Salon Owner / Stylist
Ashley
Ashley is one of the owners of HŪE and has been in the industry for over 10 years. She and Janet started this journey to make their community feel more beautiful and empower others along the way. Her biggest professional inspiration would have to be her mother, Becky Keenan. Becky has always worked extremely hard with passion and integrity. Not only is her mother a successful business owner, but she is also an amazing artist. You can find her mother’s artwork hanging on the walls of HŪE whenever you visit. When Ashley is not behind the chair, you can find her relaxing at home with her fur babies and family. Her favorite quote to live by is “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” ~Albert Einstein
Salon Owner / Stylist
Janet
Janet is one of the owners at HŪE. She began her career in 2000 in Long Island, and moved to Charlotte in 2007. Her favorite thing about being a hairstylist is that she gets to make people feel good and helps then feel more confident and empowered everyday! Janet’s favorite quote is, “life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
Stylist
Dana
Dana has been with HŪE since it opened in 2017. Her journey with HŪE started when the lovely owners decided to open a salon and start their dream and journey as a women owned business. Dana is honored to be apart of that journey. She doesn’t like to label herself with a “specialty” when it comes to services, because she feels that she is a “hair and beauty specialist”. She enjoys every aspect of salon services and loves doing it all! That is one reason why she decided to get her cosmetology licenses; she didn’t want to be limited to just one thing. Over the years of being at HŪE, continuing education has also been, not only a passion for the salon company, but also a passion she holds very dear to her heart. In 2019 she became a L’Oréal Professional Series Expert and Color Ambassador.
Stylist
Codi
Codi’s biggest professional inspirations in the industry are Jacob Khan and Larisa Love, both of whom spend a lot of time working on educating the industry. She thinks it’s really important to share what you know to continue to grow our industry. When Codi is not behind the chair, she loves spending time with her dog, Goose. She loves cuddling and playing ball outside when the weather is nice. She also try’s to stay active by working out a few times a week.
Stylist
Emma
Emma has been in the industry for 15 years. She moved here from Long Island, NY where she was behind the chair before taking some time to stay home with her two beautiful children and now she is back and more talented than ever. One thing that continues to drive her is being able to create a canvas of the guests inner beauty and display it for the world to see. Her favorite quote is “Always be a first rate version of yourself, instead of the second rate version of somebody else.” ~ Judy Garland
Stylist
Kendall
Kendall has been with HŪE since 2021. Her journey started with us as our support staff, but she is now fulfilling her dream behind the chair. She loves this industry because it gives her purpose and enables her to fulfill her passion to make people feel and look their best. It’s craft that she continues to perfect daily. Her favorite quote is “Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game” from the movie ‘Cinderella Story’. Her favorite person is her grandmother, she calls her Moonie. Her Moonie (grandmother) was also a hairstylist & she would love nothing more than to follow in her footsteps. She cheers her on and has shown Kendall the true definition of unconditional love. 🤍 Kendall loves being outdoors, finding a nice patio with live music, spending time her son, Maverick & her honey, Quinnton. She also loves tattoos, loud music, and anything that gets her adrenaline pumping!

Her favorite quote is: “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again”.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald
