Those who may be looking for the spa experience can find it in All About You Spa and Salon in Dublin.
The new business was welcomed by the Dublin Chamber of Commerce Saturday, June 22 at a ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening.
“We are so excited to have you guys as part of our community and as a chamber member,” Chamber board member Derris Lueck said.
The business owned by Blanca Lopez is located at 528 Gracie Street in a completely new building with a brand new address.
After nine years of working at Shear Heaven, Lopez decided to venture out into her new business.
“I honestly was thinking a small room added onto our home but my husband said, “No, we need to do this right,” she said, about her husband Julio Lopez. Throughout the process, her husband has been making sure everything was just right.
“His support is very important,” she said.
At the spa/salon, Blanca is in charge of all things hair – cuts, color, conditioning and all other services while her teammates Ryan Tyler will be offering massage therapy by appointment (to start out) and Isabel Ortiz will complete nail services including manicures and pedicures.
Blanca also offers permanent makeup, something she wants to focus on more in the future.
“The concept is more like a spa salon,” Blanca said. “At least that is my goal.”
The business owner said she left Shear Heaven because of a desire to grow the business and provide services not available elsewhere in Dublin.
“I’m very grateful to the community. I’ve been asking my clients what services they were wanting so they don’t have to drive to another city.”
Blanca said another consideration has been the influx of new people moving into the community, many of which are from bigger cities accustomed to having a wide range of services.
Blanca is supported in her new business by her husband and kids, Camila, Ximena and Gabriel Lopez.
Those unfamiliar with the services offered are invited to call Blanca with questions or go online to browse services at https://blanca-lopezall- about-you-llc.square. site or through Facebook. Appointments can also be made online.
