Caterina's Unisex Salon

Danny PEARSON (Essendon – Minister for Government Services, Assistant Treasurer, Minister for WorkSafe and the TAC, Minister for Consumer Affairs) (10:02): December the 1st, 1972, was a very big day for Union Road, Ascot Vale, when Caterina opened Caterina’s Unisex Salon and haircuts were, wait for it, $2.50. I was delighted to be able to attend the 50th anniversary celebrations with Nick, Caterina’s son, and his wife Gina and children Olivia and Daniella. It was great to meet with Caterina herself, still going strong 50 years on. Thank you for everything that you have done for our community. Union Road would not be the same without the magnificent contribution that you and your family have made.
