Straight Curls Premier Salon

TURNKEY 4 CHAIR SALON FOR SALE | JACKSONVILLE, NC

Ready to own your own salon without starting from four blank walls and a prayer?

I’m selling my established 4 chair salon, and it’s ready for the right person to step in and make it their own.

The salon features:

• 4 stylist stations/chairs
• Shampoo area
• Separate bonus room that could be used for an esthetician, lashes, waxing, massage, spray tanning, office space, or additional services
• Washer and dryer
• Break room
• Plenty of parking
• Comfortable, established salon setup

This has been an amazing chapter for me, but my life and career are heading in a new direction, and I’m ready to pass the salon owner torch to somebody else.

And just to be clear, I am NOT leaving the hair industry. I’ll still be behind the chair. I’m just ready to let somebody else enjoy the glamorous responsibilities of salon ownership. 😂

This would be a great opportunity for an established stylist who is ready to become an owner, or someone looking for a salon space that is already set up and ready to go.

Located in Jacksonville, NC.

Asking price: $20,000

Serious inquiries only. Message me through Marketplace for additional information or to schedule a private showing.

Know someone who keeps saying, “One day I’m going to own my own salon”?

Maybe one day is now.

THIS is why I will never look at frizz and assume there aren’t beautiful curls hiding underneath. 👏🏽

Same head of hair. No magic wand. No curl transplant. 😂 Just the right care, the right technique, and curls finally getting what they’ve been asking for.

We detoxed, cleansed, hydrated, styled with intention, and let her actual curl pattern show up and show OUT. 😍

And can we talk about that definition?! The shine?! Those little spirals all the way through the ends?! Ma’am. They were in there the whole damn time.

Curly hair isn’t “difficult.” Sometimes it just needs someone to understand what the heck it’s trying to do. ❤️

POV: You booked a curl coaching session… and accidentally left with a new curly bestie. 😂

There are clients you do hair for… and then there are clients who somehow end up knowing your entire life story… while you learn theirs too.

This was definitely the second one. 🤣

We laughed. We solved curl problems. We solved life problems. There may or may not have been a brief intermission for some very important new mom duties. Let’s just say by the end of the appointment, there were absolutely no strangers left in the room. 😂

The curls, though… THAT was the easy part.

We brought those waves to life with a custom curly cut, curl coaching, product application, and diffuser lessons. We even worked on the official Curly Girl workout…

The Diffuser Hinge™. 🍑

Bend at the hips.
Save your shoulders.
Trust the process.
Repeat until your curls are fabulous.

Being a new mom means your schedule revolves around someone very tiny, so I wanted to make sure her curl routine didn’t feel like another full time job. Easier. Faster. More confidence. That’s always the goal.

By the end of the appointment, she knew my life story, I knew hers, her curls had a whole new game plan, and I think we both earned honorary therapist licenses. 😂

I can’t wait to see these curls after a few weeks of practice… and yes, I’m fully expecting updates from my new curly bestie. ❤️

Some people fly to Florida for vacation… this sweet soul flies to North Carolina for her curls. 🇺🇸✈️

Happy 4th of July! While we’re celebrating America’s 250th birthday, let’s also celebrate good decisions… like not trying to wrestle a mountain of curls with one good hand. 😂

The photos don’t even come close to showing how incredibly THICK her hair is. Between the weight of all that hair, the headaches it was causing, and a broken wrist that had her styling everything one handed, it was time to lighten the load.

So we said goodbye to the extra length, kept all the personality, and gave those curls room to spring back to life. More movement. More definition. Less weight. Less styling time. And hopefully… fewer headaches.

The best part? She lives in Florida, but every time she comes to visit her sister here in North Carolina, she saves her curls for me. That is one of the biggest compliments I could ever receive, and I never take that trust for granted. ❤️

Here’s to lighter curls, happier heads, and clients who make my job the best one in the world.

🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

What better way to celebrate freedom than setting your curls free too? 😏

My beautiful friend and client came in ready for a change, and y’all… those wispy, broken ends had officially overstayed their welcome. They were hanging on like that one firework that refuses to go off until everyone’s walking back to the car.

✂️ Snip.
💥 Boom.
✨ Hello, curly bob!

That fresh shape gave her curls new life, and can we please take a moment for that adorable curly fringe? It’s playful, flattering, and somehow makes her smile even brighter. Sometimes the best glow up isn’t adding more… it’s letting go of what isn’t serving you anymore.

Here’s to 250 years of independence… and declaring independence from damaged ends. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Stay safe, eat something off the grill, watch some fireworks, and let your curls celebrate right along with you.

Today’s appointment was all about being a de influencer. 😏

The internet told her she needed a five step routine.

The internet told her she needed all the products.

The internet told her curls had to be complicated.

I respectfully disagreed.

Today we cut off some length because it fit her lifestyle, but the real transformation happened when we simplified everything else.

✔️ Less product.
✔️ Less styling.
✔️ Less time.
✔️ Better results.

She walked out with curls that fit real life, not social media.

As much as I love creating beautiful curls, my favorite part is watching clients realize they don’t have to spend an hour in front of the mirror to have great hair.

Sorry, internet… I de influenced another one today. 😂

Sometimes the best thing I can teach isn’t what to add.
It’s what you can stop doing.

As your curl specialist, you probably expected me to talk about healthy hair.

Today, I’m talking about something just as important.

Perimenopause.

I’m 49, right in the middle of it, and I’ve realized something that every woman deserves to know.

As we get older, especially through perimenopause and menopause, we naturally begin losing muscle mass unless we challenge our muscles with resistance training. Hormonal changes also make it easier to lose strength and bone density while gaining body fat.

That sounds depressing…

Until you realize how much power we actually have.

Strength training isn’t just about building muscle.

It helps improve insulin sensitivity, supports bone health, boosts metabolism, improves balance, increases energy, and releases endorphins that can help improve mood and reduce stress. It can even help us stay independent and active as we age.

No, lifting weights doesn’t magically “balance” hormones.

But it absolutely helps your body function better through the hormonal roller coaster that is perimenopause.

I’ve spent years helping women feel confident in their curls.

Now I’m learning how important it is to feel strong in my own body too.

Healthy hair is wonderful.

Healthy muscles, healthy bones, and a healthy mind will carry you through the next chapter of your life.

If you’re over 40 and you’ve been thinking about picking up a pair of dumbbells, this is your sign.

It is never too late to get stronger.

And trust me… strong looks good on everyone. 💪💕

I have gotten an uptick of haircut, corrections of clients that have gone to someone who works independently/ suite. This is in no way a dig to every single license cosmetologist. But unfortunately, a few bad eggs spoil it for the bunch so here’s your PSA.
