SWOON!
What is a chair? A Place to sit, kick your shoes off or rest maybe? I have taken photos over the years of chairs in the wild, benches at the beach, Adirondacks in someone’s yard and a few inside. Chairs are relaxing to me. Even the broken ones.
This book is a photo collection with quotes from friends, stories from my life and inspiration.
Swoon Salon & Spa, Mystic, CT
There’s something special about having your hair washed by a professional. It’s one of those small luxuries that feels like a reset. I was in the beauty industry for almost ten years. I’ve met so many talented women and men, and spaces like Swoon truly stand out.
It’s the kind of place where you can walk in feeling a little undone and leave feeling like your best self with no judgment, just genuine care. Whether it’s hair, skin, nails, or lashes, Owner Jenni makes sure you feel taken care of from the moment you arrive.
And I have to say, after decades of appointments, no one does a shampoo like Sarah Martic. It’s more than just a wash; it’s a few minutes of pure, calming massage that somehow feels like much longer. And this shampoo chair is so comfortable.
What I love just as much as the services is what this business represents. Women supporting women, building something meaningful, and creating spaces where others feel seen, confident, and cared for. That’s the heart of small business, and it matters.
During chemo, at a time in my life when I needed it most, Jenni invited me in for lashes and a chance to just exhale. She didn’t charge me, she simply called it “Warrior Day.” What she gave me at that moment was so much more than a service. It was kindness, compassion, and being seen in a way that stays with you long after you leave the chair.
I can also add that Jennifer Landry is a contender in the top 3 of the Day Best of again for 2026. I am so proud of the woman you are Jenni!
