owner & stylist

Olivia Blair Yeager

Hey there, I’m Olivia!

I'm a wife, dog mom, travel junkie, and self-proclaimed dessert enthusiast. My husband and I are passionate about exploring the world together—especially through food (we’re total foodies!). From rock climbing in the Tetons and hiking the Pacific Northwest to soaking up the sun in Hawaii and eating our way through southern Italy, we’re always chasing our next adventure. When I’m not on the go, I’m a certified homebody. I love nothing more than curling up with a good book or binge-watching my favorite shows with my dogs on the couch. If I weren’t a hairstylist, I’d probably be a travel and food blogger... or maybe even a storm chaser (or both!).
I’ve been in the hair industry since 2014 and have absolutely loved growing my business over the years. Behind the chair, my passion lies in blonding and extensions. My specialty? Creating lived-in, low-maintenance color that looks intentional and fresh—at every stage of grow-out. My goal is for you to never feel like you have to get your hair done, but rather that you want to, because it still looks amazing.
Extensions became a major focus of my business in 2018, and since then I’ve invested countless hours (and dollars!) into furthering my education in this area. My absolute favorite service is my 1-row hand-tied extensions—they make a big impact while staying easy to care for and low-maintenance.
I always knew I wanted to own a salon. Back in 2010, I went to college with a plan: get my business degree, then head to hair school and eventually open my own salon. And that’s exactly what I did! I studied at UCA and earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance. After graduation in 2014, my husband and I moved to Fayetteville, where I immediately enrolled at Paul Mitchell and started my journey behind the chair.
After 8 years of working as a stylist, I opened a salon suite and launched my assistant program. Within just two years, I grew to a team of five—and when the perfect opportunity came along to open a full salon, I jumped in with both feet. Salon Fifty Four was born in May 2023, and in less than two years, we've grown to a team of 18. I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such an amazing group of people and beyond grateful for all the clients who have been part of my journey.

I’m always accepting new clients and would love to have you in my chair! I offer color and extension appointments (no cut-only services), and you can book with me online, call the salon, or DM me on Instagram (@oliviablairyeager)—especially if you’re curious about extensions.

Looking forward to meeting you!
