STROUDSBURG, Pennsylvania _ Phylicia Crowe and Amber Rodriguez, owners of Indulgence Hair Studio, have purchased a two-story building at 501 Sarah Street and plan to move their salon to the new location when renovations are complete in early summer. An apartment on the second floor of the building will remain. The first floor where the salon will be located currently is empty.

Jeff Barber of Lehigh Financial Group LLC arranged the commercial financing so that the salon owners could purchase the new location and make the necessary renovations.

Crowe and Rodriguez have known each other for 17 years having met working in the same salon. They moved to different salons together and agreed to open their own salon, Indulgence Hair Studio, on Monroe Street six years ago. Their new location is about three blocks away.

The salon owners were excited about the new location as soon as they saw it.

“The reason that we wanted the space is because we are growing and wanted to be a more permanent member of our downtown community,” Rodriguez said. “The location is great as it has great visibility and a larger space with more opportunity.”

The building was gutted and updated a few years ago.  “It’s all new and beautiful,” Crowe said. Still, some plumbing and electrical work is needed. The salon owners expect to open at the new location June 28. “We have our projected opening date already,” Rodriguez said.

The new salon will have six stylists and a receptionist as does the current location, but more staff may be added at a later time, Rodriguez said.

Indulgence Hair Studio offers haircuts, the latest trends in hair coloring, hairstyling including special occasion hair, conditioning treatments, professional makeup application, and facial waxing. “It’s our mission to provide a comfortable environment for our customers to truly indulge themselves with our offered services,” Crowe said.

Their real estate agent, Troy Breen of Keller Williams Realty in Stroudsburg, recommended Lehigh Financial Group to the salon owners. Crowe said it was a great recommendation as Barber did a terrific job helping them secure the financing they needed.
