Shannon Parrish-Simon spent several years operating a salon out of her home before deciding to expand and found a full-service salon in the historic Horner Mill complex, which was constructed in 1844. This former site of industry now houses a number of businesses dedicated to providing a more personal touch, including The Chop Shop Salon. Shannon and her team help clients look their best by helping to reshape and maintain an existing style or by building an entire new look from the ground up. For an even more dramatic difference, the stylists can incorporate foil highlights or all-over color to add an extra bit of depth and dimension to hairdos. The salon's self-styling station allows clients to learn a bit more about maintaining their look at home while also gleaning some useful insiders' tips from the staff, such as how to fashion an updo with a single bobby pin and a little bit of moxie.

The certified aestheticians at Steven L Marvin Salon & Wellness Spa employ an array of Aveda oils and products to refresh skin and relax faces in one-hour facial treatments. In the signature facial, aestheticians' tension-seeking fingers massage sources of stress across the epidermis. Aromatic Aveda oils lull the most combative minds to a state of peace, soaking deep into skin, eliminating dryness, and drowning the dermal imps trying to steal your face. As in all massages offered, the spa's skin whisperers adjust their plans of attack to suit faces' most visible needs as well as the audible demands of their muttering pores.
