Participating in Zoom calls and webinars day in and day out is not normal for most salon owners, who typically are on their feet managing their businesses or servicing their guests. In a recent "SALON TODAY Conversations" video interview, Debra Penzone, co-owner of PENZONE Salons + Spas in Columbus, Ohio, shared some health and wellness tips designed to give these frayed owners a moment of pampering, a little extra vitality and a moment to stretch. 

In her kitchen, Penzone shared some of her favorite smoothie recipes, then she led us to her dining room table where she showed viewers a number of chair yoga stretches, and finally in her living room she shared a meditative moment. Catch the video and Penzone's recipes below:
