Michaela Payne, Esthetician – Southern Strandz Salon and Spa
You could say entertainment runs in Michaela’s blood as her dad was entertain-ing this community as a singer at Dollywood long before she was born. She is excited to have an opportunity to entertain this community for a good cause, even if her roots don’t run quite as deep in dancing as it does singing!
Michaela and her family love being involved in the community and, when her mother opened her salon, Southern Strandz Salon, 10 years ago, she made it part of her mission to give back to the community as much as they could. Four years later Michaela joined the business as a licensed Esthetician and rebranded the business to Southern Strandz Salon and Spa. She shares that they are dedicated to making their business feel like a family and radiating kindness and customer service to their guests.
Michaela has been married to her high school best friend, Peyton, for 7 years and together they have 2 babies, Dawson (5) and Charleigh Myke (3).
She states, “Together we love to be on our farm with our animals, camping, and taking weekend trips to see new places. I can’t wait for this new adventure!”
