The Salon Next to the Car Wash
Salon Dusserre opened in 2005. I was looking to buy the car wash and gas station next door to their first location — and being a business guy, I saw the new salon coming soon. I went in and met the mother and daughter. They were working out of a back area while their new salon was being built.
Then they had an issue with their contractor. That's where I came in. We combined our designs, and I became their partner.
The partners were a great family — the salt of the earth. We built out twenty stations, a spa, retail, nails, and laser. Today the salon is still a success. Just as clean as the day we built it.
I learned a lot about the salon business through Salon Dusserre. More than that, I learned how the right partners — and the right craftsmanship behind the scenes — turn a build-out into a legacy.
