Mayor Kennedy O'Brien spotlights Styles Urbano barbershop in Sayreville podcast
Summary
Mayor Kennedy O'Brien and Board of Education President Eloy Fernandez visited Styles Urbano to highlight owner Elizabeth Payano’s bilingual services, community giveaways and plans to support Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs in Sayreville.
Mayor Kennedy O'Brien visited Styles Urbano barbershop during a city podcast episode to feature a local small business and encourage Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs to consider starting or expanding businesses in Sayreville. "I'm Kennedy O'Brien," he said at the episode's start, introducing the mayor's small-business series and noting the episode would run in both English and Spanish.
Elizabeth Payano, who identified herself as the owner, described opening the shop roughly a year ago to create a family-like atmosphere where customers feel comfortable. She said the barbershop offers haircuts, shaves, coloring, and services for women as well as men, plus Dominican coffee and community giveaways. "My name is Elizabeth Payano," she said while introducing her staff.
Eloy Fernandez, introduced as president of the board of education, joined O'Brien on site and praised Payano's community service and volunteer work. The hosts emphasized bilingual staffing and accessible parking at the plaza (listed by Payano as 881 Main Street in Cedarville) as ways the business aims to serve a broader clientele.
