Nicosia Beauty Salon At 1111 Rusk St.

[PBAYS]

Does anyone remember going to the Nicosia Beauty Salon in the 1930's? Mr. Nicosia's salon was in downtown Houston, but I cannot remember where. He also had a turkish bth at the same location. The Center for American History has some interior shots of the salon posted on their internet site.

I visited Mr. Nicosia's salon as a child with my mother. Supposedly he invented the first cream cold wave - a permanent wave technique.

My family knew some Nicosias, but I don't know if they had a beauty salon.

Here's a link to a picture I found in a google search.

I can vouch for your comment, I own the home that Mr. Nicosia built in 1933. The salon was at Main & Rusk in the Rusk Building.  Here is a 1942 Christmas ad from the paper for the salon.
