Meet the HiLightz team

HiLightz Salon is a hidden gem located in back of the RE/MAX shopping center, on the corner of Tucker Rd. and Valley Blvd. in Tehachapi.

Stylist Karen Thomas recently took over as owner of the salon when the original owner, Lois Aldridge, retired. Karen has worked at the salon with Lois for several years, and was excited to take on the challenge.

HiLightz Salon wants everyone to leave feeling good about themselves. With over 80 combined years of experience this salon really knows how to treat their clients for the maximum "salon experience".

Some "team members" are "old faces" while others are new, but all are experienced and eager to brighten your day:
