A note from our owner

I was given some advice not too long ago, from the greatest man I know as I was going through an extremely hard time. “Aarica, you were going in a direction that God didn’t want you to go. He has probably been dropping you some hints to change your direction, but you haven’t paid attention. So.. now you have been hit hard, and now you need to stop. Stop trying to control things, sit back and let God lead you to where you need to be.” Ever since my dad told me this, I have done exactly that. I thank the Lord every day for where he has brought me, the beautiful people he allows me to be surrounded by, and for just being with me.

I have been a salon owner since July of 2006, with opening my first salon in St. Michael. Our second salon opened in August of 2007. In 2011 we closed our St. Michael location and consolidated to Albertville. With the boom of stylists and massage therapists we quickly ran out of room, so with 9 months of negotiating and 2 ½ months of building, my dream has finally been completed! Being an owner has never been a walk in the park for me, and I would be lying if I said it was. However I have learned what I know now (of course the hard way) but I wouldn’t change one thing about it. I am not a perfect person, and never will expect to be. What I can tell you is, I love what I do, and my team here makes me who I am, and this salon what it is. Without them, I have no idea where I would be. This salon was built for my amazing team, in which whom I adore and who stand beside me in all I do. Much love to you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and allowing me to become a better person.

I hope when you walk through our doors, you can see the amount of hard work and love that was put into our 3,300 sq. ft. salon. We here at Insparationsalon strive to give the best services possible, all while you relax and have fun! Our team is made up of fun loving people who met as co-workers and have moved that relationship into friendships. We are all unique (sometimes quirky) and love, love, love what we do! From chemical services to haircuts, massages to facials, manicures to pedicures, and full body waxing we have got everything you need right here. So if you haven’t been here yet, please do give us a try, as I will promise you won’t be disappointed! If at any time you need to speak directly with me, feel free to call me at the salon or email me at Aarica@insparationsalon.com! I look forward to meeting each of you and continuously seeing you at Insparationsalon!


With love ~
