Radiant Beauty Suites filling a void in Anthem

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

Foothills Focus Executive Editor

Chrissy DeVivo had an epiphany during the pandemic. It was simple: live her life on her terms.

So, she opened Radiant Beauty Suites in Anthem. The all-suites salon features rooms rented by hair stylists, barbers, nail technicians, skin care specialists, brow/lash professionals and other beauty practitioners.

“I wanted to do this for the last 15 years,” DeVivo said. “During COVID last year, I started thinking, ‘Why not?’ I could die tomorrow. Why not just take the risk and do the thing I always wanted to do.”

She researched the possibilities of opening a salon suite, found the commercial space and “just did it.” Radiant Beauty Suites opened in the beginning of January.

“I’ve always like to take care of myself,” she said. “I use all of these types of services. When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a hair stylist. I like the beauty

Desert Valley Home Watch renews accreditation

BY FOOTHILLS FOCUS STAFF

Desert Valley Home Watch has earned accreditation from the National Home Watch Association for the third year.

The NHWA was formed in 2009 to establish and maintain the highest industry standards for home watch and absentee homeowner services throughout the United States and Canada.

Home watch is a visual inspection of a home or property at vacation or primary homes while owners are not in residence.

Armed with a background in construction inspection and utilities/ project management, owner Matt Hjermstad put his skills and expertise into home safety and maintenance services. Desert Valley Home Watch offers complete home watch services.

Home sitters, neighbors, friends nor family are reliable solutions for keeping homeowners’ properties safe, Hjermstad said.

Desert Valley Home Watch inspects the inside of a house for irregularities, the pipelines for leaks and ensures the yard is not overrun with pests. Hjermstad and his family live in Cave Creek.

Desert Valley Home Watch serves Anthem, Carefree, Cave Creek, North Phoenix, Scottsdale, North Scottsdale and Rio Verde. For more information, call Hjermstad at 480-665-5558 or at matt@desertvalleyhomewatch.com. Learn more at desertvalleyhomewatch.com.

industry. I know it’s always going to be a big industry. I really like the part of helping other business owners grow their businesses. I like to help other people.”

The facility has 13 suites and DeVivo is looking for an aesthetician who can perform facials; a tattoo artist; spray tanner and additional hair stylists and a barber.

The salon suites allow health and beauty specialists to rent spaces on a monthly or a daily basis, which is unique in the salon suites industry.

Radiant also provides various amenities at no charge, including business promotion, 24/7 access, and all utilities.

DeVivo is a Rochester, New York, native, who moved to Arizona when she was 6 years old. She graduated from Moon Valley High School and now lives in Anthem near Radiant Beauty Suites.

“Being an Anthem resident, I saw that Anthem lacked a more exclusive all-inone beauty facility. So, I set out to create a more luxurious home for Anthem’s top beauty professionals,” she said.
