Sherri Lynn Richard, a well-known stylist at Pavlova in Traverse City, purchased the Glen Lake (Beauty) Salon on Christmas Day last year following months of serious consideration. “I thought it was a dream come true but, initially, too expensive,” she says. Richard opened on New Year’s Eve and exalts at how well Glen Arbor has treated her. “Happy, sunny people,” she calls us. Richard has inherited many of former owner Marilyn’s clients, and also drawn her former patrons from Pavlova.

The atmosphere of the Glen Lake Salon today, which is open Tuesday thru Saturday, from 9-6, isn’t quite debonair Pavlova, and not quiet small-town Glen Arbor either. Marilyn’s wicker chairs are still there, but Richard has painted them light mango orange. The forest green walls are now blue and, in a nod to the previous owner, the goddess of an era past, Marilyn Monroe flashes her seductive smile from a portrait on the back wall.
