DESCRIPTION: Color is the focal point of hair design at Changes City Spa. The open color bar is where color is doctored to a Medical auto-clave station in the nail department where nail care implements are sterilized. The shampoo lounge has a spa feel with warm tones, hand-painted river rock design on concrete floors and skylights to bring the natural light into the space. LED lighting and Wi-fi capabilities throughout the salon and spa allow clients to get their favorite services done while still plugged in at work. The retail boutique provides clients with an array of professional beauty essentials, wellness products and gift items.
"Being creative was the key to being able to meet the growing needs of our salon and spa, while creating harmony between the existing space and new addition. We accomplished this by moving our warehouse off the premises and adding a second story above its space for our spa expansion."- Norma Dorey
