Dear Friends of Chameleon,
I’m so excited to announce that after a couple of years of planning, my husband Stan and I will be selling our beloved Chameleon to our trusted, long-time manager and educator, Joy!
The transition will be effective the first week January 2023 and while bitter-sweet, I cannot be more happy with this decision. I have full confidence that you will continue to enjoy all your visits at Chameleon, for she will ensure that all your expectations will be met, as she takes Chameleon to the next level. In addition to the change with Chameleon, I will no longer be providing hair color or haircuts.
Going forward, I will be focused solely on my budding wedding and event business. I have worked very closely with Joy and the team to review all your color and cutting notes and have recommend a stylist from the team that you will be very happy with. Our guest care team will be contacting you very soon to schedule your upcoming appointments.
As I bid you farewell, please know how incredibly grateful I am to have had you as part of the Chameleon family. It’s been an amazing 23 years together and even many more with some of you.
Thank you for all you have shared with me during our visits. I will never forget you.
Your friend,
Carleen

I am excited and honored to be the new owner of Chameleon Salon, and I am dedicated to the clients of the past, present, and future. I am committed to providing the highest quality salon services, and I’m dedicated to bringing wellness to the community.
Thank you all for your continued support and love for our beautiful salon, staff, and to myself.
Have a blessed holiday season,
