Whitesboro, NY – All About Hair salon, a local fixture in the community for the past twelve years, has announced its impending closure. The salon, located in Colonial Plaza, will cease operations in two weeks, with the final day of service set for May 31st, 2025.

The staff at All About Hair expressed their sadness over the closure decision, although no specific reasons have been provided for the salon’s shutdown. In the lead-up to the final days of operation, the salon is concentrating on clearing out its inventory, which includes state-of-the-art hair styling equipment.

The combination of skilled services and a community-focused approach contributed to the salon’s popularity amongst local residents.
The decision to close is a significant loss for the community, as All About Hair was not just a business but a place where residents gathered and created connections. As more local businesses exit the market, there are growing concerns about the economic health of the region.
The community has witnessed a surge of business closures recently, putting additional pressure on local economies. Residents have voiced their concerns about the implications of these closures and what it means for the future viability of the Mohawk Valley’s business landscape.
As the final days approach for All About Hair, the focus will remain on ensuring that clients have an opportunity to experience their services one last time and take advantage of clearance items before the salon’s doors close for good.
