Edgewater Business Spotlight: Sparrow Hair Parlour

Today we are spotlighting Sparrow Hair Parlour which is located at 5701 W. 25th Avenue in Edgewater. Here’s a glimpse into Sparrow from owner Vanessa Rupas.

How did you get involved in this business?

I have been in love with the beauty industry since I was a little girl. My mother was a makeup artist my whole life and I loved tagging along with her to work when I could! I received my professional license 12 years ago and my ultimate goal has always been to create and open my own salon. Infused with all the wonderful things I have learned along the way, business wise and hair wise.

What drew you to open a business in Edgewater?

Edgewater has always attracted me with its wonderful small town feel. A few years ago, when eating at Sloans, I started to notice so many cool, new places on 25th Avenue and knew then that this would most likely be where I would open my first salon. The neighborhood itself is so supportive of local businesses! I love it. I’m also excited for things that may happen in the near future for this town! Like First Friday’s, business open houses, lots of great stuff!
