Ansley brings warmth, creativity, and a thoughtful approach to her work as a stylist. Her foundation was shaped through Kate Kandel Salon’s Emerging Artist Program, where she refined her techniques through advanced education and one-on-one mentorship. Today, she’s passionate about creating styles that reflect who her clients are and helping them feel like the best version of themselves - whether they’re looking for a subtle refresh or a complete transformation. She values open communication and takes the time during each consultation to understand her clients’ hair goals and create a plan to achieve them.
Originally from Charleston and now loving life in Greenville, Ansley feels most at home outdoors. Whether she’s spending a day at the beach, hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or exploring downtown Greenville, she loves being outside. Having grown up near the coast, she loves that Kate Kandel Salon overlooks the Reedy River in downtown Greenville, especially since she’s happiest anywhere near water. When she’s not outside, she enjoys painting, journaling, and relaxing at home with her two cats, Tux and Salem.
Ansley is committed to creating an experience that feels comfortable, intentional, and personalized for every client who sits in her chair while building lasting relationships through thoughtful care and beautiful, customized results.
I’ve always been drawn to beauty and the way small changes can make someone feel more confident. Even from a young age, I found myself noticing people’s features and thinking about how to enhance what was already there - not to change them, but to bring out their best. That mindset has stuck with me, and becoming a hairstylist felt like a natural way to turn that instinct into something meaningful.
I hope they feel like the best version of themselves - refreshed, confident, and happy. Whether they feel like a whole new person or just a more polished version of who they already are, I want them to feel good walking out that door.
I’d bring the Curl-Defining Whip by Virtue Labs. Because let’s be real - if I’m stuck on an island, I’m not going to have a blow dryer or curling iron. So I’d want something that’s versatile. The Curl Whip is great for air drying, but also works if you do have heat. Plus, it helps with frizz, so it’s like killing two birds with one stone.
