Chez Marquise Hair Studio, situated in Elliot Lake’s heart at 277 Hillside Drive South, is heralding its one-year anniversary with much jubilation. The hair studio has rapidly risen to prominence, becoming a favourite for many, providing a comprehensive range of services, from haircuts to colouring and highlights, in its initial year of operation.
The visionary behind this rapidly-growing venture is Marquise Genereux, the proud 27-year-old owner, operator and native resident of Elliot Lake. Marquise, with her undeniable passion for hairstyling, chose to embark on the entrepreneurial journey by opening her hair studio after honing her skills and accumulating industry experience.
Reflecting on the past year, Marquise commented on the phenomenal journey of starting and running her own studio. Her primary ambition has always been to establish a welcoming space where clients feel confident about their appearance. She added that community support has been integral to their success during the past year.
The operational days for Chez Marquise Hair Studio range from Monday through Saturday. They offer flexible timings to suit special events like weddings, proms, or celebrations. Marquise believes in accommodating clients’ needs by providing tailor-made services. She affirms that she thoroughly understands the importance of good grooming on special occasions.
Regarding her approach to customer service, Marquise explained, “I am careful to heed my clients’ wants to ensure that they get the perfect cut and style. In case a client wants a significant change, I provide professional advice on how to achieve and maintain their desired look.”
The studio encompasses three stylist chairs and a wash and set station. It provides an inviting and professional ambiance for clients. Marquise focuses on employing premium-grade products from renowned brands like Joico and Clairol. This commitment to quality guarantees that patrons receive exceptional hair care services.
Furthermore, Marquise exhibits a strong desire to uplift her community by donating gift certificates to various local charities. She stated, “Contributing to the community that has backed my business is vital to me. I believe in the ability to make a positive impact by giving back.”
In a nod to Elliot Lake’s bilingual community, Marquise offers a two-language service to her clients in English and French. This ensures that everyone feels genuinely welcomed and recognised.
Looking towards the future, Marquise plans to diversify her services and expand her team. She passionately stated her aspiration to incorporate more stylists into the studio and introduce other services like waxing. She also plans to introduce more at-home hair care products for clients to continue their beauty regime independently.
But Marquise’s vision goes beyond just expanding her business. She imagines turning the studio into a community hub that goes beyond just hair services. She plans to host events and workshops promoting self-care and wellness, cementing the business’s status within the community.
As the studio marks its impressive first anniversary, Genereux expressed her heartfelt gratitude towards all the clients for their trust and continued patronage. She eagerly anticipates continuing to serve the vibrant Elliot Lake community, helping people look and feel their absolute best.
