Owners’ Comments:
“Our space it vaulted with floor-to-ceiling windows running the length of the salon. All of our cabinetry, floors and mirrors were custom—from the paint to rubbed corners, to quartz counter tops and the epoxy finished floor, nothing can be easily duplicated elsewhere.”
Judges’ Comments:
“The one-of-a-kind ceiling is something salon guests will never forget.”—Laurel Nelson
“A huge presence from the exterior brings plenty of natural light into the space.”—Jeff Grissler
