Next Stop: 100 Grove Street, Suite 206 Worcester

We’re happy to share that we received our permit for the new South Grafton location last Wednesday! While our contractors are currently managing other projects, they’ll continue making progress on the new salon as much as possible. We must vacate Chandler Street by June 15.

Temporary Location for June (Calling all Prayer Warriors)
Starting Wednesday, June 4, we’ll be working out of Christopher Louis Hair Salon and Studio at:
📍 100 Grove St, Suite 206, Worcester
We expect to move into the South Grafton space in July. Angel’s salon will be both elegant and welcoming—worth the stopover!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
​
Why Grafton?
I’ve been searching for a new location since September but couldn’t find one in Worcester that met the needs of both myself and my clients. Grafton is closer to my home and opens the door to a new demographic—including clients from Rhode Island, the 146 corridor, and the 495 corridor—many of whom already travel to see me. This move brings the salon closer to them.


When will you be in Grafton?
At this time, we don’t have an exact opening date. Delays in securing permits from the town have set us behind schedule.


What’s the next step while still at Grove Street?
Once the contractors complete the plumbing and electrical inspections, I will submit for the state inspection, which typically takes 4–8 weeks. If you have any helpful connections, we’d appreciate the support at that time!


Why are you relocating?
I’ve been at the current location for 17 years, mostly with just one other stylist. The space and overhead are too large for such a small team. On top of that, managing a standalone building (like shoveling snow before the plow arrives) takes time and energy away from serving clients. The new space will allow me to focus more on the experience and less on property maintenance.


Will the new tenant be another Black-owned salon?
No. The new tenant will be an Asian foot and scalp spa.


What if I can't—or don't want to—travel to Grafton?
We’ll miss you and completely understand. Dina at 372 Chandler Street is aware of my relocation and may see an uptick in clients. I recommend booking early with her, as she stays quite busy.


Will Bianca be at both Grove Street and South Grafton?
Bianca will be relocating to the new Grafton location with the salon.
