Sara-ann Swanson, Owner |
|
Hair + Skin + HeadSpa
Sara-ann grew up on a small family farm with her parents and two younger sisters in Massachusetts. After receiving a degree in Fine Arts she moved to Boston and began her career in the beauty industry. She graduated from The Learning Institute For Beauty Sciences and worked at an upscale salon on Newbury Street in Boston. After feeling burnt out from two years in a fast moving and over-stimulating salon environment, Sara-ann decided it was time for change. She had six months of adventure and exploration while traveling cross country and eventually landing in Olympia.
From her time in Boston, Sara-ann recognizes the importance of self-care and taking time to nurture ourselves. The Beauty Temple was born out of a vision and longing to create a truly nurturing and intimate salon experience. In business for over 23 years, the Beauty Temple is a well known sanctuary to the community of Olympia and beyond.
Sara-ann enjoys spending time at home with family and friends, playing instruments and singing, and creating beauty and comfort in her home, yard and work space.
