The Establishment Salon In Silver Lake

As those of you who live in Silver Lake know, the section of W Silver Lake Dr to Rowena has been closed due to construction for like ever forcing everyone to take the windy backroads. But the city of LA is finally done doing whatever it is they were doing, and getting to Trader Joe’s is now less headachey. Although, once you’re there–bring some Advil. Driving that stretch of Rowena has alerted me to a brand new business: The Establishment Salon, which officially opens tomorrow, June 15th. Check out my interview with Establishment owner, Howie Goldklang.
