The owners of Nuance, a boutique salon,
are enjoying their new Malta location after
closing their former location at the end of
2015.
The salon opening its new doors at 513
Dunning St. in Malta shortly after the new
year.
Owner Holly Garofano said after being in
Halfmoon for nine years, she felt like it was
time to make a change. A resident of Malta,
she used to drive by what would become the
new location every day, admiring the building
and more importantly the convenient
location.
“My husband and I were excited when
the for sale sign went up and were able to
purchase it,” she said. “I am so happy to be a
part of the growing Malta community. I am so
excited to be more involved in the community
here and continue to provide our guests the
same incredible service they received at our
former location. It has always been a priority
to give back to the community that supports
our business so I am thrilled to work with my
fellow business professionals.”
Garofano said she had to get creative with
the current options for parking and worked
with the salon's neighbor, a McDonald's restaurant,
on a solution. They worked out a plan
to utilize a portion of McDonald's parking
lot in exchange for a donation to The Ronald
McDonald House. Garofano said they plan
to expand parking for patrons in the spring.
Malta is proving to be lucrative for the
salon, according to Garofano, who said they
have seen an increase in business.
She said the upscale salon sets itself
apart from others by offering the luxury of
a metropolitan salon in a local, comfortable
atmosphere.
"We are an exclusive Bumble and Bumble
salon, comprised of a small team of artists
that attend Bb University yearly and participate
in salon classes led by our Bb network
educator. We work hard to develop relationships
with our guests. We are a New York
City-style boutique salon that is home to a
team of passionate artists, elevating the craft
of hairdressing while delivering an original
experience," said Garofano.
She said Malta and surrounding communities
will benefit not only from having the
salon services, but also through her commitment
to giving back. She and her staff make
giving back to the community a priority.
"I am proud to say we have had the opportunity
to help many local organizations
including the Helping Hands School and
the Brave Will Foundation, To Life and the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society," said
Garofano.
