Business Transition At Sassy Scissors
A   nice   group   gathered   to   watch   the   ribbon   cutting   at   Sassy   Scissors   on   Monday,   June   28,   to   mark   the formal   transition   of   the   full-service   cosmetology   business   from   former   owner   Donna   Sims   to   current   owner Katie Piner.  Ms.   Sims,   who   has   been   serving   her   clients   for   40   years,   is   retiring.      She   opened   her   business   in   1981   in this   building   which   she   had   constructed   for   the   purpose.      She   is   a   graduate   of   the   “Little   French   Beauty Academy” in Princeton. Ms.   Piner,   a   graduate   of   the   cosmetology   training   program   at   New   River   Community   and Technical   College in   2019,   has   purchased   the   business   at   101   Clay   Street, Alderson,   and   will   continue   to   offer   hair   dressing services   as   well   as   manicures,   pedicures,   facials,   waxing,   and   spray   tans.      Plans   include   the   addition   of massage at a later date.  Ms.   Piner   said,   “I   am   really   excited   to   start   this   business   in   my   home   town.   Donna   used   to   cut   my   hair when I was little and now I am the owner.  It is hard to believe!” Ms.   Sims   said,   “It   is   bitter-sweet   to   be   leaving.      I   want   to   thank   all   those   who   used   my   services   over   the years.  But, you could not be in better hands.  I hope you will support Katie like you have supported me.” Alderson   Main   Street   President   Judy   Lohmeyer   said,   “We   are   so   happy   to   have   this   business   transition   to a new owner.  We wish Katie every success!” Ms.   Piner   can   be   reached   at   Sassy   Scissors   at   304-445-2667   and   business   hours   are   Tuesday-Friday from 10-5 and Saturday from 10-1.
