JusTeazin welcomes new stylist

As JusTeazin’ celebrates its one-year anniversary in Highland, owner Shannon Hogg said she is excited to announce the addition of Chloe Dannels to the salon.

Dannels comes from Studio Renaissance in Edwardsville. She is looking to expand her personal business, and when she met Hogg at an event they “just clicked.”

“Chloe is a perfect addition to JusTeazin’. Her style and work ethic aligns with my company’s values and we’re lucky to have her talent joining our team,” said Hogg.

Dannels is very involved with Mount Olive Tree Family Church, where she teaches children’s church. She has a 10-month-old, Memphis, who keeps her on her toes. When asked what she was looking forward to at in her new job, Dannels said, “Immersing myself in Highland and getting to know the community better.”

“I love helping women feel better about themselves by sprucing up their hair color or giving them a new cut. I can’t wait to get to know new clients who hopefully will become friends,” she said.

Dannels accepts appointments Wednesday through Sunday.

JusTeazin’ is a beauty, cosmetic and personal care salon located at 818 Main St. in Highland.
