TAUNTON Amy Chaves opened her first hair salon, Key to Beauty, this month, after over 20 years as a hair stylist.
Though she s enjoyed her time at Trend Setters Hair Salon on Washington Street in Taunton for the past 17 years, she s striking out on her own with a location on Tremont Street near Trucchi s, which opened on April 15.
Chaves, 43, was born and raised in Taunton, and attended beauty school right after high school. I ve always loved doing hair, she said. When I was younger, my aunt worked at a salon. I used to sleep over at her house on Friday nights and help her out on Saturday.
