The Upper Room Salon
It all began with a prayer. Established in June 2020 we stepped out in faith and opened our doors. With so many wonderful and loyal clients the Upper Room Salon was able to thrive and ultimately grow despite such uncertain times. We believe in being more than a salon, we are family, and the Lords ministry.

Shanna Scali
Shanna is born and raised on the Emerald Coast. After completion of cosmetology school, Shanna started out doing hair in a walk-in Salon, where she grew clientele, which also gave her lots of experience with different hair types, textures, color for both men, women and children. Keeping up with today’s trends, Shanna can do all types of haircuts & styles.
Shanna knew that God had a calling on her life, & it was to open up a Salon, & call it The Upper Room. In 2020, the Salon opened during a difficult season but God was orchestrating it all. And today, This salon is her ministry where she gets to have the opportunity to share the gospel and have encouraging conversations while doing hair!
Which is so important because it’s more than just your hair we care about, we care about you!!

Nancy Weddington
Hi, my name's Nancy Weddington. I'm a Panhandle native and have been lucky to spend the last 15 years here following my passion. I love helping people feel fantastic about their hair. I love everything about the process - cutting, coloring, styling, beach waves, and updos. I love getting to know my clients! Building relationships & friendships is an important part of my job.
I believe that hair should be fun so I make sure to listen well so that I understand what your likes and dislikes are, & in return the client should feel at ease & enjoy the process too!
Our inner and outer beauty should be embraced every day. My goal is to do just that for you while you are in my chair!
So, whether you're visiting or living on the Gulf Coast, you're in one of the most beautiful places in the world. So let's enjoy!

I also have a passion for color, I have been training for many years in all things color & work well with blondes, vibrant reds and vivid colors. Doing haircolor really is my passion, here is where the creativity that Papa God put inside me really comes out.
