1950s-style beauty salon takes customers down memory lane

Residents in Boynton Beach can take a 1950s-style stroll down memory lane, while getting their hair cut and styled.
The Stylish Beauty Parlor at 4953 Le Chalet Blvd. in West Boynton has a '50s theme with a jukebox playing music in the background, free cookies and cake, and a relaxation area for people to mingle while catching up.
Tina Baca, the salon's owner, said the idea is to bring back old-fashioned hospitality and service to West Boynton.
“It is great. We serve ice cream in the summer and strawberries during Valentine’s Day,” she said. “We want this to be a place were customers get their hair done but stay after to reminisce and talk to each other.”
Haircuts for women are $15 and $10 for men. Coloring is $22.
Customer Marcella Chilcote grew up in the '50s and said the parlor is a throwback that makes her feel young again.
“I just love the atmosphere and come here all the time to get highlights and the total package,” she said.
For information, call Stylish Beauty Parlor at 561-742-5322.
