An African Mouton's Salon

Speaking of our former location - when we moved from the Bedford location, we had just leased some new shampoo bowls and chairs that we wound up not using in our Grapevine location. Because of the terms of our lease, we were not able to return the equipment in a trade and had to get all new stuff ...chairs, stations, shampoo bowls and chairs. That left us with some equipment that we weren't able to incorporate into our new design. Because we were still obligated to pay for the equipment that we couldn't use, we tried to find some kind home for the left over shampoo bowls and chairs. We wound up donating a section of the bowls and chairs to Tegulcigapa, Honduras to be used in a salon that was being started by a group of ladies there. The other section of bowls and chairs were donated to a beauty school in Nairobi, Kenya. We recently received a couple of pics from the school in Africa. This is our first time to see these pics. For those of you who have been long time customers, when looking at the photo on the top, you will recognize the shampoo bowl and chair from our Forest Ridge location.

Previous Location

We were going thru some old pics last night and came across these photos. This is our salon before we moved to Grapevine. It was in Bedford and we built this building and were here for four years before we outgrew it.

State of the Salon

Just a few more pics from our annual State of the Salon meeting on this past Sunday..

We also want to congratulate our out-going Employee of the Year, Leslie Sowell.

Where Friends Meet

We had our annual State of the Salon meeting this Sunday at Farina's on Main Street in Grapevine. They call themselves a place "Where Friends Meet". Our day was wonderful!
The service was impeccable, the food was delightful and the atmosphere was welcoming.
Thanks to Diane and Paco for all their hard work throughout the day. Our team had a wonderful time.

This was taken from www.grapevinetexasusa.com, a review of their place:

"Farina’s winery is located at 420 South Main Street in the Grapevine Historic District. Originally the home of Tate’s Hardware, Farina’s Winery will feature its own wines as well as a selection from around the world. The European bar itself is vintage, dating from the1800s. The front bar is from Belgium and the back bar is from England. The chandelier in the winery, crafted by the Blenko Glass Company especially for GrapeFest 2004, is uniquely American. Farina’s Winery will feature a luncheon and dinner menu with a daily special, and live entertainment on weekends. For more information visit www.farinaswinery.com or call (817) 329-7882."

State of the Salon

We are getting ready for our annual event that we call the State of the Salon. We've been doing this for the last several years and every year, we try to have the event at a different venue. This year we have lots to celebrate about 2008.

We will be having the meeting at a local restaurant/wine bar this Sunday. As you can see from this pic, Payton, Keshia and Ali are excited about something...not sure if it is because of the venue or the meeting.
