"I want thank you for the wonderful design you gave us. Never a day goes by that someone doesn't commenton the design and beauty of the place. Everything we set out to achieve with the look and the feel, weaccomplished. Though 2020 has been an incredibly challenging year, our salon enjoyed an award-winning streak taking "Best of Chicago", "Chicago Reader's Choice" award and "Best Neighborhood" salon. All of this in addition to Salon Today's "Salon of the Year".

"Salon of the Year. We still cannot believe it. Many years ago, when I first met Andreas and began helping him with his salon (which was very small at the time), I used to thumb though industry magazines and marvel at the incredible spaces that others had designed and built. Together, Andreas and I dreamed of what it would be like to actually own and run such a beautiful space, and though we aimed to create one, never did we

Actually think that we would land on one of the magazine's pages-much less on the cover as THE "Salon of the Year". Truly, this is a dream come true and a moment that could not have been realized without you."

"I used to look at other salon owners and compare myself to them. After opening my new salon, I realized that I don't do that anymore. Now I'm the salon owner I also dreamed of being."

"It is impossible to overstate the impact of our move from our old salon by Carnegie Hall to our new location designed by Susan Kwon & Peter Millard.

Our business went through the roof, we have gotten multiple press coverage in major magazines and our team is in love with their workplace. The renovation paid for itself in the first two years just in the growth of sales and services alone. Two words... Hire Them!"

"DUH! Of course I'm obsessed with you both. We grew over $250,000 in 2018, we raised our prices 16%, implemented health care and have more applicants than in the last 5 years. The design not only made our spaces 33% more productive it is a beacon to our city that we are the best in class. That means guests and service providers are showing up that didn't before, not to mention the extreme pride my current team feels showing up to work each day. Tess, Peter and Susan have elevated my company to a whole new level."

"Working with Tess and Peter made an incredibly stressful task exciting. I have built out two salons with them the first being 1100 sq ft and the second 2100 sq ft. In a matter of three years that's how fast we grew the first space. There is not a day I walk into my salon and a smile just comes across my face when I walk into the bright vibrant space. The salon design is the first impression any guest gets when they walk in and whether you are new or seasoned talent it sets the tone.

The way Peter and Tess designed the layout increased functionality in a way I would have never done on my own which increased revenue. Every chair you can comfortably fit in the salon is a stream of revenue. Almost seven years later in my second space and when guests walk in for the first time the first words out of their mouth are "how stunning the space is". The space also attracts top talent because there is no other salon like mine in a 30 mile radius."
