Fringe Salon and Boutique, located at 207 S. Grand Avenue A in Olney, has certainly lived up to its name according to many of its patrons who have stated that Fringe Salon has proven to be unconventional when it comes to the overall atmosphere of a typical salon. When you walk into the shop, you’re greeted with a warm welcome by all stylists on duty—not just your stylist. It is a family-friendly environment “fringed” with an undeniable level of professionalism.
