Owner guarantees hair cuts for seven days and offers free 'bang, neck trims'
Posted: 10/30/2014 09:36:35 AM EDT
Hairway 2 Heaven Salon, 922 Johns Ave., Gettysburg, offers organic hair colors and surgery free face lifts for a more radiant healthy look, said salon owner, beautician and cosmetologist Donna Sweesy.
She opened her new salon in July of this year with the goal of offering clients great hairstyles, perms and coloring without using harsh chemicals, Sweesy said. The salon has a full range of services, including hair care for women, men and children plus manicures, skin care, facials and kinetic dermibrasion.
'Kinetic dermibrasion buffs off dead skin and promotes skin growth,' Sweesy claims, 'It is very affordable and pretty remarkable. It can make you look like you had a face lift, with no surgery.'
A unique aspect of her new salon, Sweesy says, is that she guarantees client's hair cuts for seven days. For example a person with long hair that is considering a shorter hairdo may want to get a couple inches cut off first and then come back later in the week if they feel they want to go even shorter.
'Hair cuts shouldn't cause a panic,' Sweesy said, 'Its much less stressful if we don't have to cut it all off at once.'
Another shop specialty is if anyone with long hair, man or woman, gets a hair cut they can have a 'bang trim' for free for the next six months. Men or women with a short hair cut can get free 'neck trims' for two months, Sweesy said.
'If you look good you make me look good,' Sweesy said with a smile.
Sweesy, whose maiden name was Altman, was born in Rhode Island but moved to Adams County with her family as a child. She graduated from Bermudian Springs High School in 1978 and graduated from Head Hunters Beauty School in Harrisburg in 1979, Sweesy said.
She was only 20 years old in 1981 when she obtained her license to teach in beauty schools, Sweesy said, but did not actually start teaching the art until age 42 in 2003.
She taught Fairfield Vo-Tech students for Empire Beauty School for the next 7 1/2 years, Sweesy said, with the name for her new salon being invented by Becki Smith, who was her very first graduate in 2005. The Hairway 2 Heaven name is also cleverly crafted into the decor of the shop, Sweesey said, as the downstairs of the salon is green like the earth and the upstairs is decorated with heavenly sky blues and sunny golds.
'It's been quite an adventure,' Sweesey said of her new enterprise, 'Everything has been falling in place. God has brought me here and he is still directing my path.'
Although she currently isn't teaching classes she still has a student at her salon, Sweesy said, as Gettysburg High School senior Lyzeth Alvarez Lopez is helping at the shop as her senior project. Lopez brings the shop the added benefit of being bi-lingual, Sweesy said, as she is a translator for Spanish speaking clients.
Giving area residents the opportunity to use organic and natural products on their hair and skin is only the first step in her plan, Sweesy said, as she eventually hopes to open her own beauty school teaching students to use more natural ingredients.
'This salon is not the ending, its a footstool to get me to my next destination of opening my own beauty school,' Sweesy said, 'I want to help each client find what makes them unique and beautiful.' That goal is reflected in the salon's motto 'Be your own kind of beautiful.'
