Beauty Salons
L' Excellent Salón "Calidad en el Servicio"
The owners Eunice and Jeannette are always on hand and run a tight business. You tell them what you want, they give you tickets then you are on your way. I love the hair washing, they give you a nice massage when they wash your hair. Then the owners make sure you go to the best beautician for your hair type and the style you want. They have different daily specials.

Barbers
A barber shop is a social experience for the men just as a beauty salon is for the ladies. Many men go a few times a week for a shave, trim and just to talk and catch up on the local gossip. So many Dominican men do not shave themselves because a shave by a Barber is so inexpensive. Now there are a few Co-ed salons which cater to both men and women in the same business.
