Guys & Dolls Hair Studio continues to move closer to downtown while staying on Main Street, but owner Mindy Hunziger says a different factor has caused the moves.

“We have been presented with a great opportunity at our new space,” Hunziger said. “It’s a unique combination of more space, more opportunities to display product on the styling floor, and more storage and office space.

“The fact that it’s closer to downtown doesn’t hurt either, but we didn’t move here strictly to be close to downtown.”

Hunziger hopes Guys & Dolls will see an increase in walk-in traffic at their new location, as they are in closer proximity to other stores and shops, so both men and women may stop in while shopping for other items downtown.

Hunziger said the studio celebrated its seventh anniversary in November, and despite the move, they still offer all of the services customers have come to expect, such as waxing and spray tanning.

“Because we have more ‘elbow room,’ we have separate, private areas for waxing and spray tanning,” Hunziger said. “We also have a full basement for storage and room upstairs for storage and an office.

“I like having an office at work instead of at my home. It helps allow me to keep my business life separate from my family life.”

Guys & Dolls Hair Salon is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number remains 660.582.4900.

“We’ve been here eight days, and we really love it.” Hunziger said. “The extra space is fantastic.”
