For Karah Roop and Susan Contario Saturday was a day they had worked for.  The DeSoto Parish Chamber of Commerce came to their new business on US 171 for a formal ribbon cutting.  The business is Salon 171.

Roop and Contario remodeled the McCoy’s restaurant building into a modern, tastefully decorated salon.  On Saturday afternoon the place was bustling with activity, only pausing long enough for a group photo of the ribbon cutting.

Contario told the Journal they welcome appointments and walk-in business as well.  She said, “We are a family salon.  There are 8 stylists/barbers on staff and we hope to add one more.”

For more information, call them at 925-4044.
