I have been able to attract and retain top talent brining the Boulder Salon to the forefront of all salons in the area. Since we only focus on Color I have built strong partnerships with female driven locally owned salons the provide hair cuts to our guests as well as other fun partnerships including dance and Barre studios, gyms, clothing stores, and other retail outlets. This has helped us achieve and maintain a strong influence in our area.
