New York Metropolitan Area: Wall Street
built 235 days ago
Al Ferrigno came from the New York metropolitan area where he owned several award winning salons. On vacation, he and his family fell in love with the Sarasota area and saw the need for a precision haircutting salon. From there he opened the first New York Hair Company in 1980 on Main Street. The Main Street location quickly became very popular and once it was established, Al decided to branch out, opening the second New York Hair. He then moved into the Bradenton and Venice area.

New York City played a major role in World War II as a port and a centre of finance and industry. It emerged from the war as the leading city of the world, with Wall Street leading America's emergence as the world's dominant economic power, the United Nations headquarters (built in 1952) emphasizing its political influence, and the rise of Abstract Expressionism displacing Paris as the centre of the art world.
