Salon Elizabeth remodel!!

Times have been hard around the Detroit area as I am sure all of you who live here know and all of you that don't, have heard. This area has been feeling the effects of this recession at least a year ahead of the rest of the country. All small businesses in the area have been getting hit really,really hard. Many have closed down. Some of the Spa chains like the Green Door Spa have closed down and many other spas I know are struggling to keep the doors open.

In times like these while over head keeps going up we  in the industry have not been able to raise prices to off set these increases. In fact we have to run specials all the time to keep up with competition.So with all of this going on it is really hard to plan any type of make over or decor upgrade.
This is a picture of part of our lobby,

Not bad,but it's looked like that for several years now.
I would love the spa to take on some of the following looks,

But alas we do not have a spare 1/4 million to implement these types of renovations....so sad.
So what we ARE doing is starting with a nice fresh coat of paint . Doing a two tone look up front.A Teal accent wall with a Macadamia color on the rest of the walls.
Getting new stream lined black product displays. Changing up the wall art and putting in a fire place!OK ,well, not a REAL one,but a very nice fake one.
Our very talented  owner Mary has re-upholstered  the cushions on the couches. The redo will be well affordable and will give a fresh new look to our spa. The idea is to make the lobby as inviting as your living room. We are also giving the front counter a small upgrade as well.

So with new treatments ,Bamboo Fusion and the Iontosonic Facial treatment and some new fresh decor to welcome our guests with we are in for a very exciting spring!
Next new service will be a new nail treatment.
I will be writing about that soon!
