Founded in 2015 by longtime Warrenton residents and business owners Mary Lieb and Lanny Cornwell, Iva Bella Salon was built on a foundation of creativity, excellence, and family. Leaning into the industry expertise of Lanny’s brother, James Cornwell, the salon was envisioned from day one to be a premier destination for luxury hair care. Following six years of remarkable success, ownership transitioned to James Cornwell and Melissa Russell, who continue to infuse the space with unmatched inspiration, passion, and artistic vision.

​

The name Iva Bella holds a special meaning near to our hearts. James and Lanny’s mother is named Iva, and they wanted to dedicate a piece of the salon's legacy to her. Combined, the name beautifully translates from Greek to mean "Life Beautiful"—a philosophy that serves as our guiding promise to deliver an exceptional, uplifting experience during every single visit.
