Hair of A Different Color opens in Fairview

Michele May gives her grandfather James Tittsworth a trim at her newly opened shop called Hair of A Different Color.

Michele May has been cutting hair for five years, but this is the first time she’s gone into business for herself. She has opened Hair of A Different Color on Beersheba Street right next to her mother’s longtime business, A&J Truck Brokers.

“Semi trucks are constantly coming in here and the drivers are always wanting their hair cut,” said Michele. “And they’re having to wait a little while any way so this gives them a chance to get a haircut without having to find a place somewhere in town.”

That never occurred to me, but it makes sense. Truckers who are out on the road probably struggle to find a barber and having one at a truck stop certainly makes life easier.

But Michele isn’t confining her business to truckers. As a full-service stylist who can do nails, give facials and perform waxing, Michele caters to women and her first week of business has been a busy one.

“I’ve been swamped,” she said.

Being located next to A&J Truck Brokers also has other advantages. She can also continue to do book work for her mom, Angela Whitman, in her spare time.

Michele’s phone number is 668-6141.
