Salon Progress

Custom Furniture Update

As you may know, instead of picking furniture off the floor or website of some beauty supply store, we've decided to partner with a friend (Ryan Schuppert) who builds amazing things out of steel. He started with custom motorcycles and since has branched out to include custom artwork, winches and our favorite...furniture!

Ryan's business, Cannonball Metal Works, is a small one out of Redding and everything is built by hand either by Ryan himself or one of his craftsman buddies. Mint Salon has tasked Ryan with building our 13 custom stations, a table for clients to sit and relax while their color processes, retail shelving and a show-stopper of a front desk. It's no small task considering even the drawer pulls he's designing are custom!

We have been getting steady updates from Ryan on his progress with our custom furniture and with each photo we get more excited to see the final product!

Construction Begins!

Hello! I've been getting a lot of questions about the progress of Mint Salon so I have decided to add a news page to our website. This will be a great way I can share our progress and adventures in construction and design with all of you as well as specials and promotions or events once we are open.

It's been a long road working with an Architect and team of Engineers to get our site plan finalized and approved by the city but we finally have our construction permit in hand! The best way to describe my current mood is Yee Haaawww!

Plans and permits ready to rock and roll!

Now we are ready to embark on the great adventure that is construction. We have an excellent team of contractors assembled to help us achieve our vision. We will be re-configuring the space into a large entry/retail/waiting area, open salon work area, large break-room/color dispensary and relaxing shampoo area.

I cannot tell you how excited we are to start work and see this space transition into the beautiful, relaxing space we have imagined. The transformation will be dramatic so stay tuned for our progress.
