The Salon Marcé Rochester City Guide

If there’s one thing that we all share here at Salon Marcé, it’s a profound pride and love for our hometown of Rochester, NY.

One of the best things about Rochester is the sense of community among small businesses and entrepreneurs in the area. So we thought we would take the opportunity to highlight some of our favorite businesses in the area!
