Salon of Distinction: Sine Qua Non Salon, West Town

Salon of Distinction: Salon Entourage

“One of our favorite features of our salon is the ultramodern black and white color scheme with chrome trimmings, which allows us to add a touch of color seasonally. The epoxy white floors give it a seamless modern touch.”

Salon of Distinction: Salon 241

“Since we are located in a noted art community, we hired a local painter and muralist to design the new ginkgo leaf that adorns our walls and the faux wood finish on our reception desk. We’ve taken it a step further by incorporating the design in our print advertising.”

Salon of Distinction: New Reflections SpaSalon

“While our younger guests think our Freestyle dryers and retail fixtures are really hip, we also want our guests to be aware that we work hard to be a ‘green’ salon. We are respectful of the Earth and make our choices based on lighting, heating and water efficiency.”

Salon of Distinction: Morrison Hair

“We were inspired by Apple stores and the new philosophy of the ‘frictionless experience.’ We don’t have a front desk, we book appointments and ring up service on handheld devices right at the station or in the comfort of our reception room.”

Salon of Distinction: LesliJon Salon

“With the additional square footage to our front room and retail area, we added a new make-up counter that allows us to perform applications on four guests at one time. Since it’s right in the middle of reception, it invites guests to sample and play with make-up.”

Salon of Distinction: Kink Salon

“Our modern, comfortable waiting area encourages guests to interact with retail or lounge with the iPad we provide. We think the desk and wallpaper are quite sexy and make a statement of true distinction.”

Salon of Distinction: Jyl Craven Hair Design

“In a formerly unused area of the salon, we created the Kerastate Ritual Center/Treatment Room where guests can experience deep conditioning treatments, with a head and scalp massage while sitting in a chair that delivers a complete pressure therapy massage.”

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: HAUS Salon

“We wanted an interior that would promote a highenergy, interactive, creative community. By centering stations at two tables, we literally all ‘come to the table’ together during a service. Rather than sit in a row, guests are in small communities, interacting with our artists and each other.”
