While in cosmetology school, Lakefront Salon and Spa owner Dianna was told by her instructor she had what it takes to be a salon owner. She focused on hair, bookkeeping, and how to build the business. Dianna’s journey began in 1985 when she purchased a building and started a 1200 sq. ft. 3-chair salon, soon growing that number to six chairs. In 2022, Dianna purchased and renovated a 3000 sq. ft. building in downtown Michigan City, just steps away from local shops and restaurants. Over the years, Dianna has grown the business by staying connected to the community. She does this by participating in events like First Friday Walks (a regular event promoting local businesses) and attending local Chamber events. Partnering with local stores and restaurants has allowed Dianna to sell more products and grow a large clientele.

Scott harris’ life did not always follow the path towards being a hairstylist, but the industry has always been within him. Cleaning perm rods as a 4-5 year old for his aunt was just a way to stay busy until he realized the magic of touching people's lives when guests came in “scary looking and left looking completely transformed”. In his teen years his hairstylist became his mentor. After high school while in the marines, he cut upwards of 80 marines’, then got a job in a tool and dye factory, and with a twist of fate, was able to attend cosmetology school when the opportunity presented itself.
