Wanda's on 7th is a black-owned
business in the same block as the Howard Theatre. It is
a beauty/barber shop, spa and salon owned by Wanda Henderson. Ms. Henderson had to vacate her salon
business at this location in 2010 so the block she was in could be
redeveloped. She returned recently. Having come through "the bad times,"
she now struggles through "the good times" brought about by
gentrification. Located on Georgia
Avenue NW, just south of Howard University, the new rent is a lot more than the
old rent.
Wanda's gets a lot of business from high
officials and stars at the Howard Theatre.
There is a VIP room at the back of the salon directly connected through
a long hallway to the back stage of the theater. Her busiest days are always Fridays.
