Monica Eischeid decided to make her own salon with a light, open feel with a heavenly vibe. It was this concept that led to one of the newest hair salons in Central Iowa, Ethereal Beauty Lounge on Ingersoll Avenue. Here you can get a new style or skin treatment in a relaxed unassuming environment from one of the 4 stylists that rent a space in this 6 week old enterprise

With the desire to spend more time with her two young children and work in a space that she created, Monica took the leap in starting a brick and mortar spot that would allow her the flexibility to create not only a new space, but new looks for people of all ages. Check out this episode as Monica lets us know why Ethereal Beauty Lounge is different from its competition!
