We are flushing hydrants today.
It is normal to see discolored water. If you do notice your water looks rusty, run your cold tap until it clears and make sure water is clear before washing whites

🌟 Freeport Business Spotlight 🌟

This month’s spotlight shines on Uptown Hair Studio.

For the past 22 years, Uptown Hair Studio has been helping women in our community look and feel their very best.

Owner Gwen Shaw grew up right here in the Freeport community. What began as a dream quickly grew into a thriving business built on passion, hard work, and a love for serving others.

In 2012, Gwen and her husband, Nicholas, took the next big step by purchasing land and building the beautiful custom salon that Uptown Hair Studio calls home today.

Over the years, Uptown has expanded beyond hair services to include a beautiful selection of women’s clothing, creating a unique experience where clients can refresh their style from head to toe.

“I love helping busy women feel their very best inside and out. I am truly blessed to have a career that I absolutely love, thanks to the support of my family, Elaine Hoeschen, and all of our wonderful clients.”

Today, Uptown Hair Studio continues to redefine the neighborhood salon experience offering a place where women can relax, unwind, shop, and leave feeling beautiful.

We’re grateful to have businesses like Uptown Hair Studio investing in Freeport and helping our local economy thrive. Thank you for being part of our community, we look forward to your continued success! 👏
