After a lot of thought, prayer, and consideration, I’ve made the decision to close the doors of my salon and step into a new chapter. 🤍
This decision has been a very personal one. I’ve loved being a salon owner, and I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve built and everything this business has taught me. But I’ve realized that the responsibilities that come with owning and operating a salon are no longer the direction I want my life to take.
At this point, I want to simplify things, have more freedom, and be able to focus more on my personal life, fertility, and family. I’m not walking away from the beauty industry—I’m simply choosing to enjoy it in a different way.
Moving forward, I plan to continue doing what I love at Malaika Spa & Salon starting December 1st, without the responsibilities that come with being an owner. I’m excited to be able to focus on my clients, my health, and having a better balance in my life.
I also want to take a moment to recognize my two amazing hairstylists, Allison Fulton and BJ Henderson. 🤍 My salon would not have been the same without you both. Thank you for being part of this journey, for the time and effort you’ve poured into the salon, and for the memories we’ve made along the way. Being a salon owner has taught me so much, but one of the most meaningful parts has been having a team to share the journey with. I’m so thankful for everything you’ve contributed, and I’m proud of you both as you move into your next chapters. Although this chapter is closing, I’ll always be cheering you on and wishing you nothing but success and happiness. Thank you for being part of something that meant so much to me. 🤍
For all of my clients who have loved and supported these ladies, you can continue following their journeys at their new salon homes:
✂️ Allison Fulton will be joining Salon 814 in Beaver Dam.
✂️ BJ Henderson will be joining New Beginnings Hair Salon in Hartford.
Please continue to show them the same love and support you’ve always shown them. They both have so much talent to share, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them!
To every person who has supported me, trusted me, sat in my chair, referred someone to me, shared my business, or simply cheered me on, thank you. 🤍 You have been such an important part of this chapter, and I will always be grateful.
This isn’t the end of my journey in beauty. It’s just the end of one chapter and the beginning of one that I believe will be much better suited for where I am in life right now.
Here’s to new beginnings, more balance, and a little less pressure. 🤍✨
(All December and on appointments will be at Malaika Salon & Spa! So if you have an October or November appointment, it will be held at Divine Beauty as usual!)
