Priscilla Swanson - Owner, Cosmetologist
Priscilla started her career in beauty in Milwaukee in 1988. After working in one of the city's most reputable salons for two years, she decided to move to Gunnison to go to college (and ski). She continued her career through college, working in Crested Butte. After graduating with an Art Education degree, Priscilla took some time off to travel Central America. When she returned she set up shop in Gunnison in a small space downtown. Within about 6 months Priscilla had 3 women working with her full time, and the space became really small. In 2000, Priscilla purchased the "Sundae Shop" building and it got the makeover of its life. Metamorphosis Salon and Spa opened in October of 2000. "It has been a great challenge to own and operate a business like this" Priscilla says of her endeavor. "I find it very rewarding not only in making people happy with the services that they receive here, but also in providing a stimulating work environment for all my wonderful employees." Her favorite part of her job? - Doing hair!
