A Triangle business is relocating to a new location in Raleigh Iron Works.

Set to open in June, Cary’s Sunday Salon will move into a 3,681-square-foot space at the development, the salon announced.

“My first priority has always been the people in this building: our staff and our clients,” Lisa Edwards, president and creative director of Sunday Salon, said in a news release. “We’re building this space at Raleigh Iron Works to be a sanctuary where my team has the best environment to grow as they master their craft and where our clients feel truly valued. It’s about taking care of each other.”

Sunday Salon, founded in 2020, offers color, cutting and styling services. It is currently located at the Arboretum shopping center at 133 Weston Parkway.

The Raleigh location will feature Japanese-engineered products from Takara Belmont including motorized shampoo bowls, a Yume Headbath system and Spa Mist processors. This technology is designed to enhance relaxation, promote scalp health and ensure treatments and color penetrate hair.

Nearly two dozen styling chairs integrated into custom millwork modules will span the open-concept floor plan.
