Starting a New Business, Hometown Heroes

Cover photo: Beth Snider, 400 Edition 

No matter what type of business you would like to start, the articles found within our pages this month will be of tremendous benefit. We owe special thanks to the folks at the Small Business Development Center in Gainesville for their

significant contributions to this issue. They are a tremendous resource for any current or future business owner, so be sure to check them out on their web site or by calling 770-531-5681.

We couldn’t think of a better example of starting a new business successfully than Lava Hair Studio in Dawsonville. Owners Mario and Karen Rueda had a vision and executed it well, starting their Aveda salon with a lot of style. It’s a beautiful, warm, and welcoming environment. Be sure to read the whole story about Lava Hair Studio on page 32 of our print publication, and visit their web site at www.LavaHairStudio.com or call them at 706-429-0001.

Taking pictures of beautiful subjects always makes the photographer look good, but these folks are more than pretty faces—they have the skills and training to help you look your best. Lava Hair Studio provides a warm, spa-like environment that lets you know you’re in a top-notch salon. The friendliness of the owners and staff may catch you off guard, though--no snobby stylists here. They’re ready to provide the very best service to new and existing clients. 

We’re also expanding upon our Hometown Hero feature from last month, to include some interesting and selfless folks in the communities served by 400 Edition. Be sure to read about these ordinary people who have gone to extraordinary lengths to help their communities.

Enjoy these special features and the columnists you've come to love in the current issue of 400 Edition.
