I got this email last night from an OTBKB reader concerned that Hair Concern, upstairs on Seventh Avenue near Third Street, is going out of business.

Is Hair Concern going out!?? The hairdresser above the candy store on seventh ave between 2nd and 3rd Streets.

I started going there when I first moved to Brooklyn in
1982 when they were all the way down by flatbush on seventh. i called
sunday for an apptmt, left msg, no one called back, i walked down and
saw big for rent sign in
window.

A guy from dentist’s office who works in same building said one of the stylists is still coming in but that the owner was sick? He called him Mike but the guy i was thinking of was Peter.

Sad sad sad! I went there all these years because they had a
great motto: Haircutters who listen. Desperado for a trim, I went to Medusa Hair Salon and must say i got a wonderful cut – the girl who cut my hair
said medusa was started by someone who once worked at hair concern.

I
was worried they might try to dye my hair purple or something since the
girls in there are all very cooleo but they totally tuned in to me and
did a great job. I guess if i have to lose my old fave hair concern,
it’s good that i have a good new option.
