The hair salon we all know and love today actually was due to the entrepreneurial spirit of a Canadian woman named Martha Matilda Harper born in Ontario Canada in 1857.  She had spent most of her youth in servitude and after working for a German Holistic Doctor she became an advocate of natural hair care. During a time when most people either didn't wash their hair or used harsh soaps and had their hair done at home by servants, Harper would go on to create a franchise of "Hair Salons" and her services offered were known as the Harper Method.  Her followers... "Harperites"!

​Sadly, the last of the "Harper" Salons closed it's doors in 2005 in Rochester, NY:(
