We received an email from Misti asking us to post her note below as a way of publically saying thank you.
Having lived here for 4 years now, I am keenly aware of what an amazing city Decatur is to live in, and that was proven to me again this Wednesday with a very simple and appreciated gesture by a local business. Unfortunately I lost my job as an Operations Manager at a construction company last December. Getting up every day to job search is challenging enough and with the constant bad news about the economy, it’s hard to stay positive.
Recently, I stumbled upon a tiny ad for a free haircut at Salon Red for discouraged individuals like me. For a very proud person, making the call to take advantage of a free haircut was quite humbling for me. Three months ago, I would have never imagined the value a haircut would have, as it has become a luxury I could do without.
I am grateful for the owner and staff at Salon Red for putting happiness into my week. Salon Red truly exemplifies the Decatur community we all love, and I just wanted to say thanks and encourage my fellow neighbors to support such a giving Decatur business. I can say with certainty that Salon Red has earned my business as soon as I am back to work.

Thanks for sharing, Misti! Just when I don’t think Decatur can get any better- it does!
Good luck job hunting. We’ll keep our fingers crossed!
