in need. Our next big fundraiser is in October—stay tuned and wear your pink!
Bombshells is family. Everyone here supports one another, from the owner to the front desk and our apprentices. It’s a culture of help, not competition.
