Fringe Salon

or thirteen years, clients from throughout Santa Cruz County have had the pleasure of maintaining a professional and fabulous relationship with the hairstylists at the jewel in the crown that is Fringe Salon. Fringe Salon now has a completely fresh start and look in the Tree Circus Center on Scotts Valley Drive.

Determined to offer a funky, welcoming and upbeat salon to Scotts Valley and the San Lorenzo Valley, Heidi Vollers opened Fringe Salon. She was grateful to welcome the perfect group of stylists.

Heidi has worked hard to cultivate an environment where clients can feel pampered and cared for. Creating a lifelong bond with clients has always been her goal.

Fringe Salon has experienced ebbs and flows in its evolution, and the new location brings a welcome change. The stylists at Fringe offer a fresh outlook on

hair trends and maintain their education to suit their clients needs while also attracting new potential clientele. Fringe Salon is excited to reveal the curated components, updated stations, and overall thoughtfulness poured into the new location. The bright floral wallpaper and seventies-inspired colors are sure to be a welcoming home for all people.

With the new location, a new boutique-style construct also provides a space for community members to procure ecofriendly hair care and styling products and locally made items and hair accessories.

Located conveniently less than five minutes off Highway 17, Fringe welcomes walk-in clients to a revamped space where local hairstylists strive to grow their business and create some of the most beautiful hair in the county. Be sure to check out one of the only remaining Historic Tree Circus Trees in Scotts Valley right outside the door!

Tutoring Club of Scotts Valley H ow can students catch up academically during the summer break?

Parents and children have been struggling mightily, through Covid, to balance the demands of work, family and school. Surprisingly, our students are still asking for more academic help!

They know that the best time to focus on education is now.

The kind of help that students most often ask for is more classroom time with local teachers/tutors, in person.

In-person teaching /tutoring is not available from many local schools during the summer, but there is an alternative: The Tutoring Club of Scotts Valley is locally owned and operated with 18 years’ experience tutoring/ teaching students in the Scotts Valley and San Lorenzo Valley Unified School Districts—and it is open year-round, including the summer.

The “TC” is an academic resource familiar with most modes of online courses, in-person instruction, and the curriculum of your local school. We are college educated and Department of Justice screened, with deep subject-specific experience, across a wide spectrum of courses spanning liberal arts, science and math from kindergarten through college.

We are a one-stop-shop for students who need to cover a range of topics. We can help students use their own resources, or our in-house California-State-based material. Our Local community-based tutors are familiar with the local district and California graduation requirements.

We have a track record of helping over a thousand students, many of whom have graduated from Universities with AA,BA,BS,MA,MS,PhD degrees and teaching credentials.

As owners, we have real world

experience in the tech industry, as well as substitute teaching/tutoring for the Santa Cruz County Office of Education and the Scotts Valley unified school district.
