About Anthony's Hair Inc.,

The story began in Malta in 1936 where Anthony's father was a barber. He operated his barber shop, the American Salon, in his living room.  In 1969, to honor his father, Tony opened American Salon for Men and Women in Dearborn with his brother George - who now owns George Paul Salon.

In 1972, Tony's brother Edward owned Sir Edward's Limited - a seven location hair salon.  Tony helped his brother run them, which were among the first unisex salons in Michigan.

Tony traveled to London, Paris and New York during the mid 1970's to train in the newest hairstyles and techniques by Vidal Sasson and Pierre Alexandre, to name a couple notables.  He eventually opened Anthony's Hair Salon in the building that is now Park Avenue Perk on Park Avenue.  He lived upstairs, while he operated the business downstairs with four employees.

About Sun Deck Tanning Studio Inc.,

Nancy did financial work for United Technologies in Dearborn (now Lear) in the mid 1980's.  There, she began researching tanning beds with a dream of eventually opening her own business.  Later she provided financial help - and bussed table - at Dominic's Pizzeria, her parents' Allen Park restaurant, which is now home to City Coffee House on Allen Road.

Nancy recalls receiving a gift certificate to Bloomingdale's and thought it would great to have a full service salon at downriver prices.  "We all deserve it here," she says matter-of-factly.

The building that is now the Sun Deck housed a couple different businesses that did not prosper as well, including a video store.  When the building became available in 1986 Nancy saw the opportunity to launch her new business... and the rest, as they say, is history.  In fact, they were the first tanning salon downriver and only the third in the state.
