People are carrying a lot of weight around today, and Starling Salon wants to ease that holiday stress. An anonymous reviewer left this idea on Demand Force, “In the wild world we are living in, the investment in my self-care and health are beyond worth it.” There’s plenty a haircut cannot fix, but there’s more a recharging appointment with your Starling artist can help you weather. It might look like a business on the outside, but it’s full of human beings on the inside, and they want to pay it forward. So, what can you expect from them this holiday season?
The Starling Salon team raises the bar on holiday kindness each year, outdoing their sparkling gifts for the sake of gratitude. This year, they’re boxing high-quality samples from both Aveda and Shu Uemura, locally sourced jewelry, a limited coupon for a free full-sized product with the purchase of a full-sized retail product (ask your stylist or the front desk for conditions), and some boxes even have tarot cards. After 10 years of giving, they keep gaining momentum.
Why? Why craft luxury gifts for every single guest who visits the salon? Sonia Nordmeyer says, “To thank our existing clients, that’s our number one reason why. I’m grateful people want to come here.” Sometimes it feels like businesses will do anything for your dollar. Starling Salon prefers to shift that perspective by reminding everyone they’re a bunch of average people standing inside a business. “A collective heartbeat exists in this building. The energy here is full of integrity and people who value humans: where they’re at in life and for who they are as a person.” Sonia would know; she grew her community from scratch by sourcing the best materials: empathetic humans.
Holiday stress affects countless people, and its invisible nature means those closest to you could be experiencing that heaviness without so much as a peep. The people who represent Starling Salon want everyone to know that whatever’s plaguing you this season, they care. Whether they’re going through the same pains or offering an open ear during your service, they care. Does this sound like a paid advertisement? Sure, but that doesn’t make it less true.
While kindness and soft spaces may feel in short supply these days, the people who run this business have strong feelings and need your kindness, too. That’s why they’re opening the one space they can control with warmth for anyone needing extra care this season. With deep gratitude, Starling Salon says thank you.
