OUR STYLISTS
Lacee Widdison
Owner & Founder
Lacee’s longing for a better salon experience for her guests as well as the stylists inspired Maven Loft Salon over 5 ½ years ago. Her ultimate goal is for guests to have a welcoming, relaxing and luxurious salon experience.
With over 13 years in the salon business, she has received education from some of the industry’s top educators. Her favorite part of being a hairstylist is the connections she makes with her clients, and seeing them leave with a boost of confidence. Fine/thin hair is an area of expertise with Lacee, having struggled with thin hair herself. She has a passion for showing women with thinning hair, their potential with styling techniques, products and the magic of extensions.

Hi, I’m Sierra—your go-to gal for all things blonde, lived-in, and dimensional. I love my career as a hairstylist, my obsession started way back in high school—so this is truly my dream job! I’m Boise born and raised, and when I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me hanging with my Shih Tzu—Boomer, coffee in hand, exploring cute spots with my boyfriend, Marco. I can’t wait to have your pretty face in my chair!

Abigail Cook
Hi, I’m Abby, your future favorite hairstylist! Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been super creative and a total chatterbox, so becoming a hairstylist felt like the perfect fit. I’m passionate about all things hair and the meaningful connections I get to build with each client in my chair. My specialties include blonding, lived-in color, and custom cuts that bring out your natural beauty and style. A little about me- I’m a proud Idaho native, a cat mom to three, and completely obsessed with Diet Coke! I cant wait to have you in my chair and help you feel more authentically you!
Hannah Bohanan
As a second-generation hairstylist, I've spent my summers in salons. I grew up hanging out in my aunt's salon, chatting with clients about life's ups and downs. When my mom started her hairstyling career, it truly lit up her world, and I knew that this was the path I wanted to follow. With my knack for conversation and learning from my aunt and mom, it was clear that hairstyling was my calling. I’m passionate about creating not just stunning hairstyles, but also lasting relationships with my clients. I understand that a hair appointment can be more than just a service; it’s a chance to unwind, find a safe space, even just feel like yourself again or to reinvent your look! I’m here to help you with all of that. Let me become your new favorite hairstylist. When I’m not at the salon, you’ll probably find me spending time with my husband, dog, and two cats, enjoying a movie night at home. I also love exploring Boise—my new home after moving from Las Vegas—whether it’s grabbing coffee, book shopping, or hiking. I’m all about reading and anything artsy. Let’s connect soon for great conversation and even better hair!
Samantha Newby
Hi, my name is Samantha, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your hair! Hair has always been a passion of mine, and a few years ago I made the exciting decision to leave the medical field to pursue my true dream—cosmetology. I come from a big family and now share a blended family with my amazing husband, Alan. Together, we have wonderful children who keep us busy, along with our three playful puppies. Even with a full house, I always make time to help my clients feel confident, beautiful, and excited about their hair. Whether you’re looking for a fresh cut, a color transformation, or simply some self-care time in the chair, I’m here to make your hair dreams come true.
