A new beauty salon has opened in downtown Rochester, and the owner is offering discounts for those who help keep the community safe.

Freedom Beauty Salon, located at 7 Hanson St., opened in December. The salon offers discounted haircuts to veterans, those in active military duty, police officers, firefighters and first-responder EMTs, said owner Jenni Olson.

Olson, of Rochester, has previously been the area manager for the Great Clips hair salon in Rochester and Concord, and has also worked at Tresses in Rochester. In opening up her own business, she wanted to offer a place that offers not just haircuts, but full beauty service including hair coloring, waxing, a nail salon and hair styling.

“I want customers to come in and be able to do it all in one facility,” said Olson.

After advice from a friend who works in real estate, she decided to open her own beauty salon.

“I decided it was time. It was now or never,” said Olson, 33.

Olson looked at several possible locations for her business, and the building at 7 Hanson St. seemed ideal.

“I fell in love with the building,” she said. “It’s an older building, I like primitive. This building has a lot of charm to me.”

The location is also desirable – the salon is located in downtown, but is tucked away from the main strip, she said.

Olson signed the three-year lease on the building in October. Although she may consider purchasing the building down the road, she will be taking her new business venture one step at a time.

Before opening, there were two months of renovations that included new flooring, repainting the walls, installing new plumbing and electrical work, and putting in the insulation in the basement.

So far, Olson has had business from many of her regular customers that she had gotten to know through her work at previous salons. Newer customers have been slower to get through the doors, and Olson hopes to see more veterans, active military members, and first-responders walk through her doors for discounted haircuts.

In a recent interview, Olson spoke about her decision to name her salon after the word “freedom.”

“‘Freedom’ came to me because I never worked at a salon where you could be who you are,” she said.

At Freedom Beauty Salon, Olson is striving to bring positive energy to her clients. She said she is an upbeat, happy person “and people feel that.”

As she spoke about her work in the beauty industry, Olson said, “It’s my passion. It’s my happy spot. I love making people feel better.”

“I want to run a salon the right way,” she said. “I want to have a positive experience, with morals that I know are true. I always want to be true to who I am and always be true to my employees.”

So far Olson has one employee, who is the lead stylist. But Olson will soon also have an apprentice and additional employees down the road, she said.

“It’s a great start. I’m more than lucky with what I have,” said Olson.

The salon also features a playroom for kids. Olson said she wants her clients to be comfortable bringing their children.

“When mothers get their haircuts the children have somewhere to go,” said Olson.

This past July, Leslie Jones was preparing to make the leap from Saturday Night Live cast member to legit movie actress, costarring alongside comedy’s biggest names in the hotly anticipated Ghostbusters. Jones should have been elated. Instead, she was stressed out. Not only was she under a daily siege of highly pub- licized, baldly racist attacks by social media trolls, but about two weeks before the movie’s premiere—the single most photographed night of her career—she had nothing to wear, and no prospects in sight. In desperation and disgust, Jones took to Twitter, calling out designers for not offering to help. Surfing above the hate mail came a reply: two “waving hand” emojis from Christian Siriano—his way of saying, “Come over here, girl. I’d love to celebrity dresses you.” (Her response: “yaaaaaassssss.”) At the premiere, Jones stepped onto the ectoplasm-green carpet in a regal, off-the-shoulder red Siriano. The designer Instagrammed her photo with the hashtag #prettywoman. Jones raves, “We are now friends for life! I love this man. He saw the beauty in me, in every woman.”

Fourteen days later, at the Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama—the best thing to happen to American fashion since the Singer sewing machine—strode onstage to de- liver the most stirring speech of her political life in a simple, cobalt-blue full-skirted dress. Its designer? Christian Siriano.

Finally. It has taken nine long years for the arbiters of fashion to give in to the indisputable reality that Christian Siriano—the hair-gelled, finger-snapping alum not of Parsons or FIT but of Project Runway, season four—has the talent, focus, and obviously the perseverance to be a viable and, for a rapidly growing circle of wom- en, welcome force in American fashion.

It’s not as if Siriano has lacked for recognition. But fame, especially for a reality TV star, does not equal respect (see: Kardashians, Hiltons, Bachelorettes, et al.), and in an industry in which sharp- eyed insiders often compete for the self-satisfaction of anointing unknown talent, Siriano’s instant, unmistakably mass appeal following his Runway win was long cause for disdain. You can’t claim credit for “discovering” someone millions of viewers already chose. It didn’t help that the show’s sly editing had shaped Siriano into a cartoonish persona complete with crowd-pleasing catch-phrases like “Fierce!” and “Hot tranny mess!” (Runway host Tim Gunn nicknamed him “Woody Woodpecker.”)

Siriano grew up in Annapolis, Maryland, the son of two teachers who divorced when he was five. He loved musical theater, and studied ballet alongside his older sister until he became more taken with the costumes than dance itself. By age 13, he was designing clothes, a passion that intensified in high school at Baltimore School of the Arts. After being rejected by FIT, he moved to London, earning a degree in fashion design at American InterContinental University while interning at Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. In New York after graduation, he made wedding red carpet dresses for private clients and briefly interned at Marc Jacobs. A friend told him about Runway. “I figured, I had no money; I just needed a job, so why not audition?,” he says. “People did warn me about the stigma attached to reality shows, but winning got me on Oprah, and Amy Poehler played me on Saturday Night Live. That was fun. But I also realized quickly that this wouldn’t last, so I decided early on to figure this thing out for myself.”

