Health & Beauty

Unwind, refresh, and glow — because every great outing involves at least a little self-care. Our health and beauty offerings range from luxe salon services to waxing, facials, and skincare consultations, all in a space that’s warm, personal, and local.

Art of Hair (The Salon)

Located in a renovated Cotton Shed of Historic Savage Mill, once a textile mill built in the early 1800’s. Art of Hair (The Salon) has a modern decor with a bit of vintage flair. Forget what you know about hair salons, Art of Hair is everything – but, part art gallery, part lounge, part home, most of all a place where you feel at ease. Art of Hair is a Paul Mitchell Focus Salon – their focus is you and your hair needs. The owner has created a salon that is unique, beautiful and an extremely private place.

Experience the highly trained artists behind The Color Bar, unwind at The Wash House, and relax in their Comfort Lounge while allowing their stylists to provide top-notch cuts, color and cutting-edge hair treatments.
