Back in the old days when “shag cuts” for women were the rage, Sue Fett decided it was time to go into business for herself – cutting hair.
The old days, in this case, mean 1974. Fett opened what is now a Bluffton salon institution called “Curling Iron.” Its first location was on North Main where pizza is now created at East of Chicago Pizza.
Fett moved the shop to its current location at 129 N. Main St., in 1979, when she and her husband, Bob, purchased the building. Deb Wentz joined the shop in 1988 and in 2002 purchased it from Fett.
Ten Thousand Villages, 115 S. Main St., is the host business to the Wednesday, Sept. 24, cash mob. Cash mob hours are 3:30 to 6 p.m.
According to Aphaphanh Nussbaum, store manager, the store will offer 30 percent off jewelry and personal accessories including scarves, bags, headbands and similar items. The shop will offer 50 percent of all sarongs.
In addition, all shoppers may register for a $25 shopping spree at Ten Thousand Villages.
The monthly cash mobs are a program of the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce to reinforce the concept of shopping locally.
