Leslie McGwire™ & Associates serve as a consultant to salonbooker.com, a leading provider of web-based salon management software that improves every aspect of a salon’s client experience.

Douglas J Salons are located in East Lansing, Okemos, Ann Arbor and just recently, a new salon opened in Rochester Hills. Each salon offers cuts, styling, color, facial waxing, make-up services and more.

Salon 416, a top-of-the-line salon featuring quality, high-end equipment and design will be a welcome addition to Downtown Fenton’s Cornerstone mix.

Tricho Salon & Spa plans to consolidate its two locations in Briarwood Mall in the coming months, filling a long-vacant space near MC Sports, said Briarwood Mall’s Denise Murray.

Leslie McGwire™ & Associates designs salons, spas, cosmetology schools, chain accounts, resorts, medispas and hotels. Whether it’s a remodel or a new location, Leslie McGwire™ & Associates focuses on the design from ‘concept to completion.’

The owner says, “We want to make each customer’s experience visit a red-carpet experience, pampering them from the front desk all the way.”

McGwire notes a big push toward cozy textures such as exotic leathers, suede and velvet in upholstered furniture. For a quick and easy residential touch to an existing space, hang a chandelier over the reception desk or toss a throw rug under a table in the waiting area.
