Fern & Ivy came together in early 2020 when Brittani McLiverty & Andrea Todd, Co-Owners of the Hair Salon, decided to join forces and open the concept together. The salon will offer hair services including cut, color, & certified luxury extensions.

Fern & Ivy’s goal is to exceed their guest’s expectations with outstanding salon services while also making you feel among friends. “We want our clients to enjoy a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere while still receiving the best care for their hair,” said Brittani McLiverty, Co-Owner of Fern & Ivy. “We are committed to creating a culture that is filled with positive energy & inviting space. We believe in great hospitality and we are building a space that will deliver on that.” Fern & Ivy plans to focus on training & education when they begin to hire team members. Construction is set to begin immediately. Fern & Ivy is set to open in Q4 2020.

“Madison Corners had the vibe we were looking for,” said Andrea Todd, Co-Owner of Fern & Ivy. “We love the Madison Park neighborhood & are excited to be bringing in the first high-end salon to compliment it! We look forward to meeting our new neighbors!”

“We are thrilled to have Fern & Ivy choose Madison Corners for their new Salon,”
said William Hodges of New Forum. “This is the ideal tenant we envisioned when we upgraded the property and are excited they chose to bring this fantastic service and experience to the Madison Park community.”
