Eliza Annette Johnson

Eliza Annette Johnson was born July 7, 1924, to the late Henry Johnson and Ejella Davis Johnson in Yantley, Alabama. She passed away November 3, 2021, at her home in Knoxville, Tennessee.

She attended Lady Alyce Beauty School and began a career that spanned over 69 years. She was the co-owner of Salon De Beaute for several years, located in First AME Zion Church on McCalla Avenue and later relocated to Magnolia Avenue. She was a member of the Tennessee Beautician Association, Beautician League Chapter #4, and named one of the Top Ten Hairdressers from the Hairdresser’s Association. Ms. Annette would eventually retire from Hair Fashion East at the age of 89. Making people feel good about their appearance was her ministry!
