Hays native opens boutique, salon on the Bricks

By CRISTINA JANNEYHays Post

A new salon and boutique has opened in Hays—Sincerely Bailey Boutique and Salon, 117 E. Eighth.

Bailey Wiesner, 25, a Hays native, bought the building and opened the new business on Aug. 1.

The salon existed in the space and had operated as the Body Shoppe Salon and Tanning. The same stylists are still working at the new salon.

The salon has five hair stylists and one barber with one chair available to fill. The stylists offer both cuts and colors. The barber offers shaves for men.

The salon also offers massage and eyebrow waxing. Wisener said she would like to hire an eyelash technician.

The boutique offers women's clothing, shoes and jewelry. The store carries the clothing lines KanCan jeans, Zenana and Just USA. She is trying to become a retailer for Judy Blue.

The store sells graphic T-shirts and shoes in a variety of styles and brands.

"I have a lot of shoes. I'm a shoe girl. I have a ton of shoes in here," Wiesner said.

Sincerely Bailey carries sizes small through large with some extra large. However, she is able to order some items in plus sizes.

Wiesner also has recently outfitted a mobile store. The bus will be traveling to events, including Octoberfest on Sept. 30 in Hays. She also can pull the bus up to a home for a private party.

You also can order items online, which can be shipped or picked up in person in Hays. Visit [email protected]. You also can follow Sincerely Bailey on Facebook.

"I was going to do just those two things, but then this building came up, and downtown is just where I want to be," she said. "I love the thought of being on the Bricks."

Bailey, a Fort Hays State University graduate, recently moved back to Hays from Arizona with her husband and young son. Although she has been a style ambassador for other salons, this is her first experience with her own boutique.

"I was ready to go out on my own and show my own style and have my own company instead of working for other people," she said.

She said other boutiques in town tend to lean toward Western style.

"My style is a young contemporary," she said.

The boutique is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

The availability of the stylists varies. To make an appointment, you can call the salon at 785-621-2421.

Wiesner will be doing some remodeling in January, which will include new flooring, paint and stylist chairs. She said she did not think it would affect store or salon hours.
