Allow Me to Introduce Myself
I have been so happy with my decision to open my salon
on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. The response
has been very overwhelmingly supportive – people stop by
to say hello, talk about beauty and about life, take pictures
(tourists love this area!) and have gone out of their way to
make me feel like part of the community.
This has been surprising in the most wonderful of ways. My
business is named Lily Lan Chen 84 Salon, and as you might
guess I am Chinese . I have encountered racism many times
in the past, and was concerned that might be the case here.
But this community sees past my ethnicity and sees me for
who I am – an artist with a passion for sharing.
I am particularly thankful to the LGBT community, which
has embraced me with open arms. Thank you for your kindness,
for your willingness to help me, and for always making
me smile!
Even though I am a businesswoman, I am fi rst and foremost
an artist. I want to share my insights, my knowledge and my
love with the community.
I am about purpose before profi t. And part of my purpose
is to make a meaningful contribution to my community. We
have a small salon that feels like a home, and an amazing
team of hair stylists who are focused on scalp health and
hair regeneration. We not only want to make you look and
feel better, we want to contribute to this wonderful community.
My team and I will support other business owners
in our community - restaurants, coffee shops, shoe store,
eye glass store, etc.
So please stop by and say hello.
With much love and appreciation,
Lily
