sometime late in 2015,
I was given an open seat on the roller coaster of business ownership. I began my cosmetology career in 2009 behind the chair as a booth rental stylist marching to the beat of my own drum in salons that always left me craving more. As the daughter of two entrepreneurs, salon ownership was always the goal for me, and being an amazing hair dresser was the only way to get there. So I hustled hard to learn everything I could about both hair and business so that when the time came I was ready to jump, and boy did I jump! On December 26th, 2015 before we even took down the Christmas tree, my family and friends helped me spend an exhausting ten days performing a massive ceiling to floor renovation on the first home of Honeycomb. On January 5th, 2016, we eagerly opened for our very first day of business with just three little chairs, and only two stylists!
Over the next few years, Honeycomb more than doubled the salon space creating the best environment for both new stylist and more services! We became home to 8 stylists, 1 lash artists, and 1 esthetician before taking another leap in a new direction in the fall of 2021. Growing up in Buford, I have always loved the character this sweet small town had to offer, and I finally found the perfect space to nurture the intimacies of my business. What is now known as The Tannery Row, The Bona Allen Company has been in operation since 1873. Once serving this community with jobs in the factory and the nation as the largest producer of leather goods. I absolutely love the vibe my little home offers, and I know you will too. If you have questions or just want to check it out, swing by and say hi anytime Tuesday-Saturday. I look forward to spending some time with you.
