Transforming from a white box to a cozy hair salon

The building used to be a video store. Now it contains 30 suites like this.
Hey, they finally added the door!




This shampoo bowl is now in its FOURTH location. Yes the floor is concrete, so it's been jackhammered and patched several times.
First time, the plumber paid no attention to the plans. So it got moved. Someone didn't like the new spot, so it was moved again.
PWAISDN said "Uh-uh! You people don't know a thing about the hair biz. Shoulda hired me as a consultant!" and it was moved here.

Two of the three investors behind the project now realize they should have hired him as a consultant as he's been doing this for 40 years.
Oops.




This dude is called "Beard Guy" and was PWAISDN's logo when he was a barber in San Francisco.
With the double image from the mirror, I think he looks better on T-shirts even if the design is a huge pain to cut and weed.
I made it on a Cricut cutter and applied it to the mirror. Some people think it's a portrait of PWAISDN.
Nope, he's just commercial art that we bought and licensed a couple years ago.




Oops, what's my drill doing there? Front of the shop, and all of his retail products.





The "wet" side with most of his color and the "backbar" next to the sink - the shampoos and conditioners he uses on clients.





We were there until after 10 PM on a Sunday putting barnwood on the walls.
Fun thing about commercial spaces - you can run saws and compressors late at night and nobody complains.




One of several vinyl sign graphics that I installed. You really only get one chance with the stuff.
He wanted it to say hair and makeup without saying hair and makeup.
As for the name, he can do anything from beehives and perms on up to whatever's trendy today.
