Nicole Wheeler and Katie Klein made the decision to open Studio 6a Salon & Spa in January 2012.
We set out to create an environment that provides an amazing guest experience for everyone that enters into our salon space. We also wanted to focus on how to cultivate, nurture and impact our stylist to reach their fullest potential personally and professionally while creating beautiful skin, hair and nails.
Studio 6a Salon has developed a culture of honesty, Creativity, Friendship, and Vision.
With the support of each other, the possibilities of growth in our careers are endless…
In May of 2020, We made our next big career move and relocated to a larger salon on Detroit Rd. still in Westlake. The new salon spa is 3,000 sqft including: 13 styling chairs, 4 shampoo bowls, a color bar, nail room and 2 spa treatment rooms and became a Davines Concept Salon.
At Studio 6a it is our philosophy that beautiful hair makes a statement. To support our clients’ hair integrity in and out of the salon we use and recommend the following professional hair care lines: Davines, Moroccanoil and Olaplex .
Davines was founded in Parma, Italy in 1983. They had a vision to make sustainable haircare products. Starting in their garage, they did just that. As their company grew so did their passions. Humanity and respect for the environment grew ever more important, leading the brand to make most of its products carbon-neutral. In 2016 they became a B-Corp.
We fell in LOVE with Davines because it aligns with some of our same beliefs...
At Davines, we believe that the balance between beauty and sustainability, what we call “sustainable beauty", can improve our lives and the world around us. By creating “beauty" we want to encourage people to take care of themselves, the environment in which they live and work, what they love. For us, sustainability has to do with the responsibility we feel for ourselves, the people we work with, our customers, the world in which we live and work.
When we added a skin care line we wanted to have the same philospohy.. Because beautiful hair makes a statement but glowing skin IS a statement. Eminence skin care and Jane Iredale makeup the two skin lines that we believe in and protect our guest skin for harsh ingredients that are harmful to our body and our environment.
Eminence was founded in Hungry in 1958. We continue to use hand-picked fresh ingredients to create products that contain potent healing and beautifying properties. Many of these ingredients are combined with pure waters drawn from a thermal hot spring lake containing minerals and trace elements found nowhere else on earth. Like Davines Eminence is a Certified B Corps are held to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
We have chosen these brands because they are parallel to what we believe at Studio 6a that we are all in it together. Davines donates 1% of it profits various non-profits that impact the world. Eminence plants a tree for every product purchased. This year we have currently have planted 508 trees.
Another important element to our salon success has been getting involved with our community and partnering with non-profits that matter. We have built wonderful strong relationships with many of our local business that help us grow in the community and developing relationships with other salon owners. Businesses that work together grow together. One of our biggest accomplishments has been working with The Renee Jones Empowerment Center for victims of Human Trafficking.
When it comes to inside our salon staff would say that our team environment is the center of our culture. This is so important in a salon because when we work together, we can grow together keeping the guest experience as the most important focus.
As beauty professionals continuing to grow and develop with you career should Always be your focus! Trends change, techniques improve, ways to work behind your chair or in your spa rooms can always be reflective of your own personal path. What we know after being in the industry for over 22 years+ is that being apart of something keeps you inspired and driven.
