Who We Are
Our Story
In 2015, a few years after graduating from high school and cosmetology school, and after lots of prayerful consideration, owner Chancey Stone Gallimore and her husband purchased a charming little downtown original home, transforming it into an inviting salon and spa.
Here at Bella Blythe Salon and Spa, we have something really unique and special within our walls. The rooms of our salon and spa are individualized, offering the utmost relaxation. Throughout the salon, you’ll find four hairstyling rooms, three shampoo areas, our team room, two newly renovated restrooms, our break room, color, and our newly added spa!
After opening the salon in 2015, we found that we needed to accommodate our growing business and offer our clients even more. So, we grew again, and that’s when we transformed the backside of our charming home into the spa. We work very hard to ensure that you get an awesome experience with massage, waxing, facials, treatments, permanent brow design, and much more.
Our mission is to be up to date on all the latest trends, carry all of the best products in the industry, and strive to be better than we were yesterday. Our goal is to have ALL of our clients LOVE their reflection EVERY DAY! We aim to have an inviting, relaxing, and respectful relationship with every one of our clients and develop the utmost trust from all.
The History of Our Location...
In 1923, following the death of her husband Samuel, Sarah Spainhour Slate built the 210 East Dalton house for herself and her daughter, Katharine Viola (Ola). They lived together in their new home until 1928 after Sarah passed away.
Ola traveled to California to be closer to her brother Nathaniel and his family. Her beloved Omnie Grabs, Sr. caught a train to California soon thereafter, where he wed his bride and together they returned home to 210 East Dalton Rd in King, N.C. the same year.
Omnie and Ola had one son born in the home, Omnie Grabs, Jr. in December 1933. The family gardened in the backyard, growing beautiful flowers and vegetables that Ola cooked for their family. There was even a chicken coop!
In 1941, Ola passed away unexpectedly, leaving the father and young son to move just down the road to live in what is now the King Moravian Church offices, with his sister, Lula Grabs Pulliam.
During this time, 210 East Dalton remained empty for four years until Omnie, Sr. married Martha Ingram Harding. The family moved back in and enjoyed two happy years before Martha passed away following surgery. After Martha’s passing, Omnie, Sr. married Lillian Speas, and together they lived happily in the home until Omnie passed away in 1970. Lillian remained until her passing in 1982.
The following year, the Grabs grandchildren moved in and took turns living in the home until 1996. The home was sold a few years later and was used as a law office. In 2015, the home was bought and brought to life again when Bella Blythe opened.
Our Staff
Chancey Gallimore, Owner
Welcome! My name is Chancey Gallimore. I grew up right here in King, NC, and I’ve always known I wanted to grow my business and my family here too. I graduated from West Stokes in 2010 and started my cosmetology career right after. 2023 marks my 13th year doing hair and my 8th year open at Bella Blythe Salon and Spa.
My husband Justin Gallimore is a huge part of the business and helps keep things running smoothly for our group of 12. Together we have two girls as well as 2 golden doodles, Ace and Oliver (Ollie). My daughters both share the “Blythe” middle name, which inspired the salon name. It means: happy and carefree!
My clients are like a second family to me. I am so fortunate to have some of the most loving clients who make my job so rewarding. What I love most about doing hair is seeing the way a color or a cut can change a person instantly. The joy I get from turning a client to my mirror and seeing them light up is such an honor. I encourage colors and cuts that complement each individual’s skin tone and face shape.
I would say blonding is my favorite. There is something so relaxing to me about creating a beautiful head of foils even before they’ve been taken out. I love to show clients that blonde hair can be healthy and well taken care of through great product knowledge in and out of the salon, along with at-home maintenance. Teaching my clients how to maintain and recreate salon-quality results at home is my goal. I have a passion for using products that are cleaner, so please reach out if you are looking for cleaner color and products.
Bella Blythe is my home away from home. I thank God for leading, guiding, and directing me every step of the way in this business journey that I pray is a blessing to every friend who walks in the door. To have an award-winning salon and spa full of exceptionally talented artists who all bring their expertise to the table is a dream. I am blessed to get to laugh, share ideas, and share my salon with all of our team members. I would like to give a special thanks to my best friend, my husband, for always encouraging me and forever taking all of my salon ideas and bringing them to life.

Coloring is my favorite but I also love up-styling and fun, short haircuts. I am a mom of two and I enjoy spending the weekends fishing with my husband and little family!
