A Hairstylist Revolution! :or: Everyone Gets a Chance at Salon Ownership
Ever since I opened the wendyo Salon doors three years ago at 572 Massachusetts Ave. in the West Acton Village, I have been so grateful for the fact that I am the proprietor of my own business. To me, having full control of the budgeting and spending of the business income is as rewarding as what the salon business is about: helping people achieve their “individual aesthetic expression” (doing their hair and makeup).
Now more than ever, people (including fellow hairstylists), should have more control over their paycheck due to rising day-to-day expenses and potentially uncertain healthcare cost issues. As a single mother I understand the gravity of balancing the family budget. This is why I am opening my doors to other hairstylists who want the same freedom one gets from running their own business with the opportunity for booth rental.
Booth rental is simply the process of renting a space within a salon which usually consists of a styling chair, mirror, counter and in our case at wendyo Salon: a stylist’s very own sink/shampoo bowl. Along with the rental fee being potentially HALF of what is doled out to an employer for commission, there are other incentives for hairstylists with business ownership aspirations.
– Stylist’s control of their client list.
– Freedom of choice in products used for hairstyling and chemical work.
– Freedom of making one’s own hours.
– Minimal overhead due to the fact that the stylist is only responsible for their designated area.
– Full control over their advertising and marketing. (Of course, here at wendyo Salon, we contribute to initial advertising to welcome our new friends.)
– Full control and freedom to choose one’s health insurance provider and plan.
*To further explore this exciting option please contact us at 978-263-5442, wendyosalon.com, Twitter and/or Facebook.
Of course being an employee also has it’s advantages and we still offer that option for people who prefer that choice. But times they are a changin’ and so are the ways entrepreneurs mind their business.

Sue’s ::Makeover:: Story
The other day I had the pleasure of meeting one of the lovely ladies who won our makeover giveaway. After being moved by the outpouring of support shown through the numerous nominations, I had to meet this woman Sue Hardy.
Here is just a taste of the love for Sue:
“I would like to nominate my best friend Sue Hardy. Sue is a single disabled mom of one of the greatest kids I know, thanks to Sue’s incredible devotion to raising her son. Sue has always been an inspiration to me as she can always find the sunshine on a rainy day. I have known Sue since we were kids and her ability to adapt to even the hardest of situations is remarkable. Sue deserves this makeover if for no other reason than to take her mind off of taking care of everyone else in her life and just lie back and have herself taken care of. Please consider Sue for this makeover as not only will she be the one receiving it, you will be receiving the joy of being around the most positive person I know.”

Cheryl’s ::Makeover::
This vlog features our amazing new friend, Cheryl. The touching post for our ::Makeover Giveaway:: submitted by Cheryl’s daughter, Meaghan, is the best introduction for this video:
“I nominate my mom, Cheryl Doty Whittier. She’s been dealing with a dabilitating back injury for almost a year now and still manages to be a wonderful single mom to my 2 brothers and I. She’s got long curly hair that is often unmanageable. She has been out of work for 10 months and is one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. My mom deserves this because through all her struggles in the past year she’s been kind of depressed and blue and a nice makeover would really brighten her spirits! She’s faced many struggles in life but is still and amazing woman. Shes stepped in to take care of my cousin who moved in with us last year, she treats everyone with the utmost respect and has a genuine heart. My oldest brother is serving in the army and hasn’t been home in over a year and is scheduled to deploy again next spring. This has also contributed to my moms sadness. She’s an awesome woman and deserves to have a day where she can be pampered and treated like a queen!
Please,Wendy help my mom out!”
