After 25 years, the two Angelos of Angelo Hair Design (5331 Tallman Ave NW) are closing up shop for good, according to Angelo Sacco.

Ballard News-Tribune columnist Peggy Sturdivant wrote about the pair in a Dec. 29, 2007 article called "The two Angelos." Peggy writes:

"It's like entering the below sidewalk bar in the old sitcom Cheers, a place where everyone knows your name. There is immediate familiarity, zinging retorts, a variety of quirky characters. It's a place where you want to belong. Angelo One (also known as the Good Angelo) works more slowly with clients, sitting across from them while they tint. Angelo Two (also known as the Crazy One) is a whirling dervish who can do a partial foil, rinse and blow-dry while another client gets just a haircut with Angelo One."

We'll stop by sometime this month and give an update on the why and the what next. Meanwhile, if you've always wanted to get your hair styled by two talented neighborhood characters, there's still time.
