By Sarah Loren When you blow out your candles on your 18th birth- day, you take on a whole new list of responsibilities. But when you also buy a business at the young age of 18, life can seem a bit overwhelming. “I did not want to own my own business,” said Cheri Cross, owner of Your Family Salon, located at 138 South Second Street in Bangor, Pennsylvania. That’s how Cheri felt 35 years ago when she was just 18 years old, working for Dorothy Shafer, former owner of the salon. Cheri began working for Dorothy in 1979, less than a year before she purchased the salon from Dorothy and made it her own. “I had a lot of ups and downs through the years, but I’m glad she talked me into buying it,” Cheri said. Three and a half decades later, Cheri couldn’t imagine herself anywhere other than her salon, working alongside her stylist of 22 years, Jaime Greene. Jaime started work- ing for Cheri as a “shampoo girl” before she received her cosmetology license. “Jaime’s not just an employee; she’s one of my best friends,” Cheri said. “We get along very well, which shows in our work environ- ment and helps our clients feel comfortable.” And that’s exactly how you’ll feel when you walk into the full-service hair salon for men, women and children. This comfortable, friendly atmosphere is evident in the salon’s customer base. “We have a very good clien- tele, and I would like to thank each and every one of my customers,” Cheri said. “I have many customers who have been with me since the very beginning and I’m thankful to them for standing by me through the years. “I’d also like to thank my new customers, and all the ones in between!” Over the past 35 years, Cheri’s customers have moved along with the salon from its original location at First and Market Streets in Bangor to its current location in 2002. Once Cheri purchased the building on South Second Street, her husband, Dennis, remodeled and created the salon as it is today. Along with a full list of salon services, Your Family Salon customers will also find a large selection of retail products from Matrix, Paul Mitchell, Wella, Farouk, and more. In celebration of her 35 year anniversary, Cheri is offering 25 percent off all retail purchases when customers mention The PRESS! Customers are welcome to call Your Family Salon at 610-588-2725 for an appointment, but walk-ins are also welcome. For more information, visit yourfamilysalon.com or stop by the salon during regular business hours: Tuesday and Wednesday, 8am to 5pm; Thursday, 8am to 7pm; Friday, 8am to 6pm; and Saturday, 8am to 2pm. The salon is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
