Not Your Average Beauty Salon

We were excited to learn all about A Little Zen Hair and Massage and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with Cosmetologists, Shawnee Enniss and Alisia Moreno.

A Little Zen Hair and Massage is a unique and tranquil hair salon and massage studio that opened in Reno, Nevada, in 2015. The customers are always the top priority in this family-oriented salon, and the crew here is dedicated to offering outstanding, high-quality service to everyone.

They offer a comfortable and safe space where people can come in and instantly feel at-ease. The staff encourages this zen atmosphere by supporting a completely drama-free workplace. Their fantastic team is always learning and working together to find new ways to assist their clients. Shawnee and Alisia shared:

“We value education above just about anything. We do a lot of brainstorming together and a lot of teamwork and then also take a lot of extra classes to make sure we offer the very best to our clients and give them a unique experience with us.”

We also wanted to know more about the business mission at A Little Zen Hair and Massage. Shawnee and Alisia told us more about what drives them:

“Our mission is to improve the self confidence of all our clients. We try and provide top-of-the-line experiences to all of our clients and make sure that they all feel like they’re our number one priority, because they are!”

Building Success Through Word of Mouth

A Little Zen Hair and Massage has earned an incredible reputation over their three years in business, so we were excited to learn a bit more about how they have marketed and grown in that time. Shawnee and Alisia said that they have a great presence on social media but that word of mouth has been the key to their success. The owner has been doing hair in Reno for almost 40 years, so there are families that have come to them through the generations. Shawnee and Alisia said that building a rapport with their guests and knowing that they have done an excellent enough service for people to recommend them to friends and family is incredibly special:

“We make our clients happy, and then they’re happy to send their friends and family to us. They feel that they can trust us to take care of their friends and family.”

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as A Little Zen Hair and Massage has managed to. We asked if Shawnee and Alisia could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what they had to say:

“Professionalism is key… and also honesty. Always listen to your clients, and always provide your very best service 100 percent of the time.”


Congratulations to A Little Zen Hair and Massage for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Shawnee and Alisia for taking the time to speak with us!
