Stoneham Salon Celebrates Grand Reopening

celebrated its grand reopening Saturday during and invited family, friends and clients to stop in during its first day of a business at its new location.

Owner Helaine Marie, who has worked in the hair design industry for nearly 20 years and travelled the country as a styling consultant, first opened her Stoneham business in 2004 across town from its current location at 366 Main St.

“I was on the other end of town for seven years,” Marie said. “I moved up here to expand a little bit, to add skin care and nails to my salon. My other location was too small, so we came here and opened up a little bit bigger of a spot.”

The new location is slightly larger than original salon yet has a comfortable, cozy and friendly atmosphere and offers enough space for Marie to provide beauty services beyond hair styling.

The celebration was a casual event where attendees were invited to enjoy pastries, cake, cookies and mimosas. Those who attended may have noticed heavy amounts of foot traffic around the Main Street storefront decorated with balloons and freshly painted pink trim.

Customers were also automatically entered into a raffle for a chance to win a haircare product gift basket, a skincare product gift basket and a $150 gift certificate.

“We just had some pastries and some mimosas,” Marie said. “We’re bringing some new clients in and showing them the new services we have.”

A single, smiling customer was receiving a haircut toward the end of the day while Marie’s friends and family, including her husband, mother-in-law, sister, and brother-in-law, chatted and casually began to tidy up after a busy first day, during which Marie said many customers had stopped in.

While she said it had been a long day, Marie still had a smile on her face and said that she was excited to be in business at the new location.

A complete list of the various haircare, nailcare, and skincare services offered by Marie is available on the salon website.
