Mrs Barbara was a customer that my salon will never forget. She would come in quiet and then speak with a stern tone. She would often get me to order wing from the restaurant across the street to take home to her son and his family. When she spoke about his daughter she displayed an amazing smile. Even though she was much older then me, I would treat her as if she was the baby and she would go along with whatever I said. Mrs Barbara was true family & with that being said FAMILY we will keep all of youin prayer. Cherri Day, Sheron Morris and the entire CheRons Place Hair Studio Family
