  • Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA (1888PressRelease) July 12, 2008 - 7015 N Greeley Ave. has been a hair salon for over 40 years. The new owners of Chameleon Salon & Day Spa are continuing this tradition. Shannen Knight and Madelyn Zappey bought Chameleon Salon in May and have spent the last 2 months renovating the salon. Co-owner Shannen Knight said “We have changed the salon from top to bottom with new floors, paint, lighting and more. You won’t recognize the place.” Besides hair and nail services, the new owners have also added spa services such as facials, waxing, skin care treatments, and spa pedicures, and they plan on offering massage and tanning in the future. Co-owner Shannen Knight continues “We even are offering vegan versions of our regular services including vegan manicures and salt glow body scrubs”. “Most people don’t know that what makes nail polish shimmer is fish scales. With our vegan manicure, the nail polish uses sea shells for the shimmer effect instead.” Vegan services are offered at an additional cost.

    The new Chameleon Salon still has some of the same touches with unique antique vanities as the hair stations and brightly colored walls. But besides the name, Chameleon is a new salon. The new owners only purchased the name from the previous owner. “We have new stylists, new service options, and we even have a frequent customer loyalty points program.” says Shannen Knight. The loyalty program allows you to earn free services and retail products. “We want to offer customers the benefits of a full service salon, in a relaxed, fun environment and at reasonable prices.” The renovations took longer than expected. "The original plan was to just buy the salon, maybe throw up a fresh coat of paint, and open the doors for business. Once we got inside, though, it quickly became clear that the salon needed much more than some cosmetic touch-ups, it needed a complete face lift. We kept the funky feel, but we got rid of the funk. We are finally open for business again!”

    Chameleon Salon & Day Spa is a full service salon and day spa. It is located at 7015 N Greeley between Lombard and Rosa Parks Blvd. They are open 7 days a week, 10am to 8pm weekdays, 10am to 6pm on weekends. Walk ins are welcome (vegan services by appointment only). 503-286-3711 or www.chameleonnw.com.
