Outside of the salon, Laura cherishes moments with her loving family, which includes her husband, five children, and two furry companions.
About Laura Chapman
Q: Please tell us a little bit about your family.
We have 5 kids, chickens, 2 dogs & honey bees.
Q: Please tell us about your life and what you do (whether working in our community, a business owner, volunteer, etc.). How did you choose that path?
I was born and raised in Wisconsin, growing up in Big Bend/Mukwonago before settling my family in Pewaukee in 2010. With over 25 years of experience, I am an established stylist and the proud owner of Spargo Salon Spa & MediSpa, Visiting Angels & some other staffing companies.
Q: What do you love most about what you do?
My amazing team and the wonderful clients we get to serve.
Q: What was the most difficult challenge in getting to where you are now or in your life?
We have always hustled and worked our butts off to be where we are today. Nothing has come easy or ever been handed to us. We’ve gone from living paycheck to paycheck and scraping whatever we could to make ends meet. We have a strong faith in God and he has always provided for us and never let us go without. My husband and I have always worked multiple jobs to do whatever we could to provide for our family. With all that said without faith we would have been disappointed and discouraged more times than not. But looking up we have always been optimistic about the future.
Q: What is the most rewarding part?
Hard work always pays off. Never give up. The people in our community we have gotten to meet, other business owners that have become fast friends. Supporting one another!
Q: What are some of your future goals? Do you have anything exciting coming up that you would like to share?
We definitely have some future goals, ideas, and expansion thoughts. However, those will need to stay on the DL for now.
Q: What advice would you give to someone interested in doing something similar to what you have done/are doing?
Hustle! Hustle! Hustle! Work hard.
