About Salty Locks Sisters

The Salty Locks™ Sisters, Brittany Harrington and Amber Harrington Carraway have quickly become the most buzzed about and sought-after salon duo in the South. Though they do have a huge celebrity following, their clients would say they feel like a celebrity after leaving the Studio 285 experience.

With the combination of Brittany’s celebrated career as a renowned fusion hair stylist and Amber’s savvy business intuition, these sisters are taking their professional success and years of dedicated research to professional product creation with the debut of Salty Locks™ premium hair extensions created by stylists, for stylists. The heartbeat of the brand is based on a true passion and commitment to offer an ethically sourced product of the finest and highest quality. Their relentless love for their clients and a strong belief in the unparalleled service they provide is the driving force behind the brand. The Salty Locks™ Sister pride themselves on spreading positivity, love and confidence to everyone they meet because every woman deserves great hair.

Studio 285 is more than a hair studio. Its concept, look and feel is the Salty Locks Sisters'™ fantasy world of fun and tropical paradise brought to life. Leaving the salon with newly tousled, textured, beachy, bouncy tresses and an overwhelming sense of confidence is what being a Salty Locks™ Babe is all about!

Amber Harrington Carraway

Amber is co-founder of Salty Locks™ premium hair extensions and manages all operations of Studio 285. Her career began in nursing and corporate staff management. After several years, Amber decided it was time to pursue a Masters degree in Nursing, but her sister Brittany saw her beauty business mind and knew she was truly the yin to her creative yang.  After two years of Brittany’s never-ending begging, Amber quit her job and educational pursuits to join Studio 285 with goals to grow the brand with her sharp business acumen and strategic planning and together the Salty Locks™ Sisters surpassed every goal. 

In April 2014, Amber and her family suffered a devastating loss. Her 31-year-old husband passed away suddenly from an aortic aneurysm. Through her grief she found spiritual growth, as she embarked upon a European adventure to seek out answers and sort through her creative ideas and inspiration. Taking a leap of faith, she created the concept of Carraway Crossing and turned her passion into purpose. 

Three years in the making, Carraway Crossing would be a new all-inclusive shopping experience she and Brittany meticulously customized based on their brand visions for Studio 285 and to attract like-minded retail businesses.

Amber is known at Studio 285 for exuding positive energy and possessing an undeniable passion for their clientele. She is also a very talented airbrush tanning artist and has been an invaluable partner in creating the Salty Locks™ brand.

Amber graduated from Augusta State University with a BA in Sociology and a minor in Business.
