Here is a smart businesswoman. Lory Williams has combined her talents as a cosmetologist and photographer - and her business is booming as a result. From the article:
Williams is the sole proprietress of Lory Marie Salon & Studio, a combination beauty salon and photography studio located just north of Kingman High School at 4395 N. Bank St., Suite D.
