Hair stylist and manager Katelyn Stewart and owner Peggy Campney moved their thriving hair salon and boutique from Ludlow to Killington last year after the July 2023 floods made it impossible for their business to continue in their current location. When the opportunity presented itself to Stewart and Campney, they exchanged one mountain with another. 

The Mountain Times first visited the Seventh Heaven Salon & Boutique when it first arrived in September 2023. A little over one year later, Stewart and Campney say the business is doing well.

“Fantastic” is the word Stewart used to describe her experience in Killington so far. “I think the community really rallies around all the local small businesses around here. I’ve been grateful since we moved here and how much support we’ve gotten. I’m always posting on my social media, telling my clients on there how much I appreciate them. And they do become like family for me.”

Stewart said the Killington community immediately showed support for their business. When they took over the location of longtime salon owner Erica Hurd, people were excited that someone would continue offering the services the town needed. 

“Everyone around here has been very kind and with open arms,” Stewart said. “Everyone has really accepted us.”

Over the past year, Seventh Heaven’s wedding services has proven a big winner. “I’ve had a lot of wedding planners, especially from Riverside and Killington, recommending us,” Stewart said. 

Some of Stewart’s specialties, which include hair extensions, are also high-demand services.

When Stewart and Campney began their journey in Killington last year, Stewart alone provided services. But she’s since added another stylist and hopes to add another in 2025 if the demand warrants it. 

Seventh Heaven also plans to expand its services starting on Nov. 16, welcoming a nail technician, which she expects will bring in more clients over the winter. It’s a service her clients have been asking for more and more, and she’s excited to see that part of the business flourish. 

Campney also mentioned that the salon is not exclusive to women’s hair. They also cut men’s and children’s hair, “making Seventh Heaven a full-service salon & boutique,” she said.
