Well hello, I'm
Amy Chaves,
Key to Beauty Owner
My name is Amy, a professional hairstylist with a passion for crafting hairstyles that reflect the unique beauty of each individual. With over 25 years of experience behind the chair, I’ve had the pleasure of working with diverse hair types, textures and styles, ranging from everyday cuts to intricate bridal updos. I believe in the power of great hair–”it’s not just about looking good but feeling your best!”
My approach to hairstyling is all about collaboration. I work closely with each client to understand their lifestyle, personal style, & the look they want to achieve. Whether it’s a fresh
cut, a stunning color transformation, or special event styling, my goal is to create a look that enhances your natural beauty.
Hair is my canvas, and everyday I strive to create styles that are not only fashionable but tailored specifically to you.​
About Key to Beauty
As a salon owner, I’m proud to lead a team of highly trained & talented stylists & estheticians who are passionate about “beauty” as I am. We stay ahead of industry trends through ongoing education so we can offer the latest & best techniques to our clients.
I came up with the name of the salon because I am proud of my Azorean Heritage & I am a family-oriented individual, and I wanted my last name to be included in my business name. In English, my last name translates to 'keys,' which inspired me to incorporate that element into my logo.
Born and raised in Taunton, and I have lived here my entire life. When I opened my salon, one of my primary goals was to give back to the community, particularly during the holiday season. We aim to give back during holiday season. We’ve worked with several organizations with the help of our clients to give back to local families especially during the holidays.
Our “lounge” is designed to be an oasis where you can escape, relax, and enjoy a pampering experience. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel welcomed, and we’ll make sure every visit leaves you feeling refreshed & beautiful
At Key to Beauty, we use only the best products in the industry with clean, quality, & more natural ingredients. Ensuring your hair & skin look its best while maintaining its natural health. We believe in delivering not only beautiful hair & skin but also exceptional customer service that exceeds your expectations.

Hello! My name is Mckenzie, and I am thrilled to be a part of the amazing team at Key to Beauty. With over four years of experience as a hairdresser, my passion for helping people look and feel their best has been a driving force in my career. From a young age, I have enjoyed doing my friends' and family's hair, which naturally led me to pursue this profession.
I specialize in blonding and extensions, and I am proud to be Bellami certified in every type of extension as well as Hello Darling Invisible weft certified. Additionally, I hold certifications in curly hair with Surface, Blonding certifications with Masters of Balayage, and keratin treatments with Keratin Complex. These skills allow me to offer a wide range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
What I love most about being a hairdresser is the opportunity to meet new people and build meaningful connections with my clients. Helping them achieve their hair goals and seeing their confidence soar is incredibly rewarding. I am always eager to stay updated with the latest trends and techniques by following social media and continuously learning. I'm always excited to try new things and bring fresh ideas to my clients.
In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, going on hikes with my wife and our two dogs, reading, and traveling with my little family. These activities help me recharge and stay inspired.
At Key to Beauty, my goal is to help you achieve your hair dreams while maintaining the utmost health of your hair. I am excited about this new opportunity and look forward to meeting many new faces and continuing the wonderful relationships I've built with my previous clients.
