Adams Officials Surprise Merkai Salon for Five Years in Business
ADAMS, Mass. — Several town officials surprised Meraki Salon last week with a certificate to celebrate its 5th year in business.
Town Administrator Jay Green and members of the Board of Selectmen set up the ceremony for Owner and Stylist Lori Kuczynski last week. The board worked with the salon's other employees to plan the surprise.
"We'll have to hang it up; this is awesome," Kuczynski said shortly after the surprise last Tuesday. "... I'm hoping to be here for another 25."
Kuczynski is a U.S. Navy veteran who served as an aviation mechanic during the Desert Shield and Desert Storm. After her service, she attended cosmetology school, eventually fulfilling her dream by opening the salon in 2017.
"To do something with solely creativity, to leave a little piece of yourself in your work," she said of her work in the salon. "We are all about helping people get comfortable with their hair and having it be a really positive experience. All are welcome."
The offerings at the salon, Kuczynski said, have expanded since it opened five years ago. She hopes to continue this trend in the years to come.
"Five years later, I'm still here. I've expanded my team; I've taken on four employees," she said. "I plan on continuing to expand and add more services."
