Recognized at the PGCOC Excellence in Business Awards Gala

Earlier this year, Salon 809 was recognized at the prestigious PGCOC Excellence in Business Awards Gala. The Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce has been supporting and advocating for local businesses for 100 years, making this recognition even more meaningful.

At the gala, Salon 809 was awarded the PGCOC Emerging Business Award, a distinction that celebrates innovation, growth, leadership, and impact within the community.

What makes this achievement especially significant is that Salon 809 was the first business in the beauty industry to receive this award. On top of that, we are incredibly proud to be the first Dominican salon to earn this recognition.

For us, this award represents more than business success. It represents culture, resilience, entrepreneurship, and the power of community.
