Hi there, I’m Whitley! Born and raised right here in Chattanooga, I’m currently growing my craft as an apprentice at The Strand. I’m a self-described "people pleaser," which in the salon world means I am completely dedicated to your comfort and making sure you feel taken care of from the moment you walk in. I particularly enjoy the art of the bouncy blowout and creating haircuts with movement. On the color side, I love working with dimensional balayage for a sun-kissed look and experimenting with bold, vivid color.

When I’m away from the salon, I’m a total sports fanatic. You’ll definitely hear me shouting "Go Rocky Top!" during football season, as I’m a huge Tennessee Vols fan. My husband and I are on a mission to hit at least one major sporting event every year, whether it’s an SEC matchup, an NFL game, or sitting courtside at the NBA. I love the strategy behind a good game, and I’ve been known to keep a close eye on the point spreads, so if you want to talk gameday stats or parlay picks while we’re at the salon, I’m your girl.
