Washington House Salon

Hey Washington Fam!

I will soon be closing this page. I just wanted to keep it active for the people that were reaching out and still reach out about finding a new salon and or stylist. Or just to ask how I’m doing which I do really appreciate!!

For those of you that don’t know two years ago I decided to get my mortgage broker license!!

Although I loved my life behind the chair for so many years, I can honestly say this career brings me so much joy. Being able to help people in a completely different way.

So for those of you asking, you can find me here:

Give me a follow and stay in touch! I’d love to serve you just in a different way now 🖤

Hey Washington Fam! Just want to be ABUNDANTLY clear! I DID NOT sell my business. I simply closed it. I am not affiliated with Aura Hair Studio at all. They simply took my space.

I am not usually one that has a difficult time putting in to words what I want to say but this time it’s different. I have sat here and typed and erased and typed and erased and so on.

So here it goes…

I have made a VERY difficult decision to close Washington House Salon permanently our last operating day will be August 31. This was not a decision that came easily or over night. This has been on my heart for a long time and it was finally time to take action on what I knew was right my for family and I.

Its important for me to explain that this closure isn’t happening because we are struggling. Quite the opposite. We are thriving and we always have. From the moment we opened we have thrived. We thrived through the pandemic and we are still thriving today. Its for personal reasons which is why this decision was so hard as I have always put the salon and my amazing team before my needs since opening the doors.

Owning the salon has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done. Its been the most beautiful thing for me to experience. Ups and downs and all arounds. The good and the very ugly, I wouldn’t change a thing. Owning this business has taught me some of my biggest life lessons and although hard they have shaped me in to who I am today and for that I am so grateful.

I have mentored some of the most amazing stylists some who still stand by me today (Natalie and Jaden I am forever grateful for your loyalty to Washington House Salon and grateful that you chose me as your mentor, you have both become family). I have had the most beautiful clients sit in my chair who have shared their lives with me and have since the beginning of my career almost 17 years ago. Even if you sat in my chair once you were and are a part of the story. I was lucky enough to educate for two of the largest brands in the hair industry. I have traveled all over Canada and the USA learning and teaching. I have truly been blessed over these last 11 years as a salon owner and almost 17 as a stylist.

Although I am stepping away from the chair and this business I want to assure you that you have chair to return to. The space is being leased to another salon/barber shop where Jaden and Andreia will continue to work. You will always receive the up most care from these two and they will do everything they can to accommodate as many of you as they possibly can.

I know I know what you’re thinking. WHAT ABOUT NATALIE!!! Natalie has also decided to step away from the chair. Natalie is ready to embark on a new adventure and we can’t wait to watch what that is going forward. We were both ready for something new!

Again, our last day of operation will be Saturday August 31. With that said back to school appointments are quickly filling up! So be sure to book yours in today!!!

Most of you already know this if you have had an appointment in the last month or two. Please keep an eye open here and on Instagram for contact info for the salon/barbershop that is taking the space. That is where you will find Jaden and Andreia.

Some of you I hadn’t had a chance to say goodbye to. Just know that I cherish each and every one of you. I cherish everything you ever shared with me. I have experienced so much with my clients over the years. From marriage to divorces, from cancer to growing your hair back, from losing loved ones, even finding long lost family members, from babies to miscarriages you name it I have lived it with you in my chair. And a lot of you experienced most of these things with me too.

There will never be enough words to explain how much you have all meant to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the last 11 years as a salon owner so special and for supporting my small business. And thank you to all the clients who have literally been with me since I started my career almost 17 years ago. It’s something I will never forget.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out here on Facebook or Instagram with any questions that you have. I’m an open book!

We look forward to serving you over the month of August and making all your back-to-school dreams come true!!!

Sincerely,

Cecile Washington

Experienced every single one of these with many of you! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

It’s never “just doing hair.” It’s about being that safe space where my clients can come to share anything they need 🤍

🙊🙊🙊

Us beauty artists will solve all your problems! 👋🤗 @kate.finkelshteyn @artistbeautylounge @hairbyjasonnyc . . . . #pmu #pmuartist #hairstylist #hairsalon #beauty #tattoo #reels #funnyvideos #haircolorist #ombrebrows #eyelashextensions #skincare

This is why 🖤

I cut my clients hair without the correct posture just to show you how important it is to tuck your chin completely under when we cut your hair , this was easily corrected by me popping my clients head into the correct position 🤍

And we wouldn’t have it any other way! We appreciate you! Sharing every moment with you good or bad! We’re here for it!

Just a few of the many experiences I’v had with my clients while just playing with hair. Some may think we “just do hair”, but those who do hair truly know it’s so much more than that. Our clients open up to us, sharing their ups, downs, and everything in between. As hairstylists, we do the same, offering not just hair advice, but a genuine connection. It’s the real conversations and shared moments that make our job so much more than just doing hair. Love this trend♥️❤️‍🩹 #hairstylist #hairstyliststruggles #justhair

We share it all with you…

We hear it all…

We see it all…

And we feel it all with you…

🖤

I feel so lucky to go to work every day and truly love my Job. 💕 Some days are harder than others but I would not change it for the world. My clients are like my family who happen to leave with beautiful hair 💕💕 #hairdresserlife #hairstylistlife #hairdressersofinstagram #manchesterhairdresser #hairdresserlove
