A ribbon cutting was held Feb. 6 welcoming Salon 2140 II to downtown Shawano.
Owner Julie Nowak, of Pulaski, was 21 when she opened Salon 2140 at 1231 E. Green Bay St. in Shawano in 2005. In 2010, she purchased sole ownership of the operation.
Over the last several months, Nowak said, she decided the opportunity and timing were perfect for the second location.
“It also is helping our economy, adding jobs and keeping the downtown alive,” Nowak said.
Salon 2140 II, at 140 S. Main St., will offer more spa services than the original salon, including massage, facials, throne pedicures, manicures, body wraps — including detox wraps to help with weight management, and more. Nowak said the salon plans to add customized airbrush tanning in the future.
In addition, a new organic line of products will be featured and available for purchase.
“We are proud to offer our organic line,” Nowak said. “It’s a win-win situation for our environment and our clients.”
The salon employs seven people, four of whom were with Insight Salon, which previously occupied the Main Street location. The staff members are Ashley Flink, Alyssa Schroeder, Heather Mailahn, Carla Seifert, Sam WallrichThunder, Justine Krause and Nikki Bougie.
Nowak employs 11 people at the Green Bay Street salon.
Nowak said she is looking for licensed massage therapists. For information, contact her at 715-526-3433 or salon2140@frontiernet.net. The salons are online at salon2140.com and salon2140ii.com.
