Starshine Salon

Hello Darlings! With starting my school job, I currently have the worst waitlist since the pandemic. I’m away with weekend, but will try to have some concentrated admin time to get everyone waiting a spot. Thank you for your patience! Su-Shan

Hello Darlings! Some of you know that I(Su-Shan) have switched my weekdays to become a special education assistant for the Philadelphia School District. It’s been a little bumpy. I love the work itself, but now a few weeks in have found out that I have to stay until 4:30pm. Everyone rescheduled before 5pm Monday-Friday will be contacted with rescheduling options. If you’re on my waitlist and haven’t heard from me, it’s because I’m temporarily drowning. I have an appointment freeze until I can get everyone currently effected situated. So sorry for the inconvenience. Newsletter with more info impending.

Happy Mothers Day 💖💕

Hello Darlings! Many of you know that Mandy had planned her last day for 5/5. Unfortunately, a family situation is shortening that time frame and Janine and Su-Shan will be taking over the rest of her schedule. Mandy works faster than either of us, so we will have to do some rescheduling to make everything work. Thank you in advance for bearing with us and understanding.

Hello Darlings! We’re having a rough case of the Mondays. The power is out at the new location in Bala Cynwyd and we’re not yet sure when it will be back on. We’re checking back hourly unless Peco updates us in the meantime. Sorry for any inconvenience. Su-Shan will reach out if rescheduling is necessary.

It is Women’s History Month and for the 5th year in a row we are teaming up with other powerful businesses, as “The Manayunk Wingwomen” to help support other women in our community! We are collecting essential items for prenatal/postnatal parents and menstrual health and wellness all month long! These items are often expensive and not affordable for many people despite being a necessity, and we’re asking our beloved and supportive customers and clients to help us collect these super important products for this super important initiative. We will be sending the supplies collected to Grab N’ Flow, which stocks free-to-the-community menstrual and postpartum product sheds that are located in Philly and available to anyone in need. And something VERY exciting this year is Grab N’ Flow will be adding a NEW shed that will be located at North Light Community Center right here in Manayunk!!! Please bring any of the items listed to the participating locations to help - Swipe for the full list 💖

This year we are also collecting monetary donations for Women Against Abuse, Philadelphia’s leading domestic violence advocate and service provider, and one of the largest domestic violence agencies in the country. Please Venmo -Deieso with your donation.

As a fun “Thank you” for helping, when you drop off a donation, you will get a custom Manayunk Wingwomen vinyl sticker!

Help us make Women’s History Month a month to not only just appreciate and think of the incredible, brave, and brilliant women that have paved the way for us throughout history, but to also use it as a chance to help our own neighbors in need now!

Hello Darlings! I know several of you are waiting to hear from us. We only just got everyone rescheduled from the previous snow storm. We’re not putting new appointments on the schedule until we see how tomorrow goes for potential cancellations. So sorry for the inconvenience, but we’ll reach out asap.

Hello Darlings! With Su-Shan being the child of a deported immigrant, we are of course in support of the Black Out. Due to the nature of our clients booking ahead including a wedding today, we will still be providing services. If you need a place to be in warmth & solidarity, please consider visiting the comic shop with no expectation of sales. We’ve put out more seats & tables for gathering and can provide random art supplies. Star Wars will be playing in the background most of the day. For more info, please check johnnydestructo . We love you, we’re grateful for your support and are here to support.

Hello Darlings! We have moved the salon to a suite in Bala Cynwyd in the hopes of bringing 4327 Main St. more something community oriented. Johnny Destructo’s Hero Complex is soon to host a better kids and gaming space. Su-Shan needs to scale back from styling and will be helping in the comic shop some weekday evenings and weekends. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Hello Darlings! Su-Shan is super behind in responses. The rate of sickness rescheduling is outpacing her ability to figure out the schedule, though we appreciate everyone who is preventing more sickness from going around and hope you feel better soon. Thank you for your patience. We’ll be getting back to everyone asap.
