Get to know me

Hi! I'm Abbey Walton! I am a hairstylist born and raised in North Carolina. I graduated high school in Garner, NC in 2014. I did not have a set in stone plan of what I had envisioned for my future. Especially in the career department. I did have one hope for my future, I dreamt of a life where I could wake up everyday and look forward to the "work" ahead of me. I knew the beauty industry was something I always found passion and interest in but hadn't been taught of all the opportunity and freedom one could fine in it. I moved to Wilmington, NC where I attended Cape Fear Community College to pursue a degree in Accounting and Business Management. I quickly learned that avenue was not something that was going to serve me well in my dream of adoring the work I do daily. I moved back to Raleigh the following year and enrolled at Mitchells Hair styling Academy where I began to see all the possibilities I would have as a stylist. I fell in love with the relationships I could build with people, the ability to bring joy and happiness to people through my work, and make an impact (no matter how big or small) on the world around me.  I established Shears to You! in October of 2019. After spending the first four years of my career working at a salon in Raleigh, developing and curating my talent, I decided it was time to begin embarking on a new chapter of creating a life where I feel free, expressive, creative, and empowered. I hope to deliver to you an experience where you feel comfortable, relaxed, and leave feeling more beautiful than ever. Outside of the salon you can find me at the beach, working out (found a passion for fitness along the way and got my certification as a Personal Trainer) or just hanging out with my Golden Retriever, Sonny, and kitty cat, Boots, and watching junk reality shows! Cheers to doing what we love, and of course Shears to You!
