Why did you choose Highlands to do business in?

I chose Highlands because I had purchased a home in the neighborhood in 1997 off of Perry St and 38th Ave. At the time I use to tell people it was the next Wash Park and I was right. We loved the neighborhood and 32nd Ave was the place to be so we decided to open the salon on 32nd and Julian St in 2000.
