Mary Owens Peake, owner of
 Hair Medics-Non Surgical Hair Replacement in Richmond, VA

Here’s why I shut down my traditional salon and reopened at a Salon Plaza Studio:

As an owner of a 8-chair salon for 16 years, I kept getting postcards from Salon Plaza showing me how I could make my life simpler –

No overhead to pay, no chairs to rent, no maintenance to worry about.

Back then I was overwhelmed with trying to keep everything running smoothly. One day I just got tired of the overhead and decided to go smaller. I walked right in to Salon Plaza, and they said,

“This will be your studio right here.”

And I said – ummm, I like this studio.

Then I took a stroll around the Plaza and everyone was saying hi. My studio was very private, but I still would be working with other professionals.

Now that I’m running my salon out of a Salon Plaza Studio, I love it!

I don’t have to hire and manage other stylists. I can give my one-on-one best to the client in my chair.

Hair salons richmond va non surgical hair replacementMy goal as a hairstylist is to make each and every client who sits in my chair feel great about themselves. I love to put 100% into all my work.

Most importantly, during consultation I listen to my client to hear exactly what style he or she is looking to achieve. Then I will offer my professional opinion on what I think would be best for their features and hair.

I love working with my clients to make them feel happy, beautiful and fantastic.

My studio is peaceful – a private space away from the hustle, bustle, noise, and commotion of everyday life.

I can give my clients the personal attention they crave.

I am an instructor. In my own studio at Salon Plaza, I have time to teach my clients about hair care, which I love to do. Some people are going natural – some are not. Either way, you still have to take care of your hair and keep it conditioned and trimmed.

For my clients with thinning hair, I specialize in hair replacement without surgery. What is non-surgical hair replacement? For people with cancer, alopecia or other causes of hair loss, I provide a natural looking hair system. I spent a year at The Hair Institute to learn how to restore the natural volume and healthy look to your hair.

You will be able to shower, exercise, and walk into the wind without detection. Put away the hats and scarves. Stop restricting yourself!

Advice to hairstylists who want to own their own salon:

Two-thirds of all clients change their salon, and the number one reason given by departing clients – “the owner just didn’t give me enough personal attention.”

Giving your client one-on-one time is really important. Each client is unique. Yet one thing they all have in common is they want and deserve SPECIAL ATTENTION. If you work in a traditional salon, they probably want privacy more often than you have time and space to give it to them.

If you really want to be happy and serve your clients well, Salon Plaza is the best choice you could ever make.

I hear some stylists who are looking at Salon Plaza say,

“Oh, I don’t want to pay this money.”

But the money you pay is worth it. It’s all about having your own business. You establish your own clientele and how professional you are.

Salon Plaza will bring out the best in you…

After 16 years of running a multi-chair salon, I love my privacy. At Salon Plaza you won’t have to deal with all the stress of managing other chair renters under you. You can set up the atmosphere the way you want and give your personal attention to your clients.

I love being a salon owner at Salon Plaza!
