HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE – There’s a new beauty salon in the Hardester’s Plaza. Patrice Ryan, along with her husband Daren, opened Dream Beauty Salon as a sister salon to the original Dream in Lakeport.
Patrice Ryan has years of experience in beauty-related businesses that she has run in the Bay Area and Lake County. Before opening Dream, she traveled throughout our county as a salon consultant for the corporate beauty industry.
She advised and educated salon owners, hairstylists and other salon personnel about new products, market trends, sales strategies and business building techniques.
While Ryan enjoyed coaching others, she dreamed of opening her own salon and spending less time on the road and more time serving customers directly.
The salon is not only a realization of Ryan’s dream, it’s also a place for her customers to realize their own dreams, whether it’s a dream wedding, a dream date or a new look for a dream job. Besides the traditional hair services, Dream offers manicures and pedicures, massage, hair and eyelash extensions, Dream girl birthday parties, mineral makeup, makeovers and photo shoots.
The Dream door is always open to licensed hairstylists or anyone wishing to pursue a career in the beauty industry.
Though Ryan no longer earns a living as a salon consultant, she still loves to motivate others to achieve and continues to do so through her salons. To that end, Dream has an apprentice program that allows prospective hairstylists to earn an income while simultaneously attending school.
Dream Beauty Store and Salon is located at the Hidden Valley Lake Hardester's Plaza, 987-0161.

“Both of these candidates came very highly recommended both by local growers and producers and by statewide industry representatives,” said Secretary Kawamura. “Marilyn and Jim share the board’s aim to improve and accelerate research efforts toward a solution to the complex challenges posed by this pest and disease.”
Marilyn Wolf has been appointed to the vacancy created by the resignation of Jim Unti. Wolf specializes in grower relations for Constellation Wines US/Robert Mondavi Woodbridge and will represent producer/processors in the Central Valley wine grape growing region. She has been active in the wine industry for close to 25 years.
Jim Ledbetter has been appointed to the vacancy created by the resignation of Frank Leeds. Ledbetter is president and partner of Vino Farms and will represent producers in the North Coast wine grape growing region. The Ledbetter family has been farming in California since the 1930s and has a legacy of leadership in agriculture with their involvement in a number of wine grape associations and initiatives in the state.
The Pierce’s Disease/Glassy-winged Sharpshooter Board was established in July 2001 to support scientific research to find a cure for Pierce’s disease. An annual assessment paid by winegrape growers supports its research efforts. The board also advises the California Department of Food and Agriculture on a variety of issues pertaining to Pierce’s disease and the glassy-winged sharpshooter.
While Pierce’s disease has been in California for a century or more, the establishment of the glassy-winged sharpshooter infestation in Southern California in the late 1990s suddenly thrust the disease to the top of the list of threats to crops ranging from grapes to alfalfa to stone fruits. Because of its biology and its broad range of hosts for feeding, the pest is particularly well-suited for spreading the bacteria that cause Pierce’s disease.
