Judges’ comments:
“Very warm feeling—I love the furniture colors.”—Conti
“Everything is better in Texas! Jawdropping and mindblowing are words to describe Jose Luis Salon.”—Faries

“To enhance our productivity and profitability we designed the bright light shelving in the reception area to highlight the retail products. We also designed the make-up area to be a main focus and we allow the clients to test make-up as they would in a department store.”
