Tuscan Sun Spa and Salon at 604 W. McMurray Road in North Strabane
A West Virginia-based salon and spa is heading to North Strabane Township, with a pledge to make you look good.
Tuscan Sun Spa and Salon is planning to open there in late May or early June, according to an employee at a Tuscan spa out of state. The company did not respond to an online query seeking more specifics.
The North Strabane spa is on track to open at 604 W. McMurray Road, where Merante Brothers Market operated before closing in late 2014. The existing structure sits across from All Saints Greek Orthodox Church, is visible to northbound motorists on Interstate 79 and is a short drive from Southpointe.
A sign in one window said jobs are available with a sign-on bonus for full-timers.
Services include facials, nail care, lashes, eyebrow waxing, makeup and hair treatments, extensions and restoration.
This will be the company’s fifth location, and first in Pennsylvania. Tuscan Sun also operates in Latham, N.Y.; and Morgantown, Clarksburg and Fairmont, W.Va., where it is headquartered.

A Glimmer of Hope, a breast cancer advocacy organization based in Pittsburgh, is partnering with Pirates Charities and Allegheny Health Network to provide free mammograms to eligible women under age 40.
The American Cancer Society recommends that women who are at average risk begin annual mammography screening at age 45, with an option to begin at 40. Mammograms detect breast cancer at its earliest stages, when it is most curable.
Women may need a mammogram before age 40 for a number of reasons, including a genetic risk of breast cancer, or finding a lump, but may not always have insurance to cover the cost.
Any woman under 40 who is uninsured, or who has been denied coverage, is eligible for a no-cost mammogram at AHN Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh’s North Side.
