Business name: Hair Options.
Owner: Kathy Bennett.
Address: 14313 N.E. 20th Ave., Vancouver.
What the business does: Hair Options is a full-service hair salon which also sells wigs and hair pieces, turbans and wig styling products.
How has the economy affected your business: Our primary clients for hair pieces are people who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy. The economy has not really affected our business much. Most people feel much better over all if their hair looks nice, so they are willing to do what is needed to make that happen.
Greatest challenge: The greatest challenge is to keep a variety of wig styles and colors, and in a price range, to fit our clients.
What’s ahead: Bennett plans to increase inventory of wigs, hair pieces and accessories. She also would like to offer custom-order hairpieces and related services.
