She Bought a Hair Salon in 1990 and Built a Med Spa Around It

In 1990, Tammie Riley bought a Fresno hair salon called Hungry Hair. In more than thirty-five years since, she did not flip it or franchise it. She built outward from it — adding medical-grade skincare, injectables, microneedling, skin resurfacing, wellness and supplement therapy, and hair restoration, until it became what the business calls “the finest full-service Spa/Salon venue in the Central San Joaquin Valley.”

More than thirty-five years in one place is its own credential. It means a business that survived every trend cycle the beauty industry threw at it by being useful rather than fashionable.

The all-under-one-roof model can be a warning sign when it is a shortcut. Built by the same owner since 1990, it is the opposite. Medical skincare lines like Alastin and SkinBetter sit beside the massage rooms, downstairs from the salon chairs.

If you want a Fresno practice with deep roots and a wide menu, Tammie Riley's business goes back to 1990.
