Tiffany’s Unique Boutique celebrates grand opening
Owner Tess Orvis held her grand opening for Tiffany’s Unique Boutique Tuesday, March 1st, in style. Guests were treated to an assortment of desserts, snacks, fruit, wine and champagne, and pizza, compliments of Hungry Howie’s.
Freeland resident, Josh Johnson, was one of the first customers to receive a haircut at the new location. Johnson remembers getting haircuts by Orvis as a kid, and when he recently returned to Freeland from Colorado, decided to return to her. “It’s the most affordable haircut in town at only ten dollars,” Johnson said.
The boutique had been originally located at 135 Washington in Freeland for the past three years, until the owner of the property decided to sell. Orvis then moved the boutique to 143 1st Street (behind the post office) in Freeland, where the special grand opening was held.
Orvis, mother of three children and grandmother of four, began her career as a hairstylist 24 years ago, working out of her home. When her youngest daughter turned 14, she realized she no longer needed to work out of her home, and decided to open her boutique at the Washington location.
A full service salon, Tiffany’s Unique Boutique offers haircuts, perms, color, up-do’s, highlights, nails, manicures, pedicures, facials, makeovers, Hex tanning, airbrush tanning, NuFree hair removal, and ear candling.
Massage Therapist, Jennifer Richter, specializes in deep tissue massage, muscle manipulation, trigger-point release, as well as relaxation. Formerly of Serenity Day Spa in Saginaw, Richter has been practicing massage therapy since 2007, and recently joined the team at Tiffany’s.
Another recent addition to Tiffany’s team is Emily Jaime, a hairstylist for 10 years. Jaime is a Freeland resident, dividing her time between work at Tiffany’s, and raising her two young children, a son, Camryn, 6 months, and daughter, Brynn, 3 ½.
Each week Tiffany’s sponsors a local home-based business by allowing them to showcase their products and services at the boutique. The first business to take advantage of this unique opportunity at the grand opening is Arbonne Skin Care, presented by Sharon Poplawski. Arbonne is not just about skin care, but also specializes in health & wellness and vitamins. According to Poplawski, Arbonne offers the best skin care products she’s ever used. For more information, call Sharon at 860-9657, or email sharonpoplawski@yahoo.com.
Future sponsored businesses include Mary Kay, Party Lights, Scentsy candles, Miche Bags, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, and Kade Jewel. The idea has been so popular that Orvis said she is booked until June.
Tiffany’s will be a participating vendor at the Burt Watson Chevrolet Mom to Mom Sale, being held March 12, April 16, and May 21, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The boutique will also be participating in the 5.01 Divas, Working Women’s Day Out, along with 30 other vendors, to be held at Burt Watson Chevrolet in Freeland on March 11, from 5:01 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Tiffany’s offers the Healthy Weight Workshop, presented by Hypnosis Delivers, with an NHG Certified Hypnotist and NFPT Certified Fitness Trainer, every 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month.
