Sydney Reichart is the new owner of the Shear Gold Salon and Spa at 1456 Route 9P on the north end of Saratoga Lake.
The salon is a well-established business and Reichart worked there for three years before buying it in April.
The new owner is a licensed cosmetologist who trained at the Paul Mitchell School in Schenectady. She is joined by three other cosmetologists and an esthetician. For now, the four employees work for Reichart on a commission basis but, she said she expects them to be ready to practice on their own at the shop after six months to a year of training. They will have the opportunity to build their own clientele.
Shear Gold offers a range of hair services—including Hollywood blowouts— as well as facials, eyelash and eyebrow enhancements, makeup, manicures, and “anything that enhances appearance,” she said.
So far, she said business has been “phenomenal.” She already had an established clientele and is building from there. She said she “loves it. … We all enjoy coming to work everyday.”
The salon is located in the Stewart’s Plaza at the head of the lake. The telephone is 518-886-1099.
The salon is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
