Salon of Distinction: Headlines the Salon
“The main feature of the salon is the Lather Lounge which was designed to be it’s own space within a space. It has its own ambient lighting, scented candles, spa-like-music that plays independently from the styling space, and its own temperature control. Truly an experience every visit.”

Salon of Distinction: Glo Hair Lounge
“Ambient LED lighting is incorporated in custom designed glass countertops at each station and throughout the entire salon to give a soft, elegant and relaxing glow. The floor looks like a layer of frozen ice over rippling water, perfectly complementing the sleek personality of the salon.”
