Whitney Kotowski has opened Mane Moxie, a hair salon at 3270 W. Iles.
Ive been doing hair for 20 years, Kotowski said. I wanted to do my own thing and have a more intimate atmosphere for my clients.
Kotowski looked at various locations but settled on the remaining 2,200 square feet in the West Iles Business Center, next to Tacology 201. The salon officially opened on Dec. 11 and has eight cutting stations and five coloring areas.
I have two assistants right now, and Im going to start employing other stylists come January, said Kotowski.
Ive had a lot of family help support me along this journey, and Im very thankful for everyone.
