When Joanna Oates moved to Wetumpka, she was on a mission to find a way to give back to the community that provided so much for her husband, Mike, during his childhood.
After opening Haircuts by JoJo in November 2017, Oates recognized an additional calling and recently partnered with Natacha Graham, owner of B&B’s Health Boutique. She re-located to the backside of Graham’s store and provides complimentary wig cutting services to women who come to B&B to be fitted for wigs.
