Before and After Salon Transformation

Last week I attended the relaunch of 1245 Salon and Spa located in Atlanta, GA, near Atlantic Station. The salon had just undergone a three month makeover done by yours truly, with the help of a few great people.

Terrell Dinkins, Designer & 1245 Salon and Spa Owner Tammy White

Makeover highlights included:

Adding a curved wall to create a separate lobby area
Applying blue and green paint colors to provide more of a spa feel
Installing two partition walls to expand the dryer room and create privacy in the shampoo area
Lightening up the floors from an earlier drab brown to a new light grey
Replacing commercial lights in the ceiling with other types of lighting, including pistachio green pendant lights and recessed lighting
Creating a photo gallery — what the designer calls a “wall of style” — of client head shots to showcase the work of the salon’s master stylists
Completing the salon’s look with new furnishings, decorative accessories and wall art

The makeover is a far cry from the salon’s original industrial-type feel. The space was cold, looked like a warehouse and did not match the name,"Salon and Spa".

Take a look at the before and after shots of the salon:

We Expanded and Created a Private Dryer Room with Wall to The Right
I Love How The Gray Floors Soften The Main Colors of Blue and Green

I would be remiss if I did not thank all of the brands who contributed to this project:

Until Next Time,

Companies That Give Back

Today, I want to give an unsolicited plug to Lowe's Home Improvement Stores. There logo says, "Never Stop Improving". I would like to say that they "Never Stop Giving". I have begun a makeover project (I will give you details and an update in a later posting) and without hesitation, Lowe's jumped right in to assist with the project. I spoke to some of the employees and many of them shared their personal stories of how the company had given supplies back to schools where their children attended.

Yes, I know many companies do give back. Unfortunately, they go unrecognized because they are large corporations. Well today, I want to say thanks (oh, and an fyi, Lowe's was my second employer in high school. I worked in there back payroll office).

I have begun a few summer home improvement projects on top of the many items I am trying to balance on my plate. My first stop for all of my supplies will be my neighborhood Lowe's Store.

Until Next Time
