Owner Denise Heidecker’s grandchildren, Bella Beecher and Maverick Botyd, cut the ceremonial ribbon with help from Cherity Parish, left, Mayor Tony Ketchum, right, and Heidecker herself during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at NexGen Children’s Salon in Centralia on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
The new business is located at 1000 Kresky Ave., Centralia.
In a news release from the chamber, Heidecker said the goal of the business is to provide children with a fun, positive and welcoming salon experience where they can feel comfortable being themselves.
“I wanted to create a place where kids can be kids, where they can laugh, wiggle, talk our ears off, change their minds halfway through a haircut, and where it’s OK to ask, ‘Are we done yet?’ 47 times,” Heidecker said.
Heidecker brings 31 years of professional hairstyling experience to The NexGen Children’s Salon. She is also a stylist at her established business, Evolution Hair Design & Spa, which she proudly opened 17 years ago.
