The Company Salon and Spa at 170 South Broadway in Saratoga Springs is open for business, offering a long list of hair care services.
Stylist and owner Brandon Scott said they opened as the coronavirus was hitting the Capital Region, but he has managed to stay open.
“It was a strange opening during COVID. It initially took the wind out of our sails, but we have been able to stay open thanks to our loyal customers who keep us going. I’m looking forward to the future and hope to continue growing. I grew up here in Saratoga Springs and I’m very happy to own a salon here,” said Scott.
Scott co-owns the business with Mary Martin. Scott has been a hairstylist for over 20 years, trained in New York City. He works with three other stylists who he said are on top of the latest style and product trends.
“We do men’s and women’s hair of all different types and textures. We specialize in many different things including coloring techniques such as balayage, foliage, teasy lights and shadow roots just to name a few. I’m also certified by Deva cut, which is a technique for cutting curly hair. We use Wella brand hair color and products. Wella is the number one professional hair color brand on the market,” said Scott.
He decided to open a salon after building up a clientele at a booth he was renting. He felt he had enough support to take the challenge on.
“Opening a business of your own can be overwhelming, but I was fortunate to have an experienced mentor in my friend and business partner Mary. Her experience, guidance, and support helped me realize my vision,” said Scott.
Location was key for the Saratoga native, Saratoga is where he calls home.
“I feel like I really know the people and the clientele here and I’m proud to own a business here in Saratoga. The location is working out great,” said Scott.
There is contact information for all the stylists on the website but they all encourage walk-ins. The process, he said, is to come in, put your name on a waiting list, and then safely wait in your vehicle until they are ready for you.
The Company Salon and Spa offers services including perms, full highlights, partial highlights, full color, root touchup, and haircuts.
