Team of Experienced, Talented Professionals Make Hair, Heart & Soul a Success

Sarah Redman and her husband Michael purchased Hair, Heart & Soul, Inc. in 2003 and have continued to grow the successful spa and salon with a team of experienced, talented professionals. Hair, Heart & Soul is not your ordinary hair salon. See for yourself by visiting their web site at www.hairheartandsoul.com.

 
Originally located in 850 square feet of leased space on State Street in Bristol, the Redmans purchased a mixed-use property on Hope Street in Bristol in 2010. The new location consisted of 2,000 square feet of space on the first floor.

 
In 2011, the Redmans came to South Eastern Economic Development (SEED) Corporation seeking financing to expand their business. After receiving one-on-one technical assistance from SEED to prepare financial projections, the Redmans applied for and received a $50,000 SBA Microloan from SEED for working capital and to assist with the purchase of equipment. The microloan allowed Sarah to expand the business to the second and third floor, which now occupies the entire 4,864 square feet. The expansion allowed Hair, Heart & Soul to provide additional services, such as massage therapy and a wellness studio.

 
In 2013, the Redmans returned to SEED to seek another $50,000 loan for working capital. SEED is the SBA Microloan Intermediary for Rhode Island.

 
Hair, Heart & Soul is a one-stop shop with an artistic team of 21 employees that consists of hairstylists, estheticians, makeup artists, massage therapists, and airbrush sunless tanning professionals. They have also recently added a nutrition program and empowerment workshop, which educate clients on how to live a healthy lifestyle.

 
Sarah and her team focus their attention on providing excellent service and creating a positive family-like atmosphere, which makes this salon and spa so unique.

 
According to Sarah, “We simply love making people feel absolutely beautiful on the inside and out.” Hair, Heart & Soul takes their clients on a journey of relaxation and creates a memorable experience. Sarah has recently created a Hair, Heart & Soul Girls Spa Day, which is designed for girls to enjoy with a friend for a vacation-like day, close to home.

 
Sarah is also very proud of her salon’s involvement in numerous charities. She founded the Positively Pink Fashion for a Cause event, which benefits breast health awareness and is held annually at her salon.

 
In addition to giving back to the community, Hair, Heart & Soul also shows appreciation to their clients as well. On Friday, April 11th they held their first Customer Appreciation Night at the salon, where they provided a night of fun with complimentary drinks, appetizers and mini services.

 
Sarah has been in the spa and salon industry for 14 years as a hairstylist. She received her cosmetology license from the Arthur Angelo School of Cosmetology and went on to start her stylist training at Christian’s Salon in Providence. Sarah then ventured to Phoenix, Arizona where she worked at Rolf’s Salon & Spa. While in Arizona, Sarah was the hairstylist for the “Morning Makeover” segment every Monday on Good Morning Arizona. She was fortunate enough to have worked with and studied under some of the top stylists in the country, including renowned stylist James Morrison of Toni and Guy Salon Academy.
