Dear Friends,

22 years in business and I'm making a move again! This time....it's proved to be the best move ever, bring Trendsetters back to our roots.

It's amazing to see how many people stop in every day to see the new place and show their support. Many have just as many memories as I do.

My business is growing every day, and I'm proud to be back where it all began. In 1990, I built my new (1st!) salon in my uncle's building (where we are now!) - filling the spot where the library was. It created quite a buzz in town when we started the trend of hair jewelry. As a client said to me recently: "none of my girls would leave your shop without having hair jewelry put in their hair."

It caught on fast and we became very busy, prompting me to make a move after five years. At that time, we moved to 200 High Street, giving us more room to expand. We had a great 16 year run there. In February 2011, circumstances lead to us making another move - but this time, it was a sweet homecoming. After all these years and changes, my uncle's old store was available to rent again. I knew it was the right thing to do, so we made the move. Unfortunately, my Uncle Tony passed away three years ago in May; but I know he is looking down on me with a smile.

Being here again brings a whole new atmosphere to our salon, and has created that "buzz" in town again. I believe that Trendsetters has come full circle, to a place we can call home where we began so many years ago.

Our team of professionals looks forward to welcoming our past, present, and future clients for many years to come.

~Nancy
