At 9:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning, you wouldn't normally think people would be hustling and bustling around a salon…but at Kim Vo's Salon in Las Vegas, they have approximately 20,000 people walk past the salon every day! Why? Because this classy salon is located at the Mirage Hotel where people are constantly walking along the hotel's ‘Shopping Promenade' or to the pool area.
Vo toured Modern's Beauty and Fashion Director, Maggie Mulhern, around all of the ‘hot' spots in his salon. (Click here to see the episode.) The first being the "Wig Bar." According to Vo, when he has a client come in and say they want a dramatic change, like going from a brunette to a blonde, he will sit them at the bar and they can try on different wigs to see how it looks themselves before they make the big change. The bar includes wigs of all colors, lengths and textures.
Right next to the "Wig Bar" there are more wigs nestled in their "Make-up Cove," which features different types of cosmetics clients can pick and choose from before or after their appointments.
One of the obvious features in the salon are the stations. Each station is wrapped around with a curtain for privacy. According to Vo, "Only in Vegas can you have 10 to 12 feet between each chair, in my Beverly Hills salon I feel like we are all packed in like sardines!" When you check out the video, you will also be able to see the luxurious leather chairs and marble counter tops complimenting each of the salon's 10 stations.
Vo also shows off his salon's "Dream Wall," an extended glass wall comprised of black and white mosaic pieces. A leather couch surrounds this signature piece of the salon, where clients can rest while setting their hair under hot dryers.
Vo doesn't forget about the men either! He has an exclusive "Hot Shaves" section where men can put up their feet and relax while getting a shave. Shaves at Vo's salon cost $70, which includes a hot compress. Vo says it's a great place for men to go while their wives do a spa-day.
