Dimitri Cornet and his partner have opened up a new hair salon, Werk, at 2867 Mission St. between 24th and 25th streets.
They’re already getting good notices on Yelp. Let us know what you think here.
Cornet started with Beauty Supply at 956 Market St. and that is still open as well.
Welcome to the neighborhood!
Founder/Executive Editor. I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019 when I retired. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still there.
As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.
Right now I'm trying to figure out how you make that long-held interest in local news sustainable. The answer continues to elude me.
