A new Salon has opened for the start of the new decade at the corner of 5th Street and S. Carson Street, across from the Ormsby House.
Owner Cindi Miller moved to Carson City twelve years ago, and always had her eyes set on becoming a Salon owner. Now, she’s opened Pure Platinum Salon and Spa, located at 501 S. Carson St.
She worked at the now-closed Platinum Salon in Carson City, and once it closed, several of the stylists who had worked at the popular salon went into business for themselves, as Miller is doing now.
“I really thought, ‘what do I want to do for the new decade in 2020?’” said Miller. “I thought, ‘I’m ready.’”
Miller secured her new location on the top floor of the building at the corner of S. Carson Street and 5th Street and quickly got to work remodeling the suite to fit her needs as a stylist and salon owner.
The salon is well lit with high, wide windows, white walls and new flooring, and the windows give a bird’s eye view to the goings on of Downtown Carson, which is great for people watching.
There are still two hair stations available, and the salon is looking for a nail technician. An aesthetician is moving in shortly, who will be providing all manner of skin care remedies, and applications are being taken for a massage therapist. Miller has also reached out to the local beauty school to offer apprenticeship opportunities to current students.
Miller herself is a Redken-certified Color Specialist, and hopes to follow in the footsteps of Platinum in having her salon become a “Redken Elite Salon,” which would open up education opportunities for stylists.
“One of the things that got me interested in this career at 19 or 20 is that I always knew that I wanted a family one day, and knowing that, I also like to be able to provide,” said Miller. “In this line of work, you can take the trip to Disneyland, you can go up to the mountain to go skiing with the family for the day, or volunteer in the classrooms; you still get to feel like a mom while also being a provider, and that’s really special.”
You can learn more about the Pure Platinum Salon and Spa by stopping by at 501 S. Carson Street on the 3rd floor, accessible by elevator or stairs, or by visiting her professional facebook here.
