Amber Lord
Stylist, Owner
For nearly two decades, stylist and salon owner Amber Lord has been redefining what it means to deliver a truly luxury salon experience. From her first salon at just 21 years old to leading the thriving, trend-setting Haus of Locks in Ocean Springs, she has built her career on passion, precision, and a deep commitment to her clients and community.
Lord’s artistry recently earned international recognition, placing Top 100 in four categories—Hair Extensions, Blondes, Brunette, and Collaboration—at the Behind the Chair One Shot Hair Awards, the largest and most prestigious competition in the global hair industry. “It’s such an honor,” she says. “To be recognized alongside so many talented artists from around the world is truly a dream come true.”
Under her leadership, Haus of Locks has grown into a destination salon known for expert color transformations, seamless extensions, and an unmatched luxury experience. Every detail—from the carefully
curated environment to the hand-selected products—is designed to make clients feel as incredible as they look.
Her commitment goes beyond the chair.
She is passionate about educating stylists and
mentoring the next generation, sharing her
knowledge to help others grow both creatively
and professionally. Her own extension line, Haus of Locks Luxury Extensions, continues to evolve with the highest quality standards in the industry, supporting stylists with products they can trust.
“Hair is more than beauty,” Lord says. “It’s confidence, it’s self-expression, and it’s a way to connect with people on a deeper level. I’m grateful every day that I get to do what I love while serving the people and community that mean so much to me.”
With a growing team, an expanding product line, and a heart for giving back, Amber Lord and Haus of Locks show no signs of slowing down—proving that when passion meets purpose, the possibilities are endless.
