Thirty years and cutting
Washington County

It was 1979 and Cathy Lowe was 22-years-old and six months out of cosmetology school. She had two kids and needed a job.
“At the time I either had to have a job in cosmetology or I had to go back to the Martha Washington Inn to waitress,” Lowe said. “It was either sink or swim.”
So she took a chance. She borrowed $4,800 from a friend, bought used equipment, rented the closed down record shop on the east side of town and turned it into a salon.
Thirty years later, Male Ego’s appointment calendar is still steady.
