Shay’s Hair Studio recently opened at 1110 Peoria St., Peru.

Owner Shayla Saferite has been licensed since 2010 and worked for a corporate chain for the past 13 years, she said. She wanted to branch out and own her own business.

Shay’s offers cuts and color for men and women of all ages and is wheelchair accessible. Eyebrow and lip wax services also are available as well as beard trims.

The location was previously Waldorf Hair Company, owned by Dave Waldorf who retired earlier this year after about 50 years in business. Saferite said she chose her salon’s name as a nod to the Waldorf name.
