But take a look closer and you'll see that these twelve salons have a rich diversity of culture and business.The options include: Francis Beauty Salon Unisex, Yadira's Beauty Salon, S-LO's Beauty Salon, Diana's New Attitude Salon and Spa, Freshcuts Barber and Beauty Salon, Precision Vision Beauty & Barber Salon, Praise Beauty Salon, Our Place Hair & Skin Care Salon, Fireh Estetica Unisex, Hair It Is, U.R. Hair Style Hair Salon and Besy's Beauty Salon. For locations along Jefferson Boulevard, see the map at the bottom of the page.

Salons on Jefferson have been relatively successful in maintaining business throughout the struggling economic times. After visiting each salon and learning about their financial situations a common theme emerged. Salons that had been there longer had less difficulty adapting to the tough economy than those that had just started. This was because salons like S-LO's Beauty Salon, which has been around for 20 years, have a strong customer following established. Marina, the owner of S-LO's Beauty Salon, said that even with the bad economy her loyal customers have continued to come. On the other hand, Diana's New Attitude Salon and Spa, which has been around for only 2 years, is struggling more. "We were doing great our first year open but this year has been much slower," Diana, owner of Diana's New Attitude Salon and Spa, said. There are also salons in the middle that have noticed change. The owner of Yadira's Beauty Salon, which has been around for six years, mentioned that while they still have a good amount of business their regular customers are coming in fewer times than usual to save money.

What makes customers continue to spend their time and money at salons? Long time customer of S-LO's Beauty Salon, Maria Diaz, says she enjoys being there. "I really like the place because it feels like home. I've come here for so long, it's what I like," Diaz said. A customer of Hair It is, Reggie Tompson, says it's all about the price. "I come here because it's cheap and I can afford it," Tompson said. Whether it's the welcoming environment or the good price, salons are a strong part of the community. Struggling economy or not, they are staying right where they are.


Yadira's Beauty Salon | Yadira's Beauty Salon is owned by Yadira and has three other cosmotologists as well. Together they cover the basics from manicures, pedicures, hair, dyes and more.


Hair It Is | Hair It Is is a salon that caters to both men and women. They do haircuts, styles and more. This particular sylist slogan is, "If you don't like it, you don't pay!"
