Luxe Salon in Salisbury Becomes Beauty Hub Salon Under New Ownership
SALISBURY – Luxe Salon in Salisbury has undergone new ownership. With a rebrand underway, Kirsten Thomas, the new owner, will be redesigning the company now known as The Beauty Hub Salon.
The Beauty Hub Salon is a full-service beauty salon. They offer haircuts and colours for men, women, and children. Along with this, there are also two others who work alongside Thomas as a nail tech and a medical esthetician.
Thomas says that she has been a hair stylist since 2009, having graduated from Atlantic Hairstyling Academy in Fredericton. She moved to Salisbury in 2021 and had started working in the area a year later.
Having taken over the business on May 1st, with the new name being in effect as of June 1st, the progression to owner came very naturally to her.
“The previous owner offered the opportunity for me to purchase the business, and it just seemed like the right step to head in that direction,” Thomas tells Huddle.
Thomas says that since she has taken over the business, there has been no downtime for them with customers still coming in every day. If anything, there have been more customers coming in, but Thomas says that she doesn’t know if it’s due to her new ownership, or just the time of year.
She says that she had originally moved to and started working in Salisbury due to the location of her family. After having met someone from the Salisbury area and later having a child together, she says that it just made sense to move her clientele to Salisbury.
“I needed to have availability and flexibility to be very close to where [my daughter] was within 20 minutes to half an hour,” says Thomas.
She says that after some time, she realized that it would just be a better option to move to Salisbury and meet new clients, rather than traveling to her clients in Fredericton. This would allow her to remain close to her family, while still doing what she loves.
Now, she has taken over Luxe Salon and is making a name for herself. With the help of her team, the rebranding process is going very well.
Since all three team members were previously a part of Luxe Salon, the clientele that The Beauty Hub Salon has is already booming.
Thomas says that although The Beauty Hub Salon is by appointment only, people can come in either to get once service done, or all of them in one day.
“We all love what we do, and that, especially in the beauty industry, breeds longevity,” says Thomas.
With the new name now in effect, Thomas and the rest of the team are excited to welcome everyone into the rebranded business.
