Glamor Beauty Supply in Oakland , one of the East Bay's oldest shops of its kind, is closing just as soon as all the shampoo, color and hair products are gone.That's because Linda Song, owner of the Temescal neighborhood store – a fixture on Telegraph Avenue for nearly 40 years – is finally retiring at age 82. Song, who didn't want to be interviewed, noted the change in the retail landscape since the pandemic as a reason for her decision, her family noted.
" Marabilla said she's personally not ready for the store to shut its doors, but she knows that her employer is. She and Song have grown quite close. "I loved coming to this job," she said. "It felt like I was home." Rhicko Barton, a longtime former employee, had grown quite close to the Songs while she worked at Glamor Beauty, too. She learned Korean and even went to Korea with the family in the 1990s on a family trip.
