Andrea Maleu and Joy Guzikowski didn't realize the name they chose for their new salon would become a literal interpretation of the dreams of branching out on their own.

Location is everything, especially in Bay View
Location, location, location: it’s an overused cliché, but still appropriate in all too many instances. In this case, location is the difference between the corner of Lincoln and Howell and the corner of Lincoln and Kinnickinnic Avenues.