Savannah
Savannah started her career in 2012 after graduating from the Paul Mitchell School in Charlotte, NC. Savannah has always loved doing hair for as long as she can remember. “I remember being thirteen or so and coloring my aunt’s hair at the kitchen table while we all sat around talking and laughing!” Savannah enjoys everything about hair, but she specifically loves coloring and styling. Savannah has a six-year-old daughter, a baby boy, and an awesome husband as of this April! She is very excited about her journey with us and looks forward to seeing you all!
Bailee Newsome
Hey everyone! I’m Bailee and I am 22. I graduated from Dermacademy and am currently a licensed esthetician. Since middle school, I’ve been passionate about makeup. My favorite part of my makeup routine is probably eyeshadow and the many different things you can do with it! I enjoy traveling for weddings and getting to do formal makeup for Bella Blythe. Seeing the way people feel about themselves after I’ve enhanced their natural features is a true blessing that I’m thankful for. I’m excited for what is all in store for me in this creative industry!
Erika Rogers
Hello, my name is Erika Rodgers. I have been providing professional beauty and hair care services for ten years. I graduated from Leon’s Beauty School where I gained a solid foundation of knowledge and expertise. Throughout my career I have continued to grow in my knowledge and as a beautician, it’s my passion. I specialize in color, highlights and Brazilian blow-outs. Outside of work, I am a wife and a mother. I am a resident of King and love our community.

Hailey Alvear
I graduated from Surry Community College and started my career behind the chair in 2017. I knew I wanted to work in the beauty industry at a very young age – it’s something I’ve always been passionate about. I am a Redken specialist, and I love all things hair, but coloring would have to be my favorite!
Emma Wetter
My name is Emma Wetter. I’ve been married to my husband for seven years now and am the mother of two boys (Sampson, 6, and Hank, 4). Born and raised in New Zealand, my favorite thing to do is travel. I plan on showing my kids the world! There is so much out there to see. I went to cosmetology school at Chipola College in Florida while playing softball and got to see a little bit of the States while doing so. My favorite thing about my job is all the different people I’ve met over the years, and watching the young ones grow up to realize their passion just as I realized mine. I love being a small part of their journey. My favorite thing to do behind the chair would be color corrections. The difference I can make to someone’s confidence in the little time I see them is breathtaking!
Edie Hill
Hey everyone, I am Edie Hill. I am the Licensed Massage Therapist at Bella Blythe Salon and Spa. August will start my 20th year. Edie is married to a wonderful man and they have a son and daughter. To say I love what I do is an understatement. This world can be so stressful and hectic. It causes pain and injury to our bodies. To be able to help people who have injuries or just need to relax is wonderful. My clients become an extension of my family. I love that. I feel blessed that God led me down the path to massage therapy and brought me to Bella Blythe. I work with the best.
Anna Hill
Hannah Willis
My name is Hannah Willis. I have been doing hair for six years. I have always loved watching makeover shows and seeing the transformation that a hairstyle can do. I love doing big changes and completely transforming people’s looks. I love the chemistry of color and the visual of haircuts! It’s more than just painting and snipping to me. My favorite thing is finishing the color and cut with an amazing style and revealing it to the client! The reactions are what makes all the time and energy put into it so worth it!!! I’ve always loved art and creating something unique. Doing hair isn’t just a job, it’s a passion!
Molly
Hey y’all, I’m Molly! I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful daughters, Saylor and Oaklyn. I have been behind the chair doing hair for 10 years! Time flies when you’re having fun! I honestly couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Making people feel good about themselves is my favorite! Seeing the smile on their face and a boost in their confidence is so rewarding! I love doing hair color! From ashy blondes to dimensional brunettes, I LOVE IT ALL!
Cindy Motsinger
My name is Cindy Motsinger. I am married to Gary Motsinger and am the mother of two sons and grandmother to three little girls. I worked in the financial industry for 25 years (regrettably), before going back to school to learn Esthetics. I have been an Esthetician now for 15 years. It is my passion to teach clients about proper skin care. It is rewarding when I watch the transformation before me and then reveal what exfoliated, hydrated skin looks like to my clients. I am truly blessed to have wonderful relationships with my clients and love them like family. I look back and realize the people in my past were mere instruments in God’s plan for my life and for that I am truly Thankful.
