I am writing to inform you that after 40 years, my time at Sharon’s Hair & Beauty (now Casino Beauty Lounge) has come to an end.

It has been my absolute pleasure to have been your beauty therapist and friend over these many, many (many) years.

I wish to thank each and every one of you for the fun, laughter (and even tears) we have shared during our time together.  

There have been so many engagements and weddings (even divorces and deaths) that I have had the privilege to have been a part of.

There have been pregnancies, births, first and last days of school. I have had the opportunity of watching your children grow up and I’m proud to be able to say that I have had 2nd and even 3rd generations of families come through the salon doors.  

I’ve celebrated with you for 18th, 21st all the way up to 80th birthdays, school formals, debutante balls, job interviews and career changes just as you have been there with me for all of my own life events.

All of these special moments are blessings you have bestowed upon me and I will treasure them all as I move forward to begin establishing my life in Ipswich with my wonderful husband who has been very patient and supportive over the past 7 years as I was traveling back and forth between the two states.

I look forward to spending time with my family and my adorable granddaughter Marlee (who is now 6 months old and growing far too quickly).

While I wish that I could have said goodbye to each of you in person, I’m sure our paths will cross in the future either when I come back to Casino for visits, (or via Facebook-Sharon Bakens).

THANK YOU all for your support, loyalty and friendship over the past 40 years. I will miss you all and my time at the salon. 

Love and best wishes to you all

SHARON
