Stephanie McManus

Owner/Stylist/Extension Specialist

With nearly 30 years behind the chair, Stephanie McManus is the owner of Shear Grace Salon and a hairstylist specializing in hair extensions, thinning-hair solutions, dimensional color, and grey coverage.

After experiencing changes in her own hair density, Stephanie developed a deeper passion for helping women navigate fine, thinning, and hair-loss concerns. She understands how personal changes in your hair can feel and believes every guest deserves honest guidance about what is realistically possible for their hair.

Stephanie takes a personalized approach to each guest, looking at natural hair density, areas of thinning, lifestyle, maintenance expectations, and desired results before recommending a solution. With advanced training in multiple extension methods, hair toppers, closures, and mesh integration, she is able to offer options ranging from added fullness and length to more advanced cosmetic hair-loss solutions.

One thing guests can always expect from Stephanie is honesty and transparency. If she doesn't believe a particular service is right for your hair, she'll tell you and help you explore a better option.

As the owner of Shear Grace Salon in Benton, Arkansas, Stephanie is also passionate about education and mentoring the next generation of stylists while continuing to bring advanced hair extension and thinning-hair solutions to women throughout Central Arkansas.
