There’s a new stylist in town and she has set up shop at New You Hair Salon in Maynardville. Tonia Harrison is the newest stylist to join owner Vickie Burkhart’s crew. She has come all the way from Florida, where she was a stylist for 16 years, part of the time as a shop owner.
Earlier this year, Tonia and her husband made the decision to move to Tennessee to be closer to family. The couple has family residing in Union County and Polk County, so they had the tough choice of choosing a new hometown. The wonderful tight-knit community of Union County won their hearts, so they packed up and left Florida. Tonia, however, left behind her salon, Pretty Bird Hair.
Despite leaving behind her beloved salon and clientele, Tonia brought her talent and years of experience as a stylist with her to Maynardville. Burkhart was eager to add such a skilled stylist to her shop. Although Tonia does everything from trims, haircuts and styling to makeup, her specialty is color. If you are looking to change up your locks or add some highlights, Tonia is the stylist for you.
If you are heading into 2023 with a “New Year, New You” mindset, Tonia is happy to book you an appointment and make sure you feel more beautiful than a “pretty bird.” As a stylist and Christian, Tonia’s passion for styling is rooted in Mathew 6:26. “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”
This scripture holds special meaning for Tonia and she has made it her mission as a stylist to ensure that all of her clients leave her chair feeling beautiful. She aims to remind them that they are more valuable than the “pretty birds” of the air by using the talent that God gave her to help make the outside look as beautiful as the inside.
New You Hair Salon is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Holiday hours may vary.) They offer cuts, styling, and make-overs. Call (865) 992-1508 today to set up an appointment or book an appointment via Facebook Messenger. The salon is located next to Rustic Re-do on Highway 33 at 2915 Maynardville Hwy. in Maynardville.
