But it's not just a business. It's a calling to be creative and to create a customer base of not just clients but friends, according to owner Mitch Kersey. "Being able to make someone feel beautiful helps them grow and feel confident," Mitch said. "I have the most wonderful, diverse and loyal clients in the world. To be able to boost someone's self-concept, especially when you care about them, is the best! That's what we want everyone who works here to do: be a part of the bigger picture of loving clients, helping them and making them feel good about themselves, and, ultimately, about us and what we try to do."
