Owners’ comment:
“In order to keep the fluid, soft, curved theme, every corner of the room is curved. We attempted to remove as many hard edges from the entire salon to soften the look and used white to make the space feel as open and large as possible.”
Judges’ comments:
“The curved lines add character and depth to this white space.”—Nelson
“The architecture is beautiful—the ceiling inside and the woodwork on the entry are great.” —Connolly
