    My mother took me there in the 1950’s for my haircuts. Louis cut my hair in what was called the Dutch clip style.

    My grandmother went to Louis’s every month to get her haircut and it was already curly so she didn’t really need a set .

    My dear mother Helen Lynch, went to
    Louis & Co for over fifty years when it was located on East Broadway. She started going to the salon after she served in World War ll. She went for years to Ellie. She said she felt like a million bucks when she left the salon.
    I remember going to the salon to have my hair done for my SBHS prom. May 4, 1966. In those days “Southie ” was truly “Southie”. Congrats to all and enjoy your next chapter of life.
