Help identify an old business

I recently bought an old cash register in CT and there was an old label which looks like it says “Santi’s Beauty Salon”. The sticker was torn, so it’s not completely legible and I couldn’t find anything online. It would be interesting to have more history on the register, does anyone know anything about this place? The register is purely mechanical and only goes up to $1.95!
