Second Runner-Up Bella Rinova Salon, owned by Lynette Davis in Houston, Texas, was a favorite for it exterior walls of glass offering spectacular views, lush chandeliers and stations, its VIP styling room and an outdoor terrace for clients who want to enjoy lunch or some private time while their color processes.
And, Third Runner-Up Champagne Nail Lounge, owned by Tommy Le, in Los Angeles, earned a secondary honor as our first NAILS Salon of the Year.
