MEET YOUR STYLIST

Like a haircut with a great friend

Rhonda Guffey, owner and stylist at Rhonda's Hair Design in Gastonia, NC

Rhonda Guffey

For over 30 years, Rhonda has been the steady hands and warm smile behind the chair in Gastonia. She's a licensed Cosmetologist and a Cosmetology Instructor at Gaston College — which means clients get a stylist who never stopped learning her craft.

Step inside and it feels like a blast from the past: Elvis on the wall, oldies on the radio, classic cars and a little bit of chrome. It's a place where shy kids leave smiling and folks have been coming back for 20+ years.

🏅 Honored with the Gaston County Citizen Award by the mayor for giving free haircuts to first responders, police, fire and EMS in memory of 9/11.

📖🎵 Beyond the chair, Rhonda is also a published author and songwriter. Check out her book Protect Your Future & Be Blessed and her music on Amazon.

"She is clothed with strength and dignity." — Proverbs 31:25
