Lived-in color, blondes and extensions, one guest at a time, steps from the square in Gainesville.
Astoria is Tori's salon on Washington Street: a one-on-one chair where you feel seen, heard and celebrated, and now a home for independent beauty pros in our private suites.

Suite A-9 · 604 Washington St NW



Hey there, I'm Tori.
I'm a Master Cosmetologist specializing in lived-in color, blondes, brunettes, and my personal favorite… extensions. With over five years behind the chair, I've dedicated my craft to creating effortless, confidence-boosting looks in a space where you feel at home.
In August 2024, I opened Astoria Hair Studio just steps away from the square in Gainesville. Now Astoria Salon & Suites shares our home at 604 Washington St. NW, a dream that's turning into something so much bigger than myself.
Astoria was built with love and purpose: to give every guest a one-on-one, deeply personal experience where you feel seen, heard, and celebrated. This isn't just a salon. It's a space where we share stories, pray together, lift each other up, and build real connections. Every appointment is a moment to breathe, be yourself, and know you're loved.
Faith is at the heart of everything I do, and I'm grateful to be able to include God in each day behind the chair.
When I'm not in the salon, you'll find me enjoying life with my husband, my son and bonus boys, or loving on our three pups: a Golden Doodle, a Frenchie, and a sweet rescue Terrier.
I can't wait to meet you, welcome you into the Astoria family, and give you your dream hair!
XO, Tori

“Tori has been doing my extensions for 3+ years now. I was doing all tape in extensions before but she introduced me to the Bellami weft which has allowed my natural hair to grow and strengthen. She is an expert with extensions and I drive from Atlanta to see her because I know I can completely trust her with my hair.”
“Update - I ordered new extensions from Tori’s line (wefts and custom tape-ins) and she did my highlights and lowlights to match perfectly ❤️. I also LOVE the custom tape-ins. The longer pieces blend so much better and she was able to cut the pieces to be the perfect lengths. I am loving my new look.”

Kind words from the chair


“Tori has been my hairdresser for approximately three years. She is absolutely incredible. She’s not only the best hairdresser I’ve ever known, she is also kind, vivacious and incredibly talented. Over the years, she has become a very good friend of mine as well as her family. She also does my daughter’s hair, and stepdaughter and everyone in my office. Top notch the BEST!”
