The Greta Garbo look, peek-a-boo bangs, poodle cuts, beehives, and Farah Fawcett hair have come and gone but one thing that still remains in style after 75 years is Sadie’s.Sadie’s Salon reigns not just as the longest continuing business in Manteca but also as the city’s largest hair styling salon. Not only does Sadie’s have a loyal following as well as a new generation of customers but many of their stylists have been a part of the salon for 25, 35, and even 42 years.The fact Sadie’s is still going strong on its diamond anniversary is a tribute to the late Sadie Cabral and her sense of style, devotion to clients, and outgoing personality. It also is a credit to son Tim Cabral’s business acumen and commitment to continuing on the tradition his mother started in a one-station salon in 1937 in a house near the MRPS Hall.“It takes a lot of creativity to be a successful stylist,” Cabral said in praise of Sadie’s stylists.Tim as a youngster would work after school at the current location in the Cabral Center building just east of Manteca High on Yosemite Avenue that his father Tony along with his mother built in 1958.
