Salon DeSHANO became a reality in the winter of 2003
As it opened its doors and became a part of an expanding rural community
Surrounded by nature and a beautiful man-made lake
The owners didn’t know how much of an impact they would make

On the people who had decided to get away from the noise
Of living in the city but the owners had worked hard and were now poised
To offer services that included nails, skin and of course hair
And offered late hours so people didn’t have to wait for a chair

The layout of the salon was quiet and relaxed
And offered a retreat for folks who were stressed and taxed
And who needed to be pampered and to once again feel complete
All of their clients’ needs they were able to meet

The salon has grown and added what is popular these days
Massage therapies and facials are just two of the ways
To pamper yourself in this state of the art place
You are treated so well that you leave with a smile on your face

Over the years they have won the hearts of those they serve
They’ve also been voted the best which they richly deserve
If you are ever in the neighborhood you ought to stop by
Or call for an appointment and give their salon a try

There are many shops and spas to which you can go
But at Salon DeSHANO the staff all know
How to make each client that comes through their door
Feel so special and pampered they come back for more

As a retired 78 years old engineer, with many health problems, I was very skeptical when I arrived for my first Reiki session. Afterwards, I was relaxed, with much less pain and more energy that I had in many months. With more sessions I have found that my consumption of pain medications has dropped from 5-6 doses a day to 0-1 dose per day. I may not understand exactly how it works, but for me it does work.

I want everyone to know that I have been a client of Jacqui DeShano’s for over ten years. Salon DeShano is very special with all the salon/spa services you need and the one important note that makes it different, you leave feeling so wonderful about yourself. Salon DeShano is the very best in Central Virginia.

Jacqui DeShano runs a first rate salon that is comfortable, fun and warm. I look forward to going in for the relaxation, laughter, conversation and most importantly, the great hair style that I leave with. I just had my latest color appointment/cut with Kim Crum this afternoon and I love my hair! Feeling and looking like a new woman is an understatement. I enjoy the warmth, enthusiasm, the sincere, honest care I experience each time I’m here for an appointment. The conveniences of having Salon DeShano so close to home is a wonderful added bonus. I recommend the salon wherever I can!

Salon DeShano is a wonderful place to go for pampering. I especially love the facials. Jacqui cuts, styles, and colors my hair. She is not only a great stylist, but a great person.

I have been thoroughly pleased with every aspect of Salon DeShano from the service to the quality of work. I have looked for a place for five years to get a quality haircut for a man at a fair price. My search has stopped at Salon DeShano.

My first thoughts of Salon DeShano would be "a happy place". The clients are treated with the utmost respect and courtesy while also being recognized as friends. I am a Realtor in the area and Salon DeShano is on my list of service providers I give my new home owners. The staff could not be more accommodating and professional while they do a FANTASTIC job in all of the areas they provide. I have been a customer for over 3 years and have utilized the following services: Hair care, massages, manicures and pedicures; all of which were and are excellent. These ladies remain at the top of their game and I look forward to many more years of care. I have to give a shout out to my stylist . . . Melissa. . . she is wonderful !!!

So if you are new in the area or looking to change salon's I highly recommend trying Salon DeShano - you will be glad you did.

I have been a customer for over five years and haave always experienced the utmost courtesy when I call to schedule an appointment or call to change an appointment. It also helps me greatly to be reminded when I do have an appointment. Upon arrival, I am always pleasantly greet and never have to wait. My services are always provided in a clean, friendly environment. I feel like I am visiting friends, no just getting salon services. I would recommend all their services.
And I love their community spirit in helping less fortunate, families in crisis and the cancer community.
