Five Elements Salon & Day Spa manager buys spa

Submitted - Kelly Sweck (left) sold Five Elements to Sarah Lemery (right).

Staff report

When Five Elements Salon & Day Spa owner Kelly Sweck decided it was time to retire she decided the ideal buyer was the person who had been running the spa for the past five years: her manager Sarah Lemery. The sale of the business was finalized in May. 

Lemery said she is “excited for this opportunity to breathe new life into the business,” adding, “We’ve added online booking through our Instagram, Google, and our website to make us more accessible to our guests. We are bringing in a new skin and body care line called Farmhouse Fresh, which is something Kelly and I have been talking about bringing to the business for years. This will open the door for new body and facial treatments and monthly specials. We are also adding eyelash extensions and blonding hair coloring services to our menu as well,” she said.

Five Elements, located at 10 Stratton Road, has been a staple in the Rutland community for over 20 years. Sweck is glad Lemery will continue her legacy of providing quality services for the community. 

“Sarah is dedicated to continuing to provide Five Elements guests with the same quality of services they have received under last five years of her management.”

Valid gift certificates and series purchased under Sweck’s ownership will be honored under Lemery’s ownership.
