It was a beautiful day in October as the Joy Beauty Salon owners officially opened their business in Westlake. Angela Tempest, her husband, Paul, together with Angela's business partner, Mandy Smith, welcomed the public to an open house on Oct. 26. Angela and Mandy celebrated the open house with a ribbon cutting as Angela’s twin 4-year-old boys, Ansel and Bram, dutifully held the ribbon.

The city of Westlake marked the occasion with a proclamation from Mayor Dennis Clough that was presented by Westlake City Council President David Greenspan. The proclamation in part welcomed the new female entrepreneurs and congratulated them on their new business, as the mayor proclaimed it "Joy Beauty Day" in the city of Westlake. Council representatives Amy Havelka and Michael O’Donnell, along with Director of Building Donald Grayem and Diane Birchard from the Department of Recreation, also shared in the warm city welcome.

Angela expressed her thanks to everyone who came to the open house and invited the gathering inside for a salon tour and welcoming reception. She remarked that as college roommates, she and Mandy always wanted to go into business together and Joy Beauty Salon is the fulfillment of a dream they made come true.

Greenspan congratulated the women on their new business and was glad they selected Westlake for their new salon. Angela's son Bram was glad the ribbon-cutting was over so he and his brother Ansel could get a cookie.

Joy Beauty is located at 25125 Detroit Road, Suite #125, Westlake. New customers are welcome to contact the Salon at 440-427-4665 or online at joybeautysalon.com.
