Great Clips Coming to Whitefish Bay

The hair salon chain will fill the old Nevaeh Medispa building, which has been vacant since late 2010.

A building that has been vacant for more than a year on the west end of Silver Spring Drive will soon see new life with the opening of a Great Clips hair salon.

The Whitefish Bay Plan Commission approved a conditional use permit for the salon franchise to open at 103 E. Silver Spring Dr., which has been vacant since Nevaeh Medispa moved to Shorewood in late 2010.

The company has reached a five-year lease agreement with the building's landowner and plans to open the salon in May.
