The last year has gone by fast for Nancy Campobasso, but she'll be taking some time soon to celebrate her salon's success with the community.

It was one year ago today that Campobasso opened Nancy's Family Salon in Haines Square at 429 Salem St. and later this month she'll be marking the occasion with a public open house.

It will take place Sunday, March 24 at the salon from 12 to 3 p.m. Campobasso said she anticipates Mayor Michael McGlynn and other local officials will attend, and the day will include food, drinks and door prizes.

"It's flown by," Campobasso said of the last year. "I've tripled my clientele, it's been a great opportunity."

Campobasso -- who is active in numerous local organizations including organizing the Haines Square Fall Festival -- was previously a stylist at Angles and has 13 years of experience as a stylist.
