"The locally owned and woman-led salon opens its doors this month under the leadership of Connecticut native and entrepreneur Tiffany Gauba, who is redefining what it means to be both stylish and self-made in the Farmington Valley," wrote the The Shops at Farmington Vally, which is located at 110 Albany Turnpike, Canton, (Route 44).
