Salon 561 at 561 Meeting Street in West Columbia had a one-year celebration celebration, Thursday.

Many members of the WECO River District Merchants Association came out to help celebrate the occasion. Light refreshments and drinks were served.

Joye Fowler, founder of Salon 561, never shies away from offering suggestions to help keep her clients looking fresh. Always game to experiment with new techniques, she enjoys working with a blend of multi-dimensional shades from sun-kissed blondes, to rich reds, to shiny brunettes. She routinely goes above and beyond for her clients. (Lisa Li Moye photo)
