Maleeta's Beauty Shop
Maleeta Schilhabel operated her beauty shop at 14 S. Madison Street for about 45 years before retiring in January of 1977.
She took her training at the Milwaukee School of Beauty Culture in 1930 and she worked in Milwaukee, Oshkosh and New London before returning to Waupun. In 1932, she opened her shop which she operated until she retired. During the years, she saw many changes in price as well as style. Methods changed as frequently as the styles from machines and hot waves to the cold waves and from pin curls to the curlers and brush rollers.
Maleeta has been a member of the National and Wisconsin Hair and Cosmetalogy Association for over 40 years and at one time held office in the association.Acquisition
