“Health and wellness is extremely important,” says Brian Gaeto, owner of Harmony Hair, located at 824 E. Ogden Avenue in St. James Crossing. “The store owners up here have really jumped on board with this concept and we’re looking forward to a great event. Each store will have different specials and health related activities, and then we’ll have several wellness presentations including yoga, healthy dieting, martial arts and more.”
