When Kathryn Folley, owner of Ambiance Hair Salon, decided it was time to retire her business after 26 years, she knew she had to choose the absolute perfect match to carry on her work.<\/p>\n
Just two years ago, Tanya Blain walked into Ambiance with her resume and the pair had an instant connection.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had been looking for someone to make this transition for us eventually, someone we could trust and had a passion for the business. So when Tanya came into the salon it was fate\u2014I knew she would be perfect,\u201d said Kathryn.<\/p>\n
The pair currently work alongside their office manager, Marlene Watts, who will also be retiring this December with Kathryn.<\/p>\n
\u201cMarlene is utterly irreplaceable,\u201d said Kathryn, \u201cShe really has kept both me and the business going all these years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathryn and Marlene have worked together for 23 years so their retirement will be a sentimental send off.<\/p>\n
Ambiance has a very loyal following and many clients have been coming to the salon for its entire 26 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course you come here to get your hair done but you also come for the conversation. It\u2019s a place where I can share aspects of my life and even learn some things,\u201d said client Wendy Stephen. \u201cI have been coming here for 26 years and I know that I will be in good hands with Tanya.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tanya has been a hairdresser for 20 years and will be transitioning the salon into her very own place this coming December.<\/p>\n
\u201cI chose the name Crimson Dawn for my business for a significant reason,\u201d Tanya said. \u201cWhen Kathryn hired me, I was wearing crimson red lipstick and \u2018dawn\u2019 represents a new beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tanya has recently completely transformed the salon into her own new space to prepare for this December.<\/p>\n
