Welcome to 74 Mane Salon
More than great hair. A place where you belong.
Our Story
Where a Little Magic Meets Meaning
At 74 Mane, we believe there is something special about helping people feel like the best version of themselves.
Inspired by the wonder of fairies, unicorns, and mermaids, we have created a salon experience rooted in creativity, self expression, and authenticity. While the magic may look different for everyone, our purpose remains the same. We want every guest to leave feeling confident, cared for, and completely themselves.
Our salon has deep roots in the Clyde community. Originally established in 1945 as Bud Green's Barber Shop, this beloved space has served generations of families. In 2017, Kristen Rogers purchased this hidden gem with a dream of creating a salon where both guests and stylists could thrive.
When Hurricane Helene temporarily closed our original location at 74 Main Street, we embraced a new chapter at 70 Main Street. Through every season of growth and change, our commitment to serving this community has remained the same.
Today, 74 Mane is more than a salon. It is a place where artistry, education, and genuine connection come together to create meaningful experiences for every person who walks through our doors.
OUR VISION
To become Western North Carolina's most trusted destination for curls, blondes, extensions, vivids, and bridal beauty while always protecting the integrity and health of our guests' hair.
OUR MISSION
To elevate the salon experience through exceptional care, continued education, and innovative techniques that empower every guest to feel confident, capable, and completely themselves.

Meet Kristen
Hi, I'm Kristen.
With more than ten years behind the chair, my greatest passion has always been helping people feel seen, cared for, and confident in who they are. I believe great hair starts with genuine connection and love getting to know each person who sits in my chair.
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, raised in Farmerville, Louisiana, and proud to call Western North Carolina home, my Southern roots run deep. I'm fueled by sweet tea, meaningful conversations, and plenty of laughter.
When I'm not in the salon, you'll usually find me spending time with my high school sweetheart, our blended family, and making memories with the people I love most.
Above all else, I promise honesty, care, and respect for your hair's health. I'll always be transparent about what's possible, work intentionally to bring your vision to life, and stand behind our work with a seven day guarantee.
I can't wait to welcome you into my chair or help you find the perfect stylist on our team.
