To our loyal family and friends who have supported our salon throughout the years:

Encore Studio prides itself on the values of quality, education, and family. We are committed to delivering the best possible service to you each and every day, while also continuously looking for ways we can be better. In keeping with these core values, we've taken the next and biggest step in our growth as a salon.

In early May 2021 Encore Studio will combine with Douglas J Salon, a family-owned Michigan business for over 50 years. You will still see our friendly faces working in the salon, as we don't plan on going anywhere. We love it here as much as you do and we look forward to providing you with the same service that we have for all these years.

Of course, you will notice some differences after the transition. Here are the main changes to be aware of:

• The location will stay the same (we love Kerrytown!), but the name will officially change from Encore Studio to Douglas J Salon.
• Nail services will no longer be offered as we shift our focus solely on doing what we've become known for - hair.
• We will offer more product choices with the addition of Aveda and continue to offer Bumble & Bumble and Kevin Murphy.

And finally, we want to say how much we have loved every moment and every memory made over the years, and we look forward to creating many, many more throughout the years to come. We are personally very excited as even though our relationship with Douglas J is relatively new, we already feel like a new family is growing. We hope and think you will feel the same way, and we look forward to working with you in the future and welcoming you to the Douglas J family.

Thank you for supporting us through each step of our journey! ❤️

-Ali, Michelle, and the Encore staff
