Cheryl Baynton is in the running for her first ever Entrepreneurship award on May 20th, having been nominated for the Women’s Business Organization of Manitoba ‘Lifetime Achievement’ award.
“I was totally flattered to be put in the same category as all these other successful business women.”
Baynton is the owner and mind behind Pantages Salon & Spa, as well as the new Pantages Eco-Friendly hair product line. Pantages is a classy, new-aged hair salon that also offers many different beauty and spa treatments, from pedicures to facials. Baynton got the idea for starting Pantages after she had been working in the industry for a few years already. “I didn’t realize how attracted I was to this until I was actually working in the industry,” said Baynton, “this industry and I share a lot in common, we both are built around changing and staying new and exciting.”
Pantages was formed 25 years ago, and recently celebrated it’s anniversary with a big outdoor barbeque on May 8th. It has been located on Park Avenue for 8 years now, and before that was on Currie Boulevard for 17 years before needing to expand to new property. Baynton is proud of the continuous growth of the company, and already has adjacent lots purchased for more future expansion.
Baynton is also proud of her very professional staff who are helping her make her dreams reality. “I really want to bring a metropolitan feel to our little wheat city,” Baynton said, as is apparent the moment you open the doors of the salon, which can hold up to 23 clients at a time. The decor of the salon, combined with the attitudes of the staff, make for a very refreshing ‘big-city’ feel, right in the middle of Brandon’s prairie landscape.
Baynton will find out if she managed to come away with the award on May 20th, at a special Dinner presentation at the Fairmont in Winnipeg.
