We can't do something we're not good at." The hairstylists have a com- bined experience of 34 years ini the business, Colasuonno having worked in Whitby for 20 years.

"We see the business growing in the future, because demand is building for men's hairstyling," Colasuonno says. "We'd like Whitby to know that we're here not only for old clients but new," adds Lombardi. Gentleman's Choice is open Tuesday te Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to5 p.m. Copy centre opens Whitby'9s newest donut store at Thickson /Dundas location By DEBMIE LUCIIUKi Generous sized donuts and muffins are featured at Honey Dip D onuts, a new establishment at Thickson and Dundas St. E.
