We love to learn about what draws businesses to Willoughby Town Centre.  We recently had the pleasure of connecting with Era Hair Studio owners Valbona and Stephanie.

Era Hair Studio will be opening in early 2018 in the new buildings.

 

When we asked Valbona and Stephanie what prompted them to make a decision to have open Era Hair Studio at Willoughby Town Centre, they shared that Valbona lives just up in Walnut Grove and Stephanie lives just 2 blocks away from the salon. Being residents of the Willoughby/Walnut Grove area, they decided to open their own salon to be close to home!

They love the Willoughby neighbourhood, while it is busy, it’s still a small community with lots of kids and families, like their own.

A little about the company

Era was created by Valbona and Stephanie, good friends and former co-workers at a previous salon. Their dream was to open a salon ever since gaining their licences, so when the opportunity to open a salon in Willoughby happened, both had the same vision to fulfill their dream. It is very important to them that every client that walks through their door, receives the best customer service experience possible. They want to separate themselves from the rest by being personable, reliable and trustworthy. The customers’ experience is their number one priority and they want to make sure that they have an amazing experience and are satisfied with their service.

The color lines and product line they will be using is Keune.

They will also be participating in a green circle program which is an environmentally conscious way of disposing of their materials such as color, hair, foils etc.

Taking part in the community

It is important to both Valbona and Stephanie that they will do their part in the community. They  have decided to pair up with local businesses and help each other out! It is so important to support local businesses as we all have essentially the same vision, and that is, to be successful. Building each other up and promoting those businesses makes for wonderful customer experience.

We interviewed Samantha, who with her husband Shawn, are the owners of the new fitness centre offering functional training to Willoughby Town Centre in the Spring of 2018.

What prompted you to make a decision to open an F45 at Willoughby Town Centre?

Long story short – health, fitness and helping others has always been my passion. Having been born and raised in Sydney, Australia, the idea of F45 Training being an Aussie concept really got me sold on the idea.  We chose Willoughby Town Centre  because we live 5 minutes away ourselves. Willoughby is such an up and coming area with so many young families just like ours, now making Willoughby their home.

Shawn and I decided that this concept would be a perfect fit for the Willoughby demographic. Like minded people wanting to get fit and healthy, with very limited time. We are within walking distance for many local residents and are excited to become a part of the local and neighboring community.

Can you share a little about F45 ‘s History and Concept?

F45 Training was founded in Australia in 2012. By the end of 2018, there will be 1000 locations worldwide. The concept is simple: our studios all over the world offer a 45 minute High-Intensity, Circuit Training workout class for our studio members. We have developed 27 different 45 minute workouts, with more currently in development. Our studios offer the same class at different times throughout the day. Every day throughout the week offers a different 45 minute workout. The workouts are created by the F45 Athletics and Peak Performance Department from a database of over 3,000 different exercises, so our members never get the same workout twice.

Did I mention, we also have LIVE music by a DJ spinning the tunes for many of our workouts!! We offer a nutrition plan to compliment our workout program. We offer the entire package! Not sure about committing?….You have the choice of a “no commitment” membership too! WIN WIN!!

Stay tuned for our pre-opening Foundation Membership that we will offer to our first 45 member’s 🙂
