Appleton, WI Business Shout Out: Grassroots A Salon

by Michelle Mangen on July 2, 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I happened across Grassroots A Salon in the most accidental way. Several months ago a Colorado gentleman known as @Kalalea on Twitter had started following me on Twitter as himself and his lovely wife, @debsoul, were going to be moving back to the Appleton, WI area.

Through conversation (and I really have no idea how it came up) I found out that he has strong ties with Grassroots. Ever since moving to Neenah from Milwaukee I had not found “my” hair stylist yet and of course, when I was referred to Tracey at Grassroots I decided to give her a shot at taming my hair.

Before I even stepped into the door I was impressed as they called the day prior to my appointment to remind me of the scheduled time. Once I got to the salon I was immediately greeted and offered something to drink. It’s a charmingly decorated space with very soothing colors and a spacious seating area.

I’ve never had so much fun while getting my hair done and during the course of conversation it was discovered that I went to high school and was friends with Tracey’s younger sister.

Of course, I have found “my” stylist and almost feel like family now when I visit. Of course, I am sure that Tracey would advise me to come more often but I’ve never really been one of those girls who gets their hair cut every 6-8 weeks. I’m a minimalist at best when it comes to hair!

Conveniently located on the outskirts of Downtown Appleton on College Avenue.

It’s an amazing salon and I am grateful to @Kalalea and @DebSoul for making the connection.

What a great post, Michelle! …and thanks for the “lovely wife” compliment. :0)

Finding a hairstylist we connect with can be one of the most important relationships we foster in life.

We’re so happy we were able to guide you to Grassroots a Salon…and to Tracey.

I love circles in life…how things connect…and how they continue to spiral deeper. Social Media amps up our ability to connect; LOVE that doubly much!

Thanks for sharing Grassroots with the world.

In Harmony… @debsoul

Thanks for the comment on the post! I’m really glad that I have you and Mark in my world – now with you in the area – no longer “virtual” in nature!

Looking forward to connecting more with you both in the future – TweetUps, business and wherever else the path may lead.

Thank you Michelle for the wonderful post. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet you and enjoy our time together (us small town girls have to stick together). I feel honored to be granted the title of “my” hairstylist and am honored to have you as “my” client. I am thoroughly looking forward to growing a stronger, lasting relationship and building further connections.

I especially like to hear about people that find stylists that give more than their customers expect. This brings incredible value to the customer as well as good referrals to the stylist … this is the way to do business.
