ROCHESTER — Like many people today, men’s hair stylist Adrienne Fisk is working from home these days.
In her case, that means launching her own in-home salon called A&C Men’s Grooming this week. The A and C in the name refer to Adrienne and her daughter, Cecilia.
Fisk, who has specialized in men’s grooming for the past 13 years of her 21 year career, is offering a full slate of male services including haircuts, straight razor shaves of faces and heads, beard trims and waxing. Her clients schedule appointments through her website .
Why launch your own place, after so many years working for others?
"I think that is kind of the goal for most people that do hair … I was just very ready to be on my own and … be self sustaining and self reliant,” she said. “As I’m learning, owning your own businesses is a lot of work, but it's definitely worth it.”

Running a one-person shops means all of the work is on her shoulders, but it also offers a flexibility that isn’t always possible working for others.
“Now I can work on my own time, which is nice. Especially after the last couple years, I think people are realizing how important time with family and friends is,” she added.
