For more than 25 years The Hair Shanty has been nurturing the hair styling needs of loyal clientele. Their success has been built on a firm foundation of consistent ownership, long time experienced stylists and satisfied customers.
Janet Tucker and Beverly Burnsed Spencer were once (and still are) two of those loyal patrons of The Hair Shanty. In 1985 they purchased the business and to this day they have perpetuated the business philosophy of building long term relationships with their operators and clients. Two of “The Shanty’s” seven current stylists came with the business in 1985 and every effort is made to foster “Clients for Life”.
The Hair Shanty is located at 2130 Harden Boulevard, in the building they share with Fred’s Market at Beacon Road. Seven operators/stylists are available to serve their clients by appointment.
The Hair Shanty offers full service salon procedures and carries hair, skin and make-up products for their customers.
As a group they support and promote the annual Autism Awareness Walk. Additionally, managing partner Janet Tucker is active in a wide variety of civic endeavors such as Lakeland Downtown Development Authority (LDDA), Polk Museum of Art Board, Downtown Lakeland Partnership (DLP) Board, Leadership Lakeland, Lakeland Area Chamber of Commerce Board, recipient of “The Dudley Uphoff Award” which is DLP’s highest achievement and many other church and civic activities.
Beverly Burnsed served Polk County in the Florida House of Representatives for 12 years. (1976-1988) She married Ronald Spencer who served as Executive Vice President of the Florida Chamber of Commerce. Beverly continued in state government as Assistant Secretary of State. She also served as the first female Vice President of Alumni affairs at Florida State University.
The Hair Shanty is proud of the support of their clients and the good “Word of Mouth” advertising they have enjoyed over the years.
The Lakeland Area Chamber of Commerce would like to congratulate The Hair Shanty as the Small Business of the Month for June.