When Siriano, then 21, “walked in to audition, my first reaction was, ‘He’s just out of design school, not fully baked, so why are we seeing him?’ ” Gunn recalls. “He was in the room for half a minute when I turned to the judges and said, ‘I’ve been teaching for 30 years and have never met a fashion prodigy until today.’ If I had any worries, it was that Christian came equipped with such confidence he could have turned into an egomaniacal diva.” On that count, Gunn is “delighted but not surprised to be wrong.”

At Siriano’s no-nonsense, sketch-lined workrooms in New York City’s Chelsea, the designs-in-progress are neither directional nor needle-moving. But what they lack in editorial urgency is made up for in an effusive love of color, an obsessive workmanship, and a knack for the kind of camera-ready glamour that elevated Grace Kelly to a screen goddess—all in line with the designer’s ultimate goal of, as he puts it, becoming someone “all women can trust in when they want to be beautiful.” Recent red-carpet arrivals indicate that stars as varied as Jennifer Lopez, Kerry Washington, Lady Gaga, Coco Rocha, Ariana Grande, Tina Fey, Shailene Woodley, Sia, and Angela Bassett are believers. As are Neiman Marcus shoppers, who snap up his petal-appliquéd and floral-printed gowns for $3,000-plus.

A former beauty queen from Bulgaria is being accused of accidentally killing her husband after a rough sex session.

Anita Meyzer and Nikolai Dimoy were having a moment that seemed right out of “Fifty Shades Of Grey” and practicing BDSM, that includes acts like bondage and masochism. During one of their latest fantasies, things got out of hand with the latter losing his life when things got out of control.

Anita explained that she was a wife that needed to satisfy his man and would always record their sessions, according to Peru.com. She added that her husband had strange fetishes and one night he asked her to tie him up with plastic ties around his arms, neck and legs.

During the bondage session, her husband tried to break free and remove the ties, but ended up tightening them and strangling himself to death.

Where this story takes a turn is that Meyzer initially lied to police saying that she was out shopping and when she returned home she found her husband dead. To make matters worse, she tried to hide the cable ties and attempted to bribe a cop as well so the truth about his accidental death wouldn’t come to life.

Now Anita Meyzer has to face the consequences for her actions. She will spend three years in jail.

She said: “I’m sorry for what happened, for 4 months I have been locked up and wondering how can this happen to me – I’m the cause of death of the person I love most.”

With Inauguration Day less than three weeks away, Melania Trump has made a point of keeping a low profile — but the first-lady-to-be’s choice of a Dolce & Gabbana cocktail dresses for New Year’s Eve in Palm Beach at Mar-a-Lago has kicked off an online firestorm.

After Melania — a longtime client of the Italian brand — wore a black Dolce & Gabbana cocktail dress with bows on each shoulder, Stefano Gabbana thanked her via Instagram with “#madeinitaly” and called her a “DG Woman.” Gabbana’s post had generated more than 13,000 likes and 1,129 comments as of Tuesday afternoon. Among other things, the designer called her “a beautiful woman,” and chided her critics as “ignorant.”

In response to one Instagrammer’s comment — “No! Whether she’s beautiful or not, would you be proud to dress Eva Braun? So wrong,” — an apparent reference to Adolf Hitler’s companion and wife for 40 hours. Gabbana responded with “Who is Eva Brown? Sorry….” perhaps mistakenly translating “Braun” from German to mean “Brown.”

A spokeswomen for Dolce & Gabbana declined to comment Tuesday and a spokeswoman for Melania did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Thus far, such enthusiastic endorsements of Melania’s sartorial selections have been scarce among designers. That could all drastically change once the First Family is officially installed (regardless of when they are ensconced together at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue). With former New York Fashion Week and Costume Institute Gala frontwoman Stephanie Winston Wolkoff playing an instrumental role in orchestrating the inaugural festivities, the January 20 celebration is expected to be very different than in years past.

At the first presidential debate this fall, Trump showed her former model status, wearing a black ruched off-the-shoulder Dolce & Gabbana dress from the fall runway. As was the case with most of her election season wardrobe choices, Trump bought the dress herself at the company’s New York boutique. Known not to be a nationalist when it comes to fashion, the future first lady favors an assortment of both American and European labels. Some of her other designer choices were bought online, including the $3,669 virgin wool coat with embossed buttons that Olivier Rousteing designed for Balmain that she bought via Net-a-porter for Election Day.

In November, Sophie Theallet asked other American designers to follow her lead and not dress or associate with Melania Trump. While the proposed boycott may not have transpired into the call to action that Theallet imagined, some big-name designers such as Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs have said they will not cocktail dresses uk the First Lady. Others, like Tommy Hilfiger, Diane von Furstenberg, Thom Browne and Carolina Herrera, have been more receptive to the prospect.
