Bliss Salon and Spa Named Small Business of the Month

By bliss on Thursday, March 1st, 2012 | No Comments

From the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce…..

March Small Business of the Month: Bliss Salon & Spa

What do you do if your employer is closing the business? Open your own. That’s what cosmetologists Bethany and Aaron Tyrrell decided in 2005.

“We needed somewhere to work, so we created a place,” Bethany Tyrrell says of opening Bliss Salon & Spa at 3730 Rome Drive, www.bliss-salonspa.com, 765/807-0343.

High-energy Salon, Relaxing Spa

What they created is much more than a business—it’s a place where they tailor customer service to their high standards and provide a high-energy salon on one level and a very relaxing spa on the other level, Tyrrell says.

Drawing on the definition of “bliss”—“extreme happiness or spiritual joy,” the Tyrrell’s embraced that as the foundation of their business. “We strive to incorporate bliss into each guest reservation,” she says.

The business provides hair, skin and nail care and massage. Services include facials, eye treatments, waxing, hot rock massage, expectant-mother massage, a de-stress aromatherapy cocoon, the energize body wrap, a seven-hour “day of bliss” and more.

Award-winning Business

Besides winning a loyal customer base and word-of-mouth referrals, the business landed a top professional award in 2011—second place in product supplier Prive’s national contest. The prize included a trip to Mexico and education by Prive’s artistic director at Bliss.

This month, it wins the Greater Lafayette Commerce Small Business of the Month Award.

Business Enjoys Repeat Business, Referrals

Bliss Salon and Spa employs 14—seven stylists, a licensed massage therapist, two aestheticians, a salon manager, salon coordinator and two receptionists. “Every one of our service providers is phenomenal,” Tyrrell says. “I couldn’t ask for a better staff.”

“Business has been very consistent,” she says. “Customer loyalty is the biggest thing. We’re very thankful for the community support we’ve received and for the priority our clients put on self-care.”

Sharing its bounty with the community is also a hallmark of the business. Some of its benefactors include American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, the MDA Lock Up and others.

Lafayette Natives

The Tyrrells are both Lafayette natives and graduates of McCutcheon High School. Bethany began her studies at Lafayette Beauty Academy while in high school.

“I tried it and love it,” she says of her career choice.

Aaron continued in cosmetology for a while after opening the business and still owns it with his wife, but he now works in an auto body shop.

Outside the business, Bethany enjoys running and Aaron, working out.

“We do love to travel,” she says, “but not lately, since we opened Bliss and had a baby.” Their daughter Acelinn is three, and their family also includes Tank, a yellow lab.

Open Six Days a Week

Bliss Salon and Spa hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Fridays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Hair Salon in Lafayette Goes to the Birds

By bliss on Thursday, June 9th, 2011 | No Comments

Bliss Salon and Spa, one of Lafayette’s top hair salons, has literally “gone to the birds”.

Bliss Salon has announced it is featuring feathers for hair extensions. According to Bliss Salon and Spa owner, Bethany Tyrrell, feather hair extensions are taking off. “Bliss has always been on the cutting edge of new techniques and style – feather extensions are hot!”

Jennifer Love Hewitt

Part of the popularity has come from the bright and bold plumage worn by top models during recent runways of Cushnie et Ochs and Gucci. Popular celebrities like Jennifer Love Hewett, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Steven Tyler, and Hilary Duff have all contributed to the popularity of this season’s hot look.

One of the reasons that many feel are leading to the popularity is that many people in looking for a budget-friendly way to dress up their hair. Economic conditions have forced many fashion lookers to go for less money options, but they still want to make an impact. Feather hair extensions offer an inexpensive alternative to more costly highlights.

Other reasons that feathers have become popular is that they can endure the stress of normal everyday hair care. They can be curled, shampooed, blow-dried and they can also be worn in straight or curly hair!

If you are looking for something different and at a very affordable cost, give Bliss a call at (765) 807-0343.

Benefits of Day Spas in Lafayette IN

By bliss on Thursday, February 3rd, 2011 | No Comments

If you are wondering the real value of day spas in Lafayette, IN, it is really very simple. People today are very busy and they often put themselves last on the list to take care of.

