Community New partnership helps drive John Gay Salon LSUBMTiTED] Haa® QSXjjnBgygfl Sgflauto tfl»Vtvi 10»Vvi 11 Bfeitfrni, a fiKfa BY REBECCA BUNCH J Staff Writer | ■ A business partnership that began in January between two friends is still going strong. At that time John Gay, found er of John Gay Studios, and businesswoman Marion Des Jardins, became co-owners of the salon located in downtown Edenton. “I'm the business end of it," said DesJardins, who is now the primary owner of the busi ness. Gay remains the creative force behind the salon that has been open for three years. DesJardins, who had 43 years of experience in operating her own highly successful hair sa lon as well as a retail boutique and antique business that bore her name, retired in 2003 after Hurricane Isabel caused sig nificant damage to the build ing that housed her business. At the time, her husband was gravely ill and she decided not to try and reopen, she said. “I came down here (salon) just because John and Steve (Stonebraker, John’s partner) needed me,” she said. Gay said he has been pleased with the results. “We’ve done exceptionally well,” he said. “Every day we re getting new customers, refer rals from somebody." Gay remains the exclusive local distributor for Goldwell products. He also is making available a new skin care line developed to benefit aging skin affected by the environment and sun damage that is based on scientific research. The prices the salon charges for its services, he said, are based on experience and qual ity. The business offers a total salon experience that includes quality hair and skin care, man icures, pedicures and facials. Always looking for the best the salon can offer, Gay said, new things are being added all the time. Specials offered by the salon appear regularly on Facebook, Gay said. The salon is open Monday through Saturday. Walk-ins are welcome. For an appointment or more information, call (252) 368l 1175.
