Who we are

Marcella Cooper 423-836-0963 With an incredible 44 years as a licensed cosmetologist, 6 years as an instructor, and 42 years as a successful salon owner, she has dedicated her life to the beauty industry and to helping others grow within it. Her passion lies not only in creating beautiful hair, but in education, mentorship, and the long-term health of her clients’ hair and scalp. She holds advanced certifications in Matrix, Joico, and Redken color systems, Keratin Complex straightening treatments, and is a certified specialist in both Surface and Milbon head spa therapies, focusing on hair loss, thinning hair, and overall scalp wellness.

As a salon owner and educator, she believes in continuous learning, quality service, and building genuine relationships with her clients and students. Her career has been driven by a love for the craft and a commitment to staying current in an ever-evolving industry, while also honoring the fundamentals that create lasting results.

Outside of the salon, she treasures time with her family—especially her grandchildren—and can often be found cheering at sporting events rather than watching TV. She is an avid reader, enjoys staying active, and loves spending time with her loyal dog, Abby. Her life is a balance of family, passion, education, and purpose, all of which she brings into everything she does.

Teresa Lashley 423-836-1591 Salon Owner with 35 years of experience and a licensed Cosmetologist for 42 years, bringing a lifetime of knowledge, skill, and passion to the beauty industry. Keratin Certified and Head Spa Certified, she specializes in healthy hair, scalp care, and transformative services that help clients look and feel their absolute best.

Known for her warm personality and attention to detail, she genuinely loves working with people and creating an environment where clients feel relaxed, valued, and understood. Her salon is more than a workplace—it’s a space built on trust, connection, and care.

Outside the salon, she loves her family dearly, cherishing time spent together. She enjoys playing pool, unwinding with friendly competition, and is a natural people watcher, finding inspiration and joy in observing everyday moments and human connections. Her life and career are rooted in experience, heart, and a deep appreciation for both beauty and people.
