Cofounders and property managers

Union Salon Suites is a family-owned, non-franchised small business. 

John and Heather Quast are the proud owners of Union Salon Suites and the commercial complex in which it resides. Hailing from Crestview Hills, Kentucky, the Quasts have been married for 30 years with 4 children and 9 grandchildren. 

John has been a small business owner in Boone County for 50 years and has witnessed the commercial development of Union throughout that time. John ran an asphalt paving business until 2005 when he and his brother, Jim, purchased a plot of land with the intention of developing it into a commercial retail center. In 2008, that dream came to fruition. After years of partnering with a rotating cast of retailers, John envisioned building a tight-knit community of entrepreneurs who supported each other. Having witnessed the demand for salon suites in Union by cosmetology professionals, John and Heather decided to convert one of their existing units into thirteen salon suites, each outfitted with mirrors, salon chairs, bowls, and ample storage. 

John and Heather are dedicated to fostering a professional relationship with each stylist that feels personal. For the past 20 years, Union Salon Suites has been home to a community of independent salon professionals - most of whom have been with the salon suites since their opening. John and Heather strive to build a circle of stylists who feel they can be as autonomous as they want while relying on each other to take on clients they can’t, teach them new skills, and trust each other to care for their own hair, skin, and nails. Owning the building itself allows them to meet the needs of their tenants while supporting other small businesses in the Union community. When maintenance is required, they are completed expeditiously by trusted local contractors, because when the stylists speak with John, they aren’t just talking to a building manager or middleman - they have direct access to the owner. This direct connection keeps the salon suites affordable and the management personable.
