There should be several, large signs indicating these businesses, even if their main target is hotel guests.
For what it's worth, Youngblood Haircutters has been there since about 1990. Terry Kelley, the owner, has been cutting my hair (what there is of it) since the 80's. She previously worked at a salon in the San Carlos Hotel. Her clientele includes a lot of local political people.
