The Crew, family
Macy Smykal
Owner & Co-FounderFrom a young age, Macy has always been drawn to making others feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident in their own skin. What began as a love for creativity and makeup grew into a bigger vision — creating more than just a salon, but a true home for both clients and stylists.
Aura was built on warmth, intention, and connection. It’s a space meant to feel different — welcoming, creative, and calm — where artists can collaborate and clients feel heard & cared for. Macy wants to inspire others to express themselves freely and embrace their true, authentic selves.
Macy approaches her work with intention and care, paying close attention to each client’s experience from start to finish. Her favorite moments are seeing clients light up at the end of a service — feeling confident, supported, and genuinely taken care of.
Her mission is simple: that everyone who walks into Aura feels at home — and leaves feeling even better than when they arrived.
Macy’s favorite quote,
“Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.” — Dr. Seuss
