Congratulations to Sheik's Hair Salon for being voted the Best Hair Salon in Johnston! I say they also win for "Best Customer Service" . You are always guaranteed to walk out of the Salon looking like a "Princess". Kudos to Steve, Maddie, Stacy, Mary Ann and Paula..THE BEST IN TOWN!

Where's the award for best seafood in Johnston? I'll start the voting by saying Amoriggi's on Greenville Ave. They were gone for awhile but now there back and I'm sure the whole community feels the same way I do about having them back. Welcome back Amoriggi's my family and I love your fresh seafood.
