Focus On: Joyce’s Barber and Beauty Shop

LAKE PARK — Offering curls, cuts, and color is a barber and beauty salon that recently hit the city of Lake Park like a ton of bricks.

Well, maybe more like a ton of bobby pins.

It’s Joyce’s Barber & Beauty Shop.

After 32 years of experience, Joyce Seeman decided to open Joyce’s Barber & Beauty Shop on April 1 at 208 W. Marion Ave.

Among other things, a need for security was the driving force behind her business venture.

“This is my fifth barber shop,” said Seeman. “I came from Claudia’s full-service salon with good clients. I was no longer working there and had to do something.”

Seeman said the Lake Park community has been very supportive of her business.

She sees many old clients and has gained the trust of several new ones.

“People have been wonderful to me ...,” said Seeman. “I’ve just got some really good clients.”

Seeman credits her wide range of skills with her continued success in the business.

“I don’t really specialize in anything,” said Seeman. “After 32 years, I just do it all.”

When asked about the future, Seeman continued, “I see the business growing — growing big time. I would like to have another girl in here, maybe someone straight out of school who is willing to learn something.”

Seeman believes that what sets her shop apart from the competition is the convenience of having a beautician who is also a barber.

“I’m a female barber, and you don’t see many of them around.” Seeman said.

For more information on prices, appointments, or employment, please call Joyce Seeman at (229) 559-9433 or (229) 630-1220.

The shop is located off Highway 41 across from Lake Park City Hall.

  • Business Wish List Results

    The results are in from my very un-scientific poll on the businesses that people want to see come to Valdosta. After my comment last week that there seemed to be more requests for retail than restaurants, I was bombarded this week with restaurant suggestions, so I’m guessing even with an OG, readers aren’t quite satisfied yet.

  • 120201 tattoo1.jpg The Brass Quill Gallery


    VALDOSTA — The only way to describe The Brass Quill Gallery to someone who hasn’t witnessed the majesty of its interior is this: If Alice in Wonderland could be interpreted into a modern-day building decorated by the Mad Hatter — that’s The Brass Quill Gallery. It is arguably the most creative decorating scheme in Valdosta. It is because of the business’ unique style, that The Brass Quill Gallery is a metaphorical nest of creativity for those wanting to get inked.

  • BlackBerry’s Future?

    BlackBerry used to be the “it” phone. Notice I said used to be. Just as video killed the radio star, iPhone killed the BlackBerry.
    Blackberry has become the new “flip phone.” It’s ancient. It’s out of date and it can’t compete in the iPhone revolution of the smart(er) phone.

    HAHIRA — The Voice from “Field of Dreams” once famously intoned, “If you build it, they will come.” Stacey Dershimer hasn’t been Hahira’s downtown developmental coordinator for long — one month — but she’s been here long enough to know, if you build upon what you have, more people and more businesses will come.
