Tangela Snead is a salon owner in the hair business who has operated her own salon since 1994 in Georgia. She has always had a passion for hair, starting from childhood when she was the person in the neighborhood others came to for styling. As a business owner, Tangela has focused on creating a safe space for clients and especially children, offering services without charge when needed and hosting events like sleepovers and pamper parties. She has served as a mentor to young people, providing guidance on career choices in the hair industry and beyond, often acting as a mother figure and advisor.

She values sowing seeds into others to help them succeed and being a go-to person who connects people with resources. Her advice to those entering the industry includes being authentic, avoiding following the crowd, pursuing barbering school to become a double threat, treating clients with respect, and recognizing that every client serves as a billboard for the business.
