OUR TEAM
With 13 years in the industry, Natalie founded Julep with a clear and long-standing vision: to create a salon environment that reflects a higher standard—both in experience and in the way stylists are supported. Her approach is rooted in the belief that a strong, valued team naturally elevates the work. Julep was designed to be a space where stylists can grow into their full potential while delivering thoughtful, refined service to every client. Natalie’s foundation behind the chair began with cutting, where she developed a reputation for precision and razor texture. Her work has since expanded into custom balayage and lived-in color, with a focus on hair that feels intentional, effortless, and tailored to the individual. As an owner, her standards are centered around care. Every client should feel heard, considered, and at ease—because when the experience is right, the result follows. Julep reflects that philosophy: a clean, elevated space with a calm, positive energy that is felt from the moment you walk in. Julep by Stovall Studios is a full-service salon located in Taylors, South Carolina, with a team of stylists offering a range of specialties to create personalized, intentional results for every guest. The experience is designed to feel seamless from start to finish—refined, welcoming, and tailored to you.
