Beyond Basics: New salon opens in Benton Harbor

Samrosetta Hardnett has been in the beauty industry for 25 years and a licensed hair stylist for 15. Now she has a salon of her own.

Hardnett has opened Beyond Basics Salon at 88 West Main Street, Benton Harbor. She says her experience coupled with her passion for people inspired her to open her own salon. 

At Beyond Basics Salon Hardent wants her customers to “revive, renew, and relax.” To do that she will provide services that include haircuts for women, men and children; textures; perm waves; relaxers; straighteners; full head weaves; shampoo; blow dry, and condition treatments. The salon also offers hair color treatments, highlights and manicures.

She got the support she needed to open the business from Cornerstone Alliance Small Business Services and Women’s Business Center. She participated in an 11-week program that offers information and resources needed to start and sustain a small business. 

“The workshops and resources they offer are invaluable to anyone starting a business,” Hardnett says.

The new salon is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m to 7 p.m. by appointments. However, Hardnett says walk-ins are welcome. To learn more about Beyond Basics Salon, call 269-363-4555.
