Some things will never change. It all began in 1984 with the hopes and dreams of a single person, Janelle Koncan-Nagy. Today Octagon is a team of fifty-plus bright and talented people who share a passion for bringing health and beauty to our world. Relationships and powerful connections with their guests define Octagon’s success. It is Janelle’s never-ending energy and inspiration that drive the creative process of all the artists at Octagon.
Octagon’s stylists have dedicated countless hours of continuing education after licensing to train with some of the best in the beauty and wellness industries. Director of Education, Evie Peterson, oversees a well developed program which assures every guest of their service provider’s high level of commitment and ability.
Octagon’s Certified Hair Extension team is headed up by Vicki Millard, who also leads the photo sessions that have resulted in Octagon’s work being regularly showcased in Passion International and Inspire Hair Fashion Stylebooks. Women no longer need to be embarrassed by thinning hair because beautiful, natural looking hair addition solutions are found at Octagon that are completely undetectable and comfortable to wear. For many women, this is a dream come true.
Men and women alike enjoy the professional touch of this outstanding Spa Team who help people of all ages to improve their skin, nails and level of relaxation. Upon entering the spa area, four heated reclining pedicure thrones invite you to lie back and relax as your feet are treated to a whole new look and feel. The waxing experts shape brows and get rid of any unwanted face and body hair with a gentle, warm soy based wax that wraps around each hair…not to the skin…for the most comfortable wax experience possible.
The skin care and relaxation rooms are clean, warm and quiet and it is easy to see why this is a popular place to be. The treatment tables are soft, comfortable, and lower to 14″ in heighth to accomodate easy access for guests who have special needs. Stress is melted away as massage and facial treatments are offered in a variety of ways to address each person’s specific situation. All services are personalized and delivered in a comfortable, safe environment.
The Octagon believes in giving back to the community through numerous charitable contributions all year long. Two of Octagon’s favorite hands on programs are serving with PADS homeless shelter as well as contributing to yearly treks to an impoverished villiage in Guatemala. Stylist Yahaira Torres made the trip to Guatemala this past May to work with orphans and the ”Save the Children” program.
One of Octagon’s guests, Anna Sheroni, founded a Wounded Soldier program and includes a day at Octagon in her itinerary of special events to thank these courageous men and women who laid it all on the line for their country. It has been one of the Octagon’s most humbling experiences and has been a great honor and priviledge to serve them.
It is easy to see why Octagon continues to be the leading hair salon and spa in this community. A 25 year reputation for operating with honesty and integrity is worth its weight in gold.
