Salon Features Graffiti, ‘Shear’ Expertise
It was James Dean, Elvis
Presley and Marilyn Monroe that
presented near-instant credibility to
Hollywood producers in the 1950'5.
Today, nearing half a century later,
one local business is sharing in that
same popularity thanks to a flavor
of that same era and some "shear"
expertise.
Graffiti Hair Salon, once a
typical salon in the business world,
now credits itself with being one of
the most unique.
"We pride ourselves on not only
what we have to offer our clients to
make them look and feel better
about themselves," said shop owner
Davida Kemp Simpson, "but also
our diverse atmosphere."
A number of pieces of
memorabelia can be found inside
the door at Graffiti's well
established Main St. location.
There's the familiar faces of Dean,
Presley and Monroe; the once
popular neon lighting; an
abundance of Coca Cola treasures;
and, the official trademark of
yesteryear, a 1959 Seeburg
jukebox.
"It's been so much fun,”
Simpson said of the jukebox. "It
was really amazing at how people
responded to the 'oldies' that were
placed in there...unlike a lot of new
records, the old ones are so popular
that no one ever gets tired of
listening to them.”
The purchase also set the tone
for something other than music, as
the salon now caters to special
requests for birthday parties
complete with banners, hair styles,
makeovers and manicures for all of
the invited guests.
"We've already booked a few
parties, and the results have been
just fantastic," Simpson said. "The
kids are able to play the jukebox,
dance, and just get really creative as
to what they want to do with their
looks for the day. I guess you

The shop offers catering for a
small additional fee, and
appointments can be made by
calling the salon at least three to
four weeks in advance.
But as always, it's not just the
image of a business that plays a
vital role in daily operations.
There’s also other major
components that carries success to
another level.
"There's no doubt, we have one
of the greatest staffs I've ever
worked with in my 11 years in the
business," Simpson said, in
reference to Lana Holder, Lisa West
and Denise Burdeshaw.

desire that Simpson said has
actually made the Graffiti name and
reputation what it is today.
"It's so important to stay up to
date on the latest styles and trends
in the industry," she said. "That's
why we, as designers, realize that
each person that walks through our
door is different Whether they're in
the salon 15 minutes or two hours,
we try to cater to their every
request"
Because of that realization, each
stylist is required to attend hair
demonstrations throughout Georgia
each year, as well as sit in on in
salon training sessions taught by
Simpson, herself an educator for
Tressa, a Cincinnati, Ohio-based
product company.
But despite what can oftentimes
be a very demanding schedule,
Simpson said she wouldn't trade the
career for any other. And, speaking
on behalf of her co-workers,
sheadded there is always a personal
feeling of satisfaction with each and
every passing day.
"We really enjoy our work. I
hope tliat's evident when someone
walks through the door and we greet
them," Simpson said. "It can
oftentimes be very challenging, and
you're always learning something
new, but it's also a very rewarding
profession. I'ts all about making
people feel good about themselves,
and if you can accomplish that, you
know you've chosen the right
career."
