| When June and Oscar Bauer opened their first salon in the Gateway shopping center in 1957, they had no idea that three generations of their children and grandchildren would join them in the family business. |
| |
| Oscar and June met in 1948 at the Portland Beauty Academy in Portland. They owned and operated three salons in the Gateway shopping center, each larger than the prior, with the last having 5,400 square feet and 21 styling chairs. In 1994 June sold Mr. Oscars in the current location to their youngest son Warren and his wife Marie. |

| 69 years later June and Oscar's son, Warren, as well as Warren's wife Marie and their children (Jenna and Michael), are all working together at Mr. Oscars. |
