Marlanea beautifies at Waunanuba
V^iunanuba Salon, Spa and Es
sentials happened at just the right
time.
Marlanea and husband James
were renting a space in down
town Redmond, where they had
a successful business selling high
quality beauty projects.
A fter a couple o f years, they
w anted to buy the space, re
model, and expand with a hair
and nail salon. But the sale didn’t
happen, which turned o ut to be
a good thing.
“The space right next door
came on the market,” Marlanea
was saying recently. “The stars
aligned, and we w ent for it.”
James spent the next eight
months on the remodeling work,
and they opened Waunanuba last
fall. Working at the salon now
are- Marlanea and Jam es, and
hairstylists C helsea M anion,
Sheena Stevens and Kristy Tay
