Montereau: After 40 years at the head of her hair salon, Martine Simard passes her hand

C’est une retraite bien méritée pour Martine Simard. Coiffeuse à Montereau depuis 1976 et propriétaire du salon de coiffure Tif Mode depuis 40 ans, d’abord à côté du bar-tabac Le Brazza, puis au 76, avenue du Général de Gaulle à partir de 2003, elle a décidé de céder son salon à Pamela Fournier, qui tenait depuis plusieurs années Coiffure de la gare, un salon qui, comme son nom l’indique, se situe juste à côté de la gare de Montereau.

"We have made several generations of Monterelais"

"We have styled several generations of Monterelais, from parents to children to grandchildren," says Jean-Pierre Simard, Martine's husband who held the show with his wife for many years before getting back in 2017for personal reasons.

"We see the children grow up, then they come to get their hair done with their wedding, then they bring their children to us.In fact, we have a bit of the same course as school mistresses, "adds, full of nostalgia, Martine Simard.

In addition to her husband's retirement, it was the health crisis that was one of the triggers of this decision to hand over: "First there was my husband's retirement, then COVVID helped meto think that it may have been time to anticipate a sale at one time or another, ”explains the hairdresser.

Finally, anticipation there will have been no need since during a discussion with Pamela Fournier, in the direction of the Hairstyle of the station, located a few hectometers from there, the owners of the fashion tif learn that thislast seeks to change the living room in order to grow, but above all to become the owner of the walls, which was not the case for her before.

Martine, who transformed this place into a hair salon (the place was previously a hairdressing bar for several decades before becoming a bar until the arrival of the Simard couple) having theintention that her "baby" remains a family hair salon, she quickly agrees with Pamela, who shares the same vision of the profession.

"I like to pamper my customers"

After setting the latest financial details, Pamela Fournier, 38, officially became the owner of Tif Mode on September 30.

"I have been a hairdresser since the age of 18.I worked in Chenoise, in Marolles and since 2013, I have been holding the station in Montereau.Being able to buy this lounge, it was perfect because I can stay in the sector.I am really 150 m from my old living room, I hope it will allow me to keep my customers, because it was my biggest fear by changing the living room, "she says.

Since Monday, October 4, the hairdresser has been able to receive her first customers, and it happens wonderfully: "I like to take the time with my customers, pamper them, I love it and here I find this atmosphere there.I want my clients to the train show and those of Mr. and Madame Simard get along and for the moment, this is going very well, "said Pamela Fournier.

On the employee side, the hairdressers who worked for Martine Simard, Katy and Elisabeth, 40 years of house, will obviously be preserved, and the customers of the show will also be able to benefit from the contribution of a new service with the arrival of Claire, ugular nail prosthetist.
