New salon opens doors

ELDORA – A new salon is open for business in Eldora’s Mini Mall, but the stylist is not new to the industry – or to Eldora. Alison Estes opened Alison’s Haircraft on April 15, coming home to the community where she was raised.

A 2011 South Hardin High School graduate, Estes attended La’ James in Cedar Falls and then worked at Salon Sovereign in Iowa Falls for 5 years. After that, she moved to Cedar Rapids with her significant other Alek Bracy, where she managed a SportClips and “perfected men’s cuts. So I really have that down.”