No matter how busy you are, taking care of yourself should always be a top priority. Many people have so many difficult challenges to face that they often feel the effects of a stress-filled life. Studies have been conducted and show that stress is one of the major causes of various illnesses. It is a great idea to make sure that you take the time to take care of your body and give yourself time to unwind and relax. This relaxation is a necessary means to get rid of the stress that has built up on a daily basis.

One way of doing this is by doing spa treatments. This treatment has many benefits that it can offer. Reducing or eliminating stress is just one of them. It is very important that you should stay away from stressful people and situations if possible. It will help you have positive thinking and you would be able to control your emotion. Eliminating stress makes you more patient and some little things that seem to annoy you before would not affect you anymore.

Spa treatments also offer ways to relieve joint and muscle pains caused by over work. If you want to give your self a reward for the things that you have accomplished, then going for spa treatments would be a good idea. This treatment also rejuvenates and helps to improve you physically and psychologically. Some spa treatments also offer body massage that will make your body pains go away.

Day spa treatments not only offer extreme relaxation and pleasure, but the health benefits are something to always keep in mind. When you are feeling stressed out or overly fatigued, try day spa treatments in Lafayette to get back to normal. Sometimes the most difficult part of a day spa treatment is merely setting up the first appointment. Once you start, you’ll understand how much the treatments can help and you’ll not think twice to set up a massage or other treatment again.

The Right Hair Salon in Lafayette, IN for You – How Do You Choose?

By bliss on Thursday, December 30th, 2010 | No Comments

Finding the right hair salon in Lafayette, Indiana may take a little research. People spend countless hours thinking about, washing, conditioning, and fixing their hair into a style that looks right for them. In order to get the look you want, it is important to find a hair salon that is just right for you. Stylists who work in the top hair salons in Lafayette have some helpful advice for those who are looking for the right hair salon for them.

Arrange for a time to take a tour of Bliss

The best way to find out the right salon is word of mouth. Stylists in the top hair salons recommend that you should look for other women who have great hair styles and ask them where they go. An even more important tip would be to specifically look for people who have a great cut that have the same general hair type and texture as you. Asking others where they get their hair done is actually considered to be a great compliment, and most of the time you will get a wealth of information as to the best place to go.

Sometimes people are under the impression that the best salons are the ones who have the nicest, newest buildings and are the priciest in town Not so, say stylists at the top hair salons. While a great-looking salon with lots of extra amenities and all of the bells and whistles may be the best place to go, this is not always the case. Paying more for a style does not ensure that you will get the best cut that is right for you. Often, the smaller mom and pop types of salons are just as good, if not better choices. The smaller salons often have stylists who have had lots of great experience. As they may not be as busy as the larger salons, they should also have more time to actually listen to the needs of their clients and to make suggestions as to various cuts and styles.

Stylists at the top hair salons advise that you pay close attention to the little things in a salon. If the office appears to be dirty or in disarray, don’t go there. Also, if the stylist has poor hair and it looks damaged or messy, this represents a red flag that they will not have an interest in paying attention to the care of your hair either. It is also important to choose a stylist that has a personality type that works well with your own.

Of course, we hope that your choice will be at Bliss Salon and Spa. You can always call in and arrange for a tour of our facilities and to talk with one of our stylists – no obligation. We hope to see you some day in our salon!

Choosing Hair Salons Lafayette IN – Do They Keep Current?

By bliss on Thursday, October 21st, 2010 | No Comments

When choosing a hair salon in Lafayette IN, one important thing to consider is how up to date the salon and stylists are.

One of the big reasons that people make a change to a new stylist or salon is that they feel their current stylist never tries anything new. Some feel that they’ve had that same old look forever and want a change. The problem is that they don’t feel their current stylist is able to help them.

One of the questions to ask a new salon or stylists is if they keep current on hair fashion. Ask them what they believe the new trends in hair fashion is and see what they say. You may even ask them about their most recent hair show. If they respond about the show they went to 5 years ago, you may want to consider someone else, as fashion changes constantly.

We’ve always felt it important to keep our stylists current. On September 27, we actually closed our entire salon so our stylists could attend the Chicago Fashion Focus. Many new styles and techniques were shown – it was a great way to keep current!

If you’ve never been to a hair show, here is a brief video to let you know what it’s like.
