I established Salon De Cheveux in April of 2010. I had worked in a very popular salon in Cañon City, but after the death of my mother, I needed to make some changes in my life.

I started out in one side of a building and did hair and nails solo for one year.  The next year, I added two booth rent positions and expanded into the other side of the building.  

Soon after, I attended a class called Mission Possible that opened my mind to a better way of business, and I started looking for a large building, as my staff was already beginning to grow.  In July of 2012, we moved into the current location of 723 Main Street. 

Over the years, we have added stylist stations, a beautiful shampoo area, four treatment rooms and a large retail display area.

When the salon was shut down in March of 2020 due to COVID-19, I had the time to look at what we were doing, and develop a plan to make us better.  I attended countless Zoom seminars and trainings and started working on a plan to make us debt free and build our clientele.  Staffing changes upon reopening have given us our current team of dedicated stylists who care about our guests, and want to build an experience for each one.

Unexpected Renovations

In February of 2021, we had the unfortunate experience of having a vehicle drive through our front door and destroy our retail and shampoo area, and take out two styling stations. One employee was injured, but it could have been so much worse. We were shut down for just four short days as we began the clean up and doing what we would need to do to get our staff back to work.

We took this opportunity to do the remodel that we have always wanted to do.  By the end of summer 2021, Salon De Cheveux will be operating with an entirely new look.  The staff during this time was amazing!  Each one pitching in where they could, and being supportive and being flexible when things were uncertain.

We continue to grow and evolve as a business, as I research products and services and bring the best and most innovative things into our salon. Our staff participates in hands-on training for both services and best business practices with the companies that we partner with so that we can continue to offer the best guest experience in town.  We believe that high tech will never replace high touch, and after COVID-19, we realize how many people may receive that touch only through their salon experiences.

We are in a unique position to be able to service not only our local community, but also the many people that travel through our community. 

I believe in our community, I believe in small businesses and I believe that growth helps us all.  I believe that it is important to know what other businesses are in your community, and that we must become experts in promoting one another along with ourselves.  

After more than a decade as a staple of Downtown Cañon City, Salon de Cheveux is proud to have served thousands of happy customers who continue to come back to experience the epitome of self care in the heart of our community. 

Whether you are coming in for a haircut, a facial, manicure, pedicure or for any of our other pampering services, we strongly believe in the importance of treating yourself. When we take time to practice self care, other aspects of life tend to improve as well. At Salon de Cheveux, we believe in making time to make yourself a priority.

We promise, when you step through our doors for your service, we will make sure you feel relaxed, at ease, and ready to be pampered. It is our goal to help you take care of yourself. When you are here, consider yourself on a vacation. So come on in, and let us pamper you!
