I am enrolled in eight investment and ﬁnancial seminars and have become an advocate for ﬁnancial literacy and changing the person I have to be through saving, investing and giving.” “We have a tremendously talented spa staff and make every effort to completely separate the spa experience from the hustle and bustle of the salon side of our building” “Our most successful promotion last year was the ‘Four Weeks of Yuletide,’ offering pre-packaged stocking stuffers of our professional products. Each package was less than $20 and each week featured a different special: hair, cosmetics, tools and nails. Many clients returned multiple times during the month of December!” “Choosing to add seven people to our staff was the best decision I made this year. A competing salon, which was very successful, suddenly closed—as a result, many talented stylists were left without a station to call their own. Our salon ﬂourished as most of their clientele came to us! Together, we now work as one team!” West End Hair Company and Day Spa El Paso, TX www.westendhaircompany.com Gloria Viramontes and Monica Lorey ’06: $748,000 ’07: $1,024,000 increase: 37% square feet: 3,000 total employees: 17 full-time income-producing: 13 full-time support: 2 average cut & style: $50 best-selling retail line: Aveda most frequently used color: Aveda salon software: SalonBiz marketing budget: $38,100 education budget: $17,000 associations: NCA, PBA, Strategies Zanya Spa Salon Lambertville, NJ www.zanyaspasalon.com Zanya Gissler ’06: $1,540,000 ’07: $1,824,000 increase: 18% square feet: 6,700 total employees: 47 full-time income-producing: 23 full-time support: 11 average cut & style: $61 best-selling retail lines: Aveda, L’Oréal Professionnel most frequently used color: L’Oréal Professionnel, Redken salon software: Harms/Millennium marketing budget: $35,000 education budget: $5,512 association: PBA >Staff of Vanity Salon in Houston, Texas.
