Our Team
“I’m so proud of the talented, welcoming team at Pixie. Our stylists work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and their creativity goes far beyond hair alone. They love collaborating, supporting one another, and creating a space where everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I hope you get to know each of them when you visit.” Jackie
Jackie Casey
Owner, Stylist
Hair has always been more than just a career for me—it’s been a passion and a constant part of my life for over 25 years. I fell in love with the creativity of hair and color and the way it can change how someone feels the moment they look in the mirror. Owning a salon was something I always dreamed about, even while working behind the chair and building relationships with clients I truly care about. When the opportunity came to purchase Pixie Hair Salon, it felt like the right moment to turn that dream into reality.
Stepping into ownership has been one of the most meaningful milestones of my career. I believe the most important part of what I do is listening, because every client has their own story and their own vision. My goal is always to create looks that feel authentic, wearable, and true to each person—not just what’s trending. Whether it’s a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, I love being part of that moment of confidence and self-expression.
Ashley
Senior Stylist, Ouidad Specialist
As every curly-haired girl knows, it takes specific care and attention to get the perfect look. Ashley was trained at Ouidad in NYC to tame the curl, enhance the curl, color the curl. She consistently consults with her clients, so they can work with their own natural attributes and get maximum results. Since joining us in January 2015, she’s constantly adding new skills to her repertoire—short razor cuts, taming thick, unruly hair and making sure your eyebrows look as amazing as your hair!
For an appointment with Ashley please call the salon at 518.512.3537.

Courtney
Senior Stylist
Courtney has been cutting hair since she was five! Granted she was using plastic scissors on her “client” aka dad but she was destined to become the accomplished stylist that she is. With over 16 years cutting hair in the Capital Region and training from New York City to London she’s a master at giving her clients a style and color that perfectly suits their lifestyle. From men’s and razor cuts to long flowing beach waves—and everything in between—there’s nothing she doesn’t put her creativity and passion into. We’re so thrilled that Courtney became part of our team at Pixie in 2017.
