Caroline Jade & Co. to hold grand opening Saturday

Three longtime friends have seen their career paths merge to offer McMinnville a new place to treat yourself.

Lauren Argo, Kaylee Campbell and Kade Wilcher have teamed up to offer three businesses under the umbrella of Caroline Jade & Co. at 109 N. Spring St. in McMinnville. The three, specializing in lashes, facials, waxing, nails and more, will hold a grand opening for their merged businesses Saturday at 1 p.m.

"Lauren and I have been friends since we were 7 and both got into esthetics around the same time, a little over five years ago," Campbell said. "When we finally got the opportunity to start something together, we came up with Caroline Jade & Co. Caroline is Lauren's middle name and Jade is my middle name.

"Once Lauren and I both finished school, we knew we wanted to have a salon together someday. We have been friends for over 18 years and have such a sister-like relationship that it only made sense to combine efforts and support each other in this journey as small business owners. We finally got the opportunity to open a storefront together at the beginning of this year."

The pair has been joined by Wilcher, another longtime friend, who also does esthetics. Each brings their own specialties to bear with Argo offering the Sweet Caroline Beauty Bar, Campbell with Glo Studio and Wilcher with Urban Glow Med Spa.

"We offer many types of skincare treatments from basic facials to microneedling," Campbell said. "We also offer lash extensions, waxing and nail services. We strive to give people a luxury setting with quality services while still maintaining a comfortable, cozy environment that everyone feels welcomed at."

Welcoming will be the order of the day Saturday, Feb. 7 as the trio of businesswomen welcome the public to the grand opening of Caroline Jade & Co.

"We will have tons of giveaways to enter, including gift cards to each of our three businesses, gift cards to both vendors, free classes at the Bike Barre and several other gift baskets with prizes from local boutiques as well as vendors offering a custom hat bar (Patched Up by Grace) and permanent jewelry (Sage & Scribbles)," Campbell said.

The three are available by appointment only. Argo and Campbell accept appointments Tuesday-Friday and Wilcher takes appointments Monday-Thursday. Hours vary in a desire to accomodate clients' schedules. Appointments can be made at the Caroline Jade & Co. Facebook page.
