Cara Hughes
Owner / Level 8 Stylist
Cara Tanner Hughes grew up in Mobile and earned her AA in Cosmetology at Bishop State College in 2001. “My father taught me the benefits of being self-employed. I admired his hard work and the pleasure he got from working with his hands. I have always liked making things – crafty stuff, sewing, projects. After high school, I knew that working with hair would be the perfect career for me. I love the creative aspect and the client relationships – nothing is more gratifying to me than helping my customers look and feel their best.”
Cara specializes in natural looking color and highlights. In order to stay at the top of her game, she has continued her education by frequently attending industry training seminars. Some of these include L’Oreal Academy of Color in New York City, a TIGI cutting class in Austin, and classes with celebrity stylist Nick Arrojo in various cities and in his New York City studio.
“Nick Arrojo has become my mentor. He taught me how to approach the art and the business of hair from both a practical and an artistic angle. It is so exciting to take his concepts about style and bring them to my clients here in Mobile.”
Cara is married to Keenan Hughes and they have three daughters. They have also been fostering since July of 2018 and enjoy getting the occasional little boy to shake things up a bit. When she isn’t thinking about hair and beauty, she is probably on her boat!

Having 2 parents who were both doctors, always put what was most important into perspective. But being an artistic child I couldn’t help but look at my Mothers beautiful grey hair as a canvas I wanted to paint. I feel being a stylist has given me the best of both worlds being able to express my creativity while enhancing my clients God given beauty!”

“I had been in school four years, for nursing and business, when I decided to go to hair school. It had always been a hobby of mine! When I made it my job, it quickly became my passion.”
One of Dalton’s favorite services to do is creative color. He loves giving his client a new outlook on themselves, simply by changing their hair color. Dalton is most inspired by his mom. “She worked 2 jobs to put food on the table as a single mom and never complained about it. She has always told me to be the best me I could be!”
In his downtime he likes to hangout with friends and coworkers. “I love to go to the beach, out to eat, and be adventurous.”

I was a competitive swimmer for ten years and now I do it as exercise and to help clear my mind. I’m a movie fanatic so I love to watch Netflix. I’m also very involved at my church, Mars Hill.
“My mom is my biggest inspiration. She went back to school to get her masters as a nurse practitioner while raising three girls and working as a nurse. Her hard work and dedication taught me to go the extra mile and work towards my goals. ‘You are only limited to the excuses that you make’.”
