Get to Know Ansley Dooley: From Emerging Artist to Stylist at Kate Kandel Salon

Posted by Ansley Dooley on

Ansley is a stylist at Kate Kandel Salon, known for her calm presence, genuine passion for her craft, and thoughtful approach to caring for her clients. Her foundation was shaped through Kate Kandel Salon’s Emerging Artist Program, where she developed her skills through advanced education and one-on-one mentorship that continue to influence her work behind the chair. 

Originally from Charleston, Ansley made the move to Greenville for a fresh start and quickly fell in love with the area’s slower pace and natural beauty. On weekends, she’s often exploring local trails, visiting the Blue Ridge Parkway, or discovering new corners of downtown Greenville. When she’s not outside, she enjoys painting, journaling, and relaxing at home with her two cats, Tux and Salem.

From the beginning of her career, Ansley has been drawn to a thoughtful, client-centered approach to hairstyling. She values creating an environment built on trust, open communication, and long-term hair goals. That foundation was further strengthened through Kate Kandel Salon’s Emerging Artist Program, where she worked closely with lead stylist BreAnna West to refine her technical skills and strengthen her consultation process, shaping the approach she brings to every client experience.

Ansley is intentional about how she connects with people and approaches each appointment with thoughtfulness and purpose. She takes time to understand what clients are looking for, both in the moment and in the long run. “It’s not just about one appointment,” she says. “It’s about creating a plan that supports where they want their hair to go.” With a calm presence and a genuine interest in making people feel understood, she creates personalized experiences that help clients feel confident and cared for.

Today, Ansley continues to grow her craft with curiosity, creativity, and care. Her goal is to build lasting relationships with her clients while delivering beautiful, personalized results that fit their lifestyle and long-term hair goals.
