ABOUT US Chris Valavanis, owner The first Vanis Services were provided to clients in May 1985 in a small salon with a total staff of 3. We now offer 3 convenient locations: Schererville, Valparaiso and historic downtown Crown Point. Vanis Salon maintains its high standards with an apprenticeship program and goals along with ongoing training and education. Each salon was designed with a focus on natural forms, wood and stainless steel. These features are set into a palette which reflects the color of nature. The subtle hues are soft, complementary and have a calming effect ono the mind and body.
