It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of The Purple House Salon by Shawn Gilstad, which has proudly served Charlotte County for the past 15 years—10 years as “Hair by Shawn & Co.” and the last 5 as The Purple House Salon.
Unfortunately, due to three years of unexpected storms, we will not be reopening.
Shawn wants to take a moment to express just how deeply he loves and admires each and every one of you. The encouragement and support from this incredible community over the years have meant the world. You were never just clients or guests—you became his second family. The bonds created over the years will always hold a special place in his heart, and for that, he is eternally grateful.
While the salon may be closing, Michelle, Dennis, and Kassidy will continue to serve you in more independent roles at Vuja De Salon, located at 21234 Olean Blvd, Port Charlotte. We are excited to continue seeing you there, and we ask that you reach out directly to your stylist for any future bookings.
When calling or texting, please leave a message with as much information as possible. We will return messages between guests. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Please be sure to like and follow Vuja De Salon as well as our individual business links to stay connected.
Thank you for everything. Shawn will always carry the memories of this journey, and he looks forward to seeing all of you in the future. He loves you all very much.
