One downtown Bethesda hair salon closes, another opens

Golden Crown Hair Design on Norfolk Avenue has closed, and the space is cleared out. A new hair salon is just getting started over at the Peripoint Building at 5001 Wilson Lane. I believe Salon Gerard has already been taking clients, but the sign was installed Tuesday evening. They finally took down the signs for Soup Up, which closed in that space quite a while back.

This may be the perfect type of business for the oddities of the building.

At least, better than soup.

I feel like Anna's fun fact of the day really relates to this blog's author

That peripoint building is a tough draw for tenants, no parking on site and you have to cross Old Georgetown to get there from the closest parking garage. These tenants are set up to fail.

Soup Up didn't do a good job marketing themselves. Other than the signs, I never heard much about them.

You should visit them to see if they can do anything with that ponytail Robby.

Dyer keeps deleting comments which note that the closed Golden Crown Hair Design is on Cheltenham, not Norfolk.

10:35: Look at Google maps, which says that block is Norfolk Avenue. Who do you believe, an anonymous cowardly troll not man enough to use his real name, or Google Maps?

Dyer, shitting on Google News being corrupt and everyone needs to stop using Google since you can buy stuff off, then attempts to use Google as a source. So which is it? Is Google trying that corrupt and untrustworthy, or is Google a trustworthy source when it agrees with you?

12:41pm spends too much time thinking about Dyer's business. What a waste of time.

Nearly a day later, and Dyer still hasn't corrected the street name.
