MOTHER, DAUGHTER OPEN HAIR SALON IN SCOTT CITY

SCOTT CITY -- Unique Boutique, a hair salon, opened in Scott City last week. It is situated in the Midtown Shopping Center, 1302 Main.

Co-owners Sandy Reeder and Jill Fuqua, a mother and daughter team, opened the shop.

"We are a full service hair salon," said Fuqua, "and we have wigs and hairpieces available."

In addition to the beauty salon services, the boutique offers a variety of craft and gift merchandise.

"We have wood crafts and baskets, earrings, barrettes, silk flower arrangements and umbrellas made by different people," she said. "We sell them on consignment. We have merchandise from Betty Jaco, Lila Dunning, Joan Gones and Cathy Schultz."

For now, Reeder and Fuqua are the two operators in the salon. They have four styling booths available and plan to have more operators later.

They also plan to add a tanning booth and handle pre-owned wedding and formal wear on consignment. The business is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, until noon Saturdays and by appointment.

Fuqua was certified at Stage 1 Hair School in Cape Girardeau last year. She worked eight months at Regis in Cape Girardeau. Fuqua and her daughter live in Scott City.

Reeder, a licensed cosmetologist for 25 years, has owned her own shop in the past. She and her husband, Rich, live in Scott City and have two other daughters beside Fuqua.
