Pat Helmandollar didn't plan to own a salon for three decades in Cornelius. After running successful salons in West Virginia for 15 years, she moved to Lake Norman to be closer to family. A serendipitous opportunity arose when Haircuttery wanted out of a Lake Norman location.That was October 1995. Savvy Salon and Day Spa became the area's first full-service day spa, offering hair, nails, massage, skincare, and more.Pat's success came from personal connections. She built her business through Welcome Wagon house calls, community involvement, and word-of-mouth—long before social media existed.Her advice for aspiring entrepreneurs? "Don't go into it to make money, go into it as a passion. The money will come." She also stresses having strong family support, noting her husband handles bookkeeping and her daughter helps run operations.Savvy celebrates 30 years on October 11th with week-long specials, prizes, and half-price services on the 11th.<a href='https://savvysalonanddayspa.com/'>Savvy Salon & Day Spa </a>20430 W Catawba Ave SUITE 2 Cornelius, NC 28031--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lake Norman’s #1 Podcast & Email Newsletter The Best of LKN <a href='https://thebestoflkn.com/'>https://thebestoflkn.com/</a> Hosted by:Jeff Hamm<a href='http://www.lknreal.com'>www.lknreal.com</a> Produced by: <a href='http://www.epicjourneymedia.com'>www.epicjourneymedia.com</a>  Thanks to Safe harbor Peninsula Yacht Club for their support!<a rel="payment" href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/epicjourneymedia">Support the show</a>
