About the Salon:
Sistaz Hair Salon first opened their doors in 2000.Sharon Brown and Cheryl Henderson co-own the salon. When Sistaz Hair Salon was first instituted it was run from Brown’s garage that was converted into a Salon. Its tight quarters initiated the idea for an expansion of the salon in 2005 where it more than doubled its size. Now located at 502 4th Street in Lancaster the salon has had cause for celebration, as it has marked its establishment of more than 19 years in the small business community.Although the business has made such a definite impact in the business community and has become a pioneer as a successful, minority-owned business, it was not always an easy journey. After years of working under people Brown grew restless and decided she would work for herself. After graduating from the Lancaster School of Cosmetology, getting her associates degree in business and learning the business aspect of managing a hair salon she opened the doors, not only for Sistaz Hair Salon but also a door for dreams.

Sharon and Cheryl opened a door for minorities, women, and single parents to name a few, it made a statement that what can sometimes seem impossible is just in your reach.
