We have been in business now for over six months and finishing all of the little details takes time. As I look around the salon I see a ton of things that still need to be completed, even though we don’t look like we're under construction anymore! Here is my list:

-Chandeliers: get electrician to run power (they are hung but no lights yet!)
-Non-slip strips on the pedi platform steps
-Nicer pedi bowls -- can’t find anything that's makes me go "wow!"
-Pedi cart for a third pedi area
-New signage for the street
-Sign above the salon
-Update all of the marketing materials with the new logo
-Design a new logo (Check!)

I work alongside a great graphic artist on many projects for Kupa, Reggie Arlantico, and he designed this logo for me. He came to visit the salon so he could see the look, and we talked a lot about the image we wanted to project. I sent him several other logos I really liked so he could realize my vision. He designed and sent us six versions, and we chose our favorite. He worked on it a bit more and after a little tweaking and choosing a PMS color -- we have a logo!  Thanks, Reg!
