A Highland Park resident who owned a haircutting salon on York Boulevard near the border of Eagle Rock has moved a few stores west to a corner location that's a lot more visible and has been attracting more customers than ever before.

Panfilo Cruz, who owns New York Cuts, relocated the salon to 4581 York Blvd. earlier this month after 15 years. A flower shop used to be located on the spot, and when that closed this past summer, Cruz decided to move his salon into the empty space.

Freshly painted in red, white and blue, the salon sits on the northwest corner of Avenue 46, where it has been relatively getting more attention, according to Steven Cruz, Panfilo's son, who's a hairdresser there.
