Judges comments:
“Fun, whimsical, creative space with great use of lines.” — Wagner
“By separating the ‘treatment sanctuary,’ the owners achieve a space where they can introduce more luxurious and exclusive service, allowing clients to fully appreciate top-of-line products.” — Soukhopalov

“We are very proud of our Wi-Fi Internet Bar, where laptops are equipped with digital webcams used in conjunction with cyber-imaging software for high-level consultations. The camera uploads a digital photo of the client and the software allows the client to ‘try before you buy’ different styles and hair colors.”
