Local business celebrates it's 10th Anniversary!

fresche, a thriving local business celebrates it's 10th year in Atlanta!

As a small business, celebrating 10 years is no "small" accomplishment.  Owner/Stylist, Joi Rooks, says "Making it through 2008 & 2009 was like climbing a huge mountain to survive.  But, we made it and are so thankful to our loyal clientele and friends who have supported us over the years."fresche first opened its doors in Grant Park in 2003. It was located in a historic movie theatre and quickly became known as the best place in Atlanta to get amazing customer service and the latest-greatest style! After being open for 2 years, fresche was voted Best Salon in Atlanta, and Best Colour Salon. The 2nd location was open in Oakhurst in 2006, and has now expanded to house 8 of Atlanta's most talented stylist, local artist work and hand-made gifts. Then in 2008, fresche was awarded Best Men's Grooming Salon.  The Oakhurst salon is situated in the heart of a thriving community, where the locals truly hang out together to share their families, stores and some wine!  "We love our clients, they have become a part of our history and we know they love us too." In 2012, fresche (f2) opened in Stone Mountain, where other Decatur based businesses, like The Village Vets have also opened locations. Celebrating its 1 year Anniversary on Valentine’s Day, fresche has already become very popular to the locals and is quickly becoming known as the best salon in the Mountain Park/Lilburn area.  Housing local artist work, hand-crafted gift items, greeting cards, candles and more ~ there's many reasons to stop by the boutique at either location. February marks the 10th Anniversary for fresche opening and ironically the 1st year for the Stone Mountain location. "We are celebrating 10 years of creativity and making people feel good.  I wanted a salon where clients would feel like they were hanging out at their friend’s very comfortable home and getting an amazing haircut or colour service", says owner and lead stylist, Joi Rooks. "I am so happy when I hear that someone feels at home, or that they love that we have wine, tea and cookies, but I am even happier when I look around and see people smiling and beautiful hair walking out our doors." “I have always felt blessed to have a business within a community where we are truly a part of our client’s daily lives. We do much more than their hair, we build lasting relationships and they become our extended family.” fresche will host a spring hair show to expand on its 10 year celebration, but for the month of February you can take advantage of some of the Top "10" deals! Thank you for welcoming us to this community, embracing our philosophy and letting us become a part of your lives. We have a lot planned for the coming year!  www.fresche.net
