I photographed Shear Looks Salon in Lilburn for the Lilburn Patch newspaper on Thursday, December 29, 2011. The hair salon is owned by Sandra Gordon who opened her doors 23 years ago. Gordon was inspired to get involved with styling after advice from a teacher while attending Parkview High School. These are some of my favorite images.
