Remodeling of the space for "INTER COIFFURE SHERI"
began in May of 1998. The salon opened in August, 1998 with
five hydrolic chairs and two sinks. T PPP would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Chris Erickson form the Belvedere Company in Minneapolis, MN and to Jim Grapinski from Pyramid Beauty Supply in St. Cloud, MN for their generosity and expertise in providing 90% of the supplies and equipment for the salon. Also, Pedro Cespedes in Paraguay lent a professional hand in securing a reasonable shipping charge and duty free clearance for the supplies and equipment through his import/export business. |
