Meet the Founders

Lifelong friends with over 35 years of history, we first teamed up to run a successful salon nearly three decades ago. Through life’s twists and turns, our bond remained strong—and now we’ve come together again to launch a new chapter: a quality thrift store that blends our love for style and reinvention. Welcome to our latest adventure in timeless fashion and sustainable living.

As a former business owner and currently working in healthcare, I’ve always balanced hard work with a deep love for shopping. For over 12 years, I’ve dreamed of opening a space that celebrates style, sustainability, and self-expression—and now that dream has finally come to life. I’ve always had a passion for shoes, clothes, and the thrill of a great find. More than anything, I love connecting with people, working hard, and building something meaningful. This quality thrift store is more than a business—it’s the result of years of vision, dedication, and a true love for what I do.

With 38 years in the beauty industry and 33 as a salon owner, helping people look and feel their best has always been my passion. I believe a great outfit completes the look—and now, through our quality thrift store, I get to help others find stylish pieces at affordable prices. As the owner of an event center as well, my heart is in creating joyful experiences. I pour myself into everything I do, and I’m excited to see where this new chapter leads!
