Dragonfly Studio and Salon focuses on natural health and wellness. By Alicia Greco THE SUN EDITOR
Dragonfly Studio and Salon has been open for nearly four years. The building has a home-like feel and the services provided are diverse, all encompassed by natural and positive vibrations. A space filled with hamsa hands, crystals and artwork, the multi-purpose establishment draws inspiration from the dragonfly. “They’re very spiritual, I feel. I relate to them in the fact that they can do so many different things,” said salon and studio owner Sarah Mansouri. “They’ve always brought me good luck ... They’ve been around millions of years. They’ve evolved and maintained. They’re kind
of resilient.” As stated on the studio and salon’s website, a dragonfly is “symbolic of renewal, positive force and the power of life in general. A sense of self that comes with maturity, new light and joy, good luck, swiftness, purity, harmony, strength, happiness, courage, subconscious thoughts, new beginnings, hope, love and financial wealth.” At the Dragonfly Studio and Salon, there is an emphasis on active health and wellness. “We’re completely into natural health. We’re into balancing mind, body and spirit. Which I think is kind of unique, for us,” Mansouri said. “We use all organic and vegan hair care. So everything we do respects personal health and the environment.
So that’s really our philosophy. Everything we use is the safest, healthiest as possible.” Products used at the salon reflect that stated mantra. Bottles of the Surface hair care line sit in a row in the salon beside a symbolic Tree of Life painting that Mansouri did on the wall. That product line “completely respects personal health and the environment. It’s all organic, fair-trade, vegan and gluten-free,” she said. Dermologica® is a botanical-based skin care line that Dragonfly uses. For nail care, the salon will do natural manicures and gel manicures, except the product that Dragonfly uses is a “breathable gel,” which eliminates much of the postremoval nail softness that can
come from other gel manicures. Pedicures are all one-time use at the salon. A disposable liner allows for safer service with no cross-contamination. Waxing, facials and spraytan are a few other services that the salon provides. Massage therapy service is provided at the salon by her husband, Mak Mansouri. On the studio side of Dragonfly Studio and Salon, Mansouri provides a variety of services including photograBy Alicia Greco phy which is her other pasTHE SUN EDITOR sion. “I did photography first, As a part of this year’s Edbut I did a lot of hair and makeup in my photography,” ucational Speaker Series for the town of Clarence Youth Sarah Mansouri said.
