Kim chose Charlotte, North Carolina as the latest spot for their venue and held the grand opening for the 5th location of Salon Se Swa on October 31st.
Patrons can now visit the 3,600 square-foot salon for wash and sets, hair weaves, eyelash sew-ins, relaxers, and wigs.
Lil Kim teamed up with Jones this past September to become co-owner of Salon Se Swa, which was established by Jones in 1999. The pair now have salon locations in Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Rocky Mount, North Carolina in addition to their latest shop.
“This new location allows us to cater to a larger customer base and better serve the needs of not only Charlotte, but also its surrounding areas,” Jones says.
“We are extremely excited about our upcoming Customer Appreciation Day. Our clientele is vital to the success of our blossoming business. They appreciate the high end services that we provide and we in turn appreciate them returning for a few hours each week, as they get dolled up and pampered.”

Rozay was hospitalized a few weeks ago after suffering two seizures within hours of each other, and explained in a recent interview that it may have been his hustlin mentality that’s to blame.
My personal mantra has always been “You sleep, we grind”…. well apparently in Ricky’s case, it was that lack of sleep that may have lead to serious health consequences.
Ross opened up on BET’s “106 & Park” yesterday, discussing, for the first time, the two seizures he suffered on that October 14th flight to Memphis.
“I felt a little wore out, but I felt that I could keep going and that’s what it was. I boarded a jet and I had ANOTHER seizure.? And when I snapped out of that one, I woke up in front of a doctor, who asked me, basically, ‘when was the last time you slept 8 hours’… and I said ‘man it had to be at least 5 years’… Continue Reading…
