Hair Stylist and Owner of Creations Salon Renee
Welcome to my salon! I’m Renee, born and raised in Chili, NY. I’m a proud graduate of Gates Chili, and I continue to volunteer and serve for my local community. Having my salon and living in the same community has instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and a desire to make a positive impact. When you enter my salon, you will have that sense of family, and One Love.
As of Mom of two, I understand the need and want to be with my family. I choose to own my own business so I can do what I love to do, as well as be a part of my boy’s lives. I have been in the hair world for over 30 years, even though I am not that old. I just started that young. As a Mom I understand how important it is to have you time, and time that you are able to take a deep breath and feel relaxed. I have designed my salon in a way that you are appreciated for who you are in a carefree, relaxed environment.
I pride myself on being the only salon in our community to be environmentally conscience and carrying the only CERTIFIED Organic Color line in the area. I don’t want you walking through our doors and the first thing you smell is chemicals. I believe our bodies are our own personal temple and you need to treat it as such, and that starts with your hair. I specialize in Organic Colour Systems color line, with precision color services, color corrections and vivid shades. My creativity shines through in my ability to envision and execute unique and personalized looks for each client, making them feel like a true work of art.
While most stylists have consultations, I like to have a consultation AND I like to educate you on why we do what we do in our color line. So, as I color you, I educate you as why we do things differently to cover that gray, or to help make those reds not fade. AND YES, TO ALL OF THAT! Your grays will cover, and those reds are A-MA-ZING! I love Organic Colour Systems so much that in my spare time I educate for the brand. I use my salon as an educating tool and educate like-minded stylists on the brand. Told ya I love color!
When I am not in the salon, I have a diverse range of interests and passions that bring me joy and fulfillment. My love of reading is a source of my inner self. Reading books allow me to escape into different worlds and explore new perspectives. Reading is truly the only thing that can unwind and relax me. If my nose isn’t in a book, the love for my family holds a special place in my heart. Spending time with them is a top priority, as it brings me a sense of love, support and tradition. There is no greater sense of love than me providing a good ol’ Italian meal around a table filled with laughter, and good food.

Front End Coordinator Mary
Hi, my name is Mary, I am the smiling face you will see when you enter the salon. I am originally from Wayland, NY and I recently moved to Brockport, so I can be with all my family who all live in Rochester, NY.
I am the front-end coordinator of the salon, so I help you with your check-in process, to your check-out process. I help keep Renee on a timely schedule so you can feel as relaxed as possible as I serve you our yummy, flavored hot chocolate or Coffee. When I'm not a Keurig Barista, I am the woman on the phone when you call in for an appointment as well. Now that we have Online Booking life seems simpler and so much easier for you the client. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. I am not tech savvy, and I can even make an appointment online for my grandchildren!
When I am not in the salon, I love spending time with my family. I live near the Canal, so I enjoy nature at its finest. The smells of the grass, and the natural flowers just make me happy. I love natural landscape so much, I keep sneaking in plants in the salon so the Organic brands we carry, can truly have a natural ambience.
I look forward to helping you soon. Never hesitate to ask me for help. If you're needing an appointment and we are closed don't forget the Online Booking is available 24hrs a day!
Creations Salon Therapy Dog Lilla
Hi, my name is Lilla. In Italian my name means Lilac. I am growing up to be a therapy dog for my Mama's salon. In case you haven't figured out yet, my Mama is Renee the Owner, and one of her favorite flowers is... you guessed it!!! A Lilac!!
I am 99.9% Labrador Retriever and .01% Italian (is that a thing???) I love to take naps, play with my brothers and chew on my stuffed bear. Everyone tells me I'm going to be a big girl, about 80lbs (I mean I am Italian.....I enjoy food). I was born February 2024 so I am a crazy teenager (whatever that means) but I am working hard with my Mama to be a therapy dog. My goal is to be a NYS Certified Therapy Dog by March 2025. I have been working on this goal since I was 8 weeks old!
When you come into the salon, I will be put into a sit position. My Mama will ask you if you'd like to say hi to me or if you'd rather not. If you'd like to say hi, my Mama will release me to you. If you'd rather not say hi, my Mama will put me in a "place" position to not bother you. If I am already in a place position, my Mama will release me to you when she is ready. (She's so bossy sometimes).
If you don't like dogs, or are allergic please still come in, or communicate via phone call or email to my Mama. My Mama won't let me go to anyone unless they ask for me and only, she can release me. If my Mama says PLACE I know to go lay on my bed until she tells me, I can get out. Not everyone is going to like me, and that is ok. But everything I am learning now is to help me help others in the future.
I am in the salon Wednesday - Friday 9am - 2pm
