DECATUR– For 3 Girls & a Needle owner Tammy Nowell improving on a good thing and staying ahead of the beauty industry has been a way of life since opening in 2004.

The small business owner says God led her path.  “I had no idea I would be doing this. I was a manager at a Office Depot before I decided to step out on faith and really make this my career,” Nowell said. “A lot of people thought it was silly for me to try to make hair my career but after I prayed about it, God made it very plain to me that I was anointed to do this.”

The sew-in specialist says she stays afloat in the competitive field of beautifying by continuing to offer new services.

“I found a niche in Atlanta. Before I started doing sew-ins, everyone in Atlanta was using glue for weaves, which caused hair loss for a lot of people. We never use glue for weave procedures,” Nowell said.

Customers say the personal service and private rooms at 3 Girls & a Needle compare to no other salon.

“You can’t get this kind of service anywhere else,” said customer Diondra Douse. “Tammy gives each client their own intimate experience. That means a lot.”

Some of 3 Girls & a Needle’s new services include full make-up procedures such as lashes, eyebrow arching, waxing and sculpturing. The services are in addition to the enclosures, alopecia net weaves and full head sew-ins the salon already provides.

The 3 Girls & a Needle salon is located at 4826 Flat Shoals Parkway, Decatur. For more information, visit www.3girlsandaneedle.com or call 770- 507-1920.
