Irvin Roberts Salon

I’m your girl.
I was a master back then and still got it.

I’m reaching out to my Irvin Roberts Salon family today.

For the past 17 years, you’ve generously supported so many causes, charities, and families that I’ve brought to you. Today, I’m asking for your help again—and this one hits especially close to home.

One of my longtime clients, someone I’ve had the privilege of knowing for more than 17 years, lost her home in a sudden pop-up storm last month. She and her family lost essentially everything they owned, except for the clothes they were wearing that day.

I’m sharing their GoFundMe in hopes that we can surround this local family with a little love and support while they begin the overwhelming process of rebuilding their lives.

If you feel led to donate, please know that your kindness is helping a family right here in our own community—just down the road from us. And if donating isn’t possible, simply sharing their story can help too.

Thank you, as always, for the way you show up for others. It means more than you know.

The Story Behind Irvin Roberts Salon

I realized recently that after all these years, some of you may not actually know where the name Irvin Roberts Salon came from—or how this whole journey started.

My love for the salon world began long before I ever held a pair of shears.

My aunt was a hairdresser and had a salon in her home. My mom and I would visit, often helping take care of my brand-new baby cousin while we were there. I was almost 5 years old at the time. If I heard something happening in the salon—or caught a whiff of what I now know was a perm 😂—I knew something fun was going on, and I wanted to see it.

As I got a little older, my mom and I would go to Fusion Hair Salon. She would have her nails done with Brenda, and we would have our hair done by Frank. I loved watching all of the salon professionals work. They were confident, creative, stylish and seemed to shine in a way that, to me, only really cool hairdressers could.

I was hooked.

By the time I entered high school, I already knew what I wanted to do. I began cosmetology at the Career Center, graduated, transferred to Hairstylist Academy, became licensed and started my career at just 18 years old.

My first job was assisting the two owners of Cheveux Hair Salon. Looking back, they taught that very young hairstylist so much more than hair. I learned how to communicate with people, how to take care of clients and how to begin building a business.

Later, I joined Curtis Bischer’s salon, where color became my focus and education became a priority. That part of my career helped shape the colorist I am today.

Eventually, I was ready for more independence. I spent nine years as a booth renter at Visual Changes in Clemmons. I learned how to truly be an independent stylist there—and, if I’m being truthful, I did a whole lot of growing up there too.

Then came 2009.

It was time to take the biggest leap yet and become a salon owner.

When I began thinking about a name, I knew I wanted it to mean something. I asked my grandmother for permission to use my grandfather’s name, and she said yes.

I combined the names of two of the most important men in my life: my grandfather’s middle name, Irvin, and my father’s first name, Roberts.

And Irvin Roberts Salon was born.

For our first 12 years, we were fortunate enough to call a beautiful historic home in Clemmons our salon home, right in front of Animal Ark Veterinary Hospital. During those years, I had the privilege of building the most incredible dream team of stylists and an amazing salon manager. I loved that chapter and the people who were part of it more than I could ever put into words.

Then the pandemic came, life changed, and eventually we all spread our wings and landed where we were supposed to be.

Mine brought me home to Lewisville.

Today, Irvin Roberts Salon looks different than it did in 2009. It’s smaller. More intimate. It’s me, my clients, my little space and a community I genuinely love being part of.

But the heart behind the name hasn’t changed.

Thirty years into doing hair, it is still my first love. I still love learning. I still love creating. I still love the relationships built behind the chair. And somehow, after all these years, I still genuinely love going to work every day.

That little girl following the smell of a perm into her aunt’s home salon had absolutely no idea where it would lead her.

I’m really glad she followed it.
