an emphasis on family. A majority of Corina’s family works in some capacity at the salon, and her daughter, Gabby Brown, works full time as a hairstylist. The family aspect also carries over to Corina’s clientele, whom she considers some of her closest friends. She has also worked on the hair of many clients who were about to go through or just nished chemo- therapy. One of her clients painted a watercolor painting of Corina cutting a client’s hair and gave it to her. “I just love the people that we get to meet,” Corina said. The business also has a small section in the salon where it sells locally made items from sellers in the Bay Area, including jewelry,
clothing and hats. Many of the items are Southern inspired, such as the shing gear for sale. “[The salon is] de nitely Southern, de nitely Texas. De nitely. Even though League City is huge, it’s still our little hometown,” Corina said. In the future, Corina hopes she might be able to open another salon, but for now, she has plans of reaching a more widespread audience. Film- makers approached Corina about lming a reality show about the salon to highlight the uniqueness of the salon industry, Corina said. “This place has a special attrac- tion here, which is actually di erent than probably any shop I’ve worked in, for the most part. It’s just a really cool industry,” Corina said.

Once she graduated from Clear Creek High School with her cosme- tology license in 1988, Corina worked at multiple other salons before taking over ownership of Southern Roots Boutique & Salon in January 2016. “I have clients that I’ve been doing for 20-plus years that come in here,” Corina said. The salon o ers appointments for various services including lash extensions, massages, hair coloring and haircuts. The atmosphere of the salon aims to be comfortable and cozy with
