Why did you decide to open your hair salon in Farmingdale?
Tamra: I've lived in Farmingdale for 12 years and it was mostly about convenience. I had a lot of clients from the area. Farmingdale is central so I can draw clients from the North Shore, South Shore and Manhattan. I chose this center over Main Street because the parking is much better and this center is very woman-friendly, with Jenny Craig and the massage salon.
