In addition to hair care services the facility is known for providing facials, nail care and selling high quality hair care products.

<description><![CDATA[ This sports bar offers a diverse list of attractions and has realized consistent revenue growth since 2007. The business has had zero advertising expense and is located in a growing area with a high traffic pattern. A buyer with marketing and entertainment experience has a great foundation to build upon and has an opportunity to reach a growing population, many of whom are new to the area and unaware of the business. The market for entertainment is dynamic with businesses opening/closing and changing ownership. This business has been successful/growing since 2003 and offers a menu of affordable entertainment that provides an outlet in the tough economy. The business has been expanding its entertainment offerings and the current food menu is modest. A formal marketing/advertising program may increase traffic and an enhanced menu may prove to be an additional draw for customer traffic during off peak times. The owner wants to sell to pursue other interests, and the general manager is retiring. The business was established in 2003. The hours of operation are 11 AM - 2 AM daily. ]]> </description>
