“On our salon floor, clients instantly notice our large Spanish Moss chandelier. The shampoo area has wall-to-wall reclaimed barn wood from a 200-year-old tobacco barn. Our salon name is hung on the wall in custom-cut, all-natural moss letters, and our shampoo backbar countertop was made from a 20 foot-long fallen log—we preserved the original bark and coated it with epoxy to prevent staining.”
