Hair Bear has Birthday
First Year 'Hairy* Success
The Hair Bear, a shop for
everybody, is celebrating its
first anniversary this May here
in Warm Springs. The shop has
been so successful that the
owner-beautician, Myra John­
son, has been able to hire
Janet Billey as her assistant.
“This isn’t just a beauty
shop,” the two women said.
“We do hair for men, women,
and children.” The business is
split about equally between
men and women, according to
Myra.
The Hair Bear, located be­
hind Macy’s in a converted
$nd remodeled mobile home,
offers convenience and prices
that compare favorably with
Madras, Bend, and Portland.
The shop specializes in cut­
ting Indian people’s hair. One
of the shop’s customers said
■ that you can’t find people who
really know Indian hair any
other place around Central
Oregon. “I think there’s really
a future for the shop,” said
another satisfied customer.
When asked how the Hair
Bear got it’s name, Myra
smiled and said that, that was
an interesting experience, She
said she had a “name the
shop” contest. A box was put
in Macy’s store and about 50
entries submitted their ideas
for the shop’s name.
“A lot of good names were
suggested,” said Myra, “and it
was a difficult choice. Hair
' Bear was finally selected be­
cause it was different and
sounded cute, she said. The
prize was a $25 shop service.

LELAND TOM, who likes a medium length, has his hair styled so
it won’t look too short. It is a scissor-cut, and he also has a
permanent to help condition his hair, making it more manageable.

sor and razor); permanents;

manicures; facials; hair pieces
and wiglets; hair tinting; spe­
cial styling; and personalized,

Janet explained why per­
manents are so popular among

more manageable, gives it
more control, and softens and
conditions the hair,” she said.
“Also, it’s really a very quick
procedure.” ,
