Maybe it’s the squeeze everyone is feeling these days, but I’ve just read about a second example of two small businesses combing into one business establishment. I admit – the first was in a book I was reading. The union brought on by friendship and a need for a job by all three friends. One third of an old house a book store, one third an art gallery, and one third a retro beauty shop. Then I read a similar story but it’s non-fiction and it was a marriage of a beauty shop and a tattoo parlor located in Brooklyn called Glamour Garage. The person responsible is Rebecca Faye the owner of Hello Beautiful Hair Salon. She loves tattoos and sports quite a few in addition to her sexy staff. Visit her site and show support for her business if you live in the Brooklyn area.
Rebecca feels the two worlds are similar – each is used as a way to sport your individuality. Letting your freak flag fly if you will. Outstanding idea. I would guess that people that may have been hesitating before making the big move to WALK into a real tattoo parlor will find this type of transition easier.

I opened my first tattoo studio in 1986.
It was a combo Tattoo + Hairstyling + Photography studio.
I had to ditch the styling after less than a year.
I again tried combining them in 1993 by having them as t semi seperate things sharing the same fron lobby.
It worked fine.
Closed that shop in 03 to travel.
I currently am employed as a tattooist at a spa, salon, piercing, retail place.
I have never seen a place like this before. I think the concept is awesome! When I was looking at getting my first tattoo I was a little hesitant about going in a real tattoo parlor, even though the people were great, I was still pretty nervous, a place like this is great for people like me! I also think working at a place like that would be very cool, because there are so many different kinds of things going on, all art related in some way.
Yet another interesting piece of info, keep em coming!
Good to know people are reading – it’s what I live for! – thanks
Much love for developing this work, i find it most knowledgable. I am to start up a special story about hairdressing so obviously ye know your stuff.
I’ve never seen or heard of a place like this before. I can imagine that it started with some friends though, wanting to create one shop they could all work in together?
