Shear Art Salon & Spa named semi-finalist for
Small Business of the Year Award.

The Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce's Small Business of the Year of the Awards (SBOY) has selected Shear Art Salon and Spa as a semi-finalist in the 51-to-250 Employees category.

Each year, The Chamber pays tribute to Tampa Bay area businesses with fewer than 250 employees. Companies are judged on their history and philosophy, management, operations, innovation and response to adversity, and their leadership and contributions to the community.

The 2010 awards will be announced at the SBOY banquet on Friday, Sept. 24 at the Tampa Convention Center.
