About

“I am a wife and mother of 3. My crew is my whole world! Born and raised in SoCal, but loving this life in the South!

I have been in the beauty industry for 4 1/2 years. I’m a firm believer in using the gifts God’s given us. I absolutely love what I do and I love people. I love having the opportunities to not only pamper ladies who sit in my chair, but also to be able to speak truth into them about their beauty. Brings me joy when they leave my chair feeling beautiful and confident.”

"Hey, lovelies! My name is Hailee. Doing what I love feels like a dream come true. Serving others through Christ is my mission and I get the opportunity to fulfill that mission every single day. What better way to serve others than by helping build confidence within individuals?! Also! Getting to work with the best team by my side here at AE Hair + Co makes it totally worth it!

"I read one time that when you become a stylist you turn into the person that you needed as a child ... I feel that embodies perfectly why I love what I do, the impact you can have on others. I love to spend time with my husband and our little girl. We raise cattle and rodeo on the weekends. Making the hair BIG and Blonde is probably my favorite thing!!"

"Hair is something I have always been passionate about, after receiving my bachelors degree from Lee University I decided it was time to pursue my dream job and combine social media with hair. I'm so excited to start my career at AE where you will either find me at my chair or the social media accounts!"

I'm the face behind Ashlea Brooke Photography. I’m a senior, couples, and family photographer, based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I service all the surrounding areas as well in East Tennessee and North Georgia!

First and foremost I'm a dog momma to the sweetest, most handsome 7 year old white boxer, named Banner and 1 year old sealed (black) boxer, named Barton. I have been with the love of my life, Brad, for a little over 14 years now, and I couldn't ask for a more supportive guy. He truly gets me, always my yes man to my craziest of ideas, helps with everything behind the scenes (literally), and honestly I'd be completely lost without him by my side.

I have had a love for Photography since I can remember! Ask anyone who really knows me and they’ll tell you it’s been my lifelong hobby, passion and dream! I got my first camera when I was just a kid and in high school really took an interest! In the midst of the craziest year I've ever experienced, 2020 led me to take that hobby a little further and I opened my very own business. I’ve really been able to focus more than ever on making it my full-time job, and I love it!
