Last week a new organic lifestyle-friendly salon opened in the heart of Whitefish Bay. Cheane Sartler's (formerly Cowle) dream of owning her own salon came true when all the pieces came together for Honeycomb Salon, 111 E. Silver Spring Dr., in Whitefish Bay.
After getting her start at Vici Beauty School, Cheane spent 14 years building a clientele at Actaea Works and then Luxe in Shorewood. She also spent five years as a lead trainer helping other stylists learn the trade, but always wanted more. Enter side-stage: Honeycomb Salon.
A former medical office, Honeycomb is now filled with light and is warm and inviting. The space has a sunny, upbeat atmosphere and features six stylists who will focus on natural care products and styling. They come from a handful of other local salons and have a wealth of experience under their belts. (Including my sister, Kathy Buser.)
Honeycomb uses the color line All-Nutrient, which is void of parabens (preservatives often used in mainstream cosmetic products) and ammonia, as well as being sulfate- and gluten-free. Honeycomb also carries natural hair care lines such as Neuma, which is free from synthetic fragrances and other toxic ingredients.
Consumer-friendly VERB products – all of which are $14 – will be used in the salon and available to purchase. Every VERB product is cruelty-free, with no harmful sulfates, parabens or gluten. Clients will also get to experience products from Evo, a luxurious brand from Australia that is sulphate-, paraben-, dea-, tea- and propylene glycol-free products.
Brides to be, take note: Honeycomb wants to make your day even more special. The full-service salon will be a hub for weddings and specialize in making you, and your wedding party, the best they can be.
You'll see me again soon at Honeycomb, especially to see my stylist and sister, Kathy. So, make an appointment soon!
Carolynn Buser is one of Milwaukee's loudest and most adamant cheerleaders (don't dare try to disagree). She's the primary voice behind much of OnMilwaukee's social media and content direction, and apologizes in advance if she can be too sarcastic at times.
What else? She's a wine lover, closet trashy novel reader, beauty supplies addict and devourer of cheese (shocker for a Wisconsin born and bred girl, right?). She's also a bit of a foodie, which is a word most of you hate, we know. She works as hard as she plays - and that includes in the gym! So, you've probably seen her at one of the area's newest restaurant openings (and yes, she will share her opinions good or bad) or enjoying a cold one at a local pub.
All in all, Carolynn's a believer in positive thinking and will do her best to smack down your negative ones while writing about her city, her loves, quests and more.
