Waite Park Salon Thrives Amid Pandemic with Loan Assistance
WAITE PARK – A Waite Park salon is looking to expand after less than a year of business thanks to a microlending program.
Morph Salon and Barbershop, located at 110 2nd Street South, was able to open amid the COVID-19 pandemic with assistance from the Southwest Initiative Foundation’s (SWIF) Microenterprise Loan Program. The shop offers hair services, lash extensions and nail and make-up services. Co-owners
Natasha Sankey and
Sam Haug say they wanted the shop to have “the welcoming feel of a small-town barber.”
“I started doing hair to find beauty in myself. I ended up falling in love with and the relationships I built with my clients,” said Sankey. “I noticed that the beauty I found in myself rubbed off on other people. They started to see the beauty in themselves creating a domino effect. I look at it as my version of paying it forward.”
