The studio
Simple, clean, quiet.
“Some salon suites can feel so cluttered, will just have stuff everywhere. I was really wanting it to be simple and clean.” White walls, arch mirrors and an olive tree.
“I’m not somebody that thrives in a big group setting. So the one-on-one with a client at a time, I just do really well at.”
What clients mention most is the pace: “I’m mindful of their time.”
