Judges comments:
“Very welcoming!” — Cicela
“The sheer space and height of this salon is such an advantage for both clients and staff.” — Soukhopalov
“Relaxed vibe and unique but tasteful décor lends itself to a hip, personalized interior.” — Pelafas
“We have two client comfort waiting areas. One is more traditional and brightly lit; the other is super cozy with a ventless gas fireplace, flat-screen TV (featuring a looped video about our salon), leather sofa, candles and dim lighting. Clients immediately feel welcomed and relaxed. Many clients apologize for remaining in the areas because they don’t get to relax like this anywhere else. ‘That, I tell them, is not a problem at all.’”
