goodthingsphl.comThis Corner started as a concept in early 2019 to bring both Nozomi and Lee's passions together in one space. After cutting hair in Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia for nearly 20 years, Nozomi wanted to create a space that combines high-end hair experience with an accessible price. Lee worked in retail when they met at a Guacamole-making competition in 2009. Our goal for simple design and high quality informs what we sell in our shop. Lucky for us, we found a corner location after already landing on the name This Corner. The name comes from the concept of having a favorite corner in your home that a candle, magazine or object make just a little better.
