Armstrong barbershop is on 8th Ave North, West of downtown about 1 mile, and it has been open since 1952. The proprietor is a superb barber. Although most of his clientele are Black, he does people of every shade and color and does so in a way that is guaranteed to make you look better. He takes his time. His store's decorations, a living museum, offer testimony to his long involvemen the civil rights movement in Alabama and the history of civil rights across the country. A visit to his store will deepen your sense of history. You will learn about World War 2, about George Wallace, about trying to get the vote in Alabama or anything else. Get ready to be educated while you are prettified.

This is a great place to go to for all your scent-tastic (I just made that word up, isn't it fabulous?) needs. Here they sell all kinds of wonderful lotions, body sprays, soaps, and more. Everything you'd need for a relaxing day in the bath can be found here. What I love about this place is that they always have new scents to try out. This is where I get all of my lotions. They also have gift baskets, which make for perfect presents for friends and family.

This large accommodating salon has numerous highly skilled stylists and manicurists in a beautifully appointed, relaxing, atmosphere. Headquarters also features an enestician (facials) who gives a perfect brow wax. Most of the stylists have 25 years or more experience and there are even a few who attend yearly continuing education seminars to keep up with all the new trends. I personally recommend any of them as they are all very talented. The particular stylist I visited is Fran Pala. Check out Headquarters, you won't be disappointed.

I went to Mitchell's Day Spa, it is so great. The atmosphere is laid back, not as hoity toity as most spas. They get you relaxed in a whirlpool tub, then they start the magic. I got to pick if I wanted a man or woman to do the massage. They are very sensitive and ask you what you want to have massaged, and what you don't want to have massaged. They give you plenty of time after the massage to just lay on the table and relax.
The prices are very reasonable.
Great for a gift or for you.

Classy Cuts is a wonderful salon, the lady who owns it is always there. Most of the people who work there have been there for years.
Manicures - Gail and Bridgette and Kioko, they are all great! I can't recommend one, because they are all equally fabulous.
Hair - Nina, Darlene, and Jodi - These are a few who have been there since I can remember, and they are all excellent. (be careful don't make Nina mad, she'll curse you in Greek, just kidding, I think she's taking her hormones recently)
Prices - Reasonable, all the operators set their own prices based a lot on experience.
Customer Service - Great
Parking - Great

I had terrifc service from this store on my last two visits. On my first visit I pulled up to find one of the assistant managers out in the freezing cold pushing buggies into the store for customers. I thought that was very nice and friendly of him. On my second visit I went with the intention of purchasing hair coloring that was on sale. Unfortunately they were out of the colors I wanted and the cashier gladly wrote a rain check for my next visit. She was very kind and I was very pleased with the service I received.

Who wants to pay high prices for dry cleaning? Not me. I was so happy to find this place. They dry clean for 1.99 per piece and launder men's shirts for 99 cents. They have done a great job on everything I have taken there. They even cleaned our wool coats for 1.99. If you are in a rush, you can pull up to the side door and they will serve you from your car. The prices are cheap but the service is top notch.

I don't buy the majority of my cosmetics and drugs at Walgreens because they are more expensive there. However, I visit Walgreens at least once a month because of a really cool promotion that they have. Every month in their Easy Saver(TM) Catalog they have from 2-5 products that are free after rebate. These are generally useful items like shampoo and toothpaste. I haven't had to pay for a toothbrush in months! Although the rebate does not cover the tax, there is an option to receive your rebate on a store gift card. If you choose the gift card, they add ten percent to your rebate. This extra ten percent conveniently pays for the sales tax.
