Proving the Future is Female

Last fall three new businesses opened at the corner of Bagley and Trumbull in Corktown. The first was The Bearded Lady, a hair salon and barber shop that specializes in good quality haircuts and beauty services at affordable prices in the heart of Corktown. The second shop was Mama Coo's, an upscale resale and vintage boutique that also carries one of a kind handmade pieces. The final shop to open was The Farmer's Hand, a locally focused artisanal grocery store, and cafe. All three businesses are independently owned, but they share a storefront and one really cool feature, they are all female owned!

These three groups of women are separately set out to do something on their own, but came together to turn a dirty old corner into a beautiful storefront in Corktown. This Sunday they are coming together to celebrate their 1st anniversary by hosting a birthday party that is open to the public. The event will feature free kids' haircuts, chair massages, a pinata, games and a DJ. They will also be celebrating Meta Physica massage, a fourth female-owned business that will be opening in the complex soon! Hatch Detroit winners Lady of the House will also be opening their location in the building across the street formerly known as St. Cece's, which means that this is becoming quite a little corner!

Sunday's party runs from 3-6 p.m, come out and have some fun and show your support for the ladies who make this city move!
