Stylist takes aim at frazzling with products.

Orlando hair stylist Dale Dees thinks he has the answer to Central Florida’s frazzling effect on hair.

Dees spent the last two years developing a new line of hair care products called GoGlam, and is launching the hair care items at a few local salons and supply shops.

“Everyone I know is always fighting with the humidity,” said Dees, who recently closed his shop in the Mills 50 neighborhood to focus on GoGlam. “I just wanted to figure out how to help my clients with one of their biggest complaints.”

Dees, who has over 20 years experience as a stylist, said he worked with a manufacturer in California for two years to perfect a formula. It’s now available at Salon Muse in Winter Park and NO. 1 Beauty Supply in Orlando.

“My clients are very diverse and multicultural, so I wanted to make something that would work on light hair or the curliest,” he said.

GoGlam products range in price from $16.50 for “thermal mist” to $36 for “oil serum” with other products including texture cream, leave-in conditioner, silkening potion and “gloss mist.” He said the prices are in line with other salon products.

The challenge now, Dees said, is to find a distributor and get the hair care products into more stores and salons.

Brewery in works

A new craft brewery and taproom is being planned in

an industrial park west of College Park.

Brothers Michael and Benjamin Dees of Dees Brothers Brewery are asking the city of Orlando for permission open a taproom at 1942 W. New Hampshire Street, in an industrial park with neighbors such as Catrike and building supplier Winsupply.

The plans are still preliminary and Michael Dees said he doesn’t have a lease yet, but he thinks the greater College Park area is underserved.

Organic grocer leaves downtown

Organic produce seller The Farmacy has closed its shop within a market store in Orlando’s North Quarter district.

Owner Cathy Lee said traffic in the store was too slow to sustain a business.

North Quarter Market is the collection of food sellers at 855 N. Orange Avenue in the growing apartment district near downtown Orlando. Coffee shop Downtown Credo and frozen treat maker Pop Parlour also call the market home.

Downtown Credo will remain at North Quarter Market. Pop Parlour is also no longer there.

Celebrity-chef spot closes

Emeril Lagasse’s Asian-Polynesian-themed restaurant Tchoup Chop is getting the chop, closing at the end of the year.

The hotel and restaurant company announced the restaurant inside the Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando would close Dec. 31.

The closure will result in the layoff of about 66 employees, according to a notice filed with the state.

Tchoup Chop serves an Asian-Polynesian fusion of dishes.
