From inmate to entrepreneur a Cedar Rapids woman builds life through Habitat and salon
Cooper, with a criminal past, found a Habitat for Humanity home in northeast Cedar Rapids after 400 sweat hours and steady work. She opened Brunettes Salon in March with Alyssa Davis, funding it with a small business loan and community support. The salon offers cut and color services plus tanning and waxing, with hopes of adding massage.
