We believe that a business should be more than an amenity to a community, it should be a member.

Violet Salon believes in being an active member of their community of neighbors, guests, and staff. Historically, salons have been a crossroads of community where people go to update and enhance their look while communicating with one another on the latest happenings. We, at Violet Salon, pride ourselves in our reputation of embodying the concept of keeping the community up-to-date on both their look and connectivity.

Honoring Our First Responders - October - December 2020

First Responders play a critical role in keeping us safe and healthy. With the COVID-19 virus threatening everyone, these individuals put their lives on the line and stepped up where others did not. Therefore, we, the Violet Salon Team, selected this group as the focus for our first community initiative. We asked our guests, loved ones, and the greater community to nominate a First Responder to be entered into a giveaway. Then, we selected a winner each week for 11 weeks to win a full MAKEOVER! This makeover included the works with their hair, a manicure, and make-up. ALL First Responders were also able to receive 50% off any one hair service. In the end, we received over 20 nominations, 7 deserving First Responders came in for their makeovers, and we donated over $4,00 in services.
