Lifestyles 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 Book Club Donates Books To Library The Wednesday Afternoon Book Club held its March meeting on the 16th at the home of Mrs. Margaret Talton with Mrs. Dot Greene as co hostess.

Announcement was made of delivery of four books given by the club to Perry Library in honor of deceased relatives of club members. Mrs. Louise Lawson announced plans for the Annual Spring Luncheon which will be held on April 20 at the New Perry Hotel. Reservations must be turned in by April 18. Mrs. Coralie Nunn, program chairman, introduced the program presented by Mrs. Hilda Walker. Everyone enjoyed her discussion of the books of Bob and Peggy Benson, "Listening to a God Who Whispers" and "Laughter in The Walls" which included several lovely sentimental poems.

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.

"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."
