Hair salon, Beauty salon, Boutique in Sheboygan Falls, WI
K Lorraine Salon, Spa and Boutique is a full-service AVEDA concept salon housed in the historic Richardson building in downtown Sheboygan Falls. The team offers complete hair care -- cuts, color, balayage, and styling -- alongside spa services including massage therapy, facials, and waxing, plus a boutique retail area for gifts and accessories. Clients come for both special-occasion styling and regular upkeep, with wellness classes rounding out the offerings so the space functions as a true salon-spa-boutique hybrid rather than a single-service shop. The AVEDA product line anchors the color and treatment menu, appealing to clients looking for plant-based, cruelty-free options. Because the building itself is a downtown landmark -- built in 1894 and previously home to Schlichting's store and the Richardson Kitchen & Bath Showroom -- the salon's exposed brick and original architectural details give appointments a distinct sense of place that chain salons in strip malls can't replicate. The boutique section rotates seasonal clothing and gift items, so regulars often browse while waiting for a color service to process. It has built a loyal Sheboygan County clientele who return for the combination of skilled AVEDA-trained stylists and the historic downtown setting.
K Lorraine Salon, Spa and Boutique was launched by co-owners Kathryn Hillstrom and Vicky LeMahieu, who had previously run Salon 511 together in Sheboygan Falls before striking out to build their own concept. The salon is named in tribute to both owners' mothers. It opened its doors on December 1, 2018, after a two-month renovation converted the historic Richardson's Furniture Emporium building at 202 Pine Street into a modern salon-spa-boutique space while preserving the building's 1894 architecture. Since opening, Hillstrom and LeMahieu have continued to operate the business together, growing it into one of downtown Sheboygan Falls' most recognized destinations for hair, spa, and wellness services. The partnership traces back years earlier to their shared ownership of Salon 511, giving the current business a foundation of established local relationships and continuity of ownership rather than a first-time startup.
