Our Proudest Moment Yet... The Tiki Hut

Are you getting tired of Tiki Tan updates yet? Well, if you are, then it proves how much work we've actually done to the salon. On day, we'll put up some before and after photos so everyone can actually see what the place looked like before and what it looks like now.

So today (Monday), we put the final "major" touch on the salon... the Tiki Hut. It was something that we were wanting to do for some time and finally just decided to get it done. After the counter got finished, the new floor and everything else, it was the final piece of the puzzle.

So we enlisted the help of Tiki Todd, and decided to get the Tiki Hut done. It started on Friday, when we laid out the plans, bought the wood and built the supporting box. On Monday, we started bright and early at 7:30 am, worked hard and got it done by 2pm.

And we couldn't be any more happy with the results. Look at all the pictures below and see what you think. And we can't wait till everyone sees the salon in person. Pictures just don't do it justice. And remember, clicking on the photos make them bigger.

Getting the counter prepped for the new hut. Notice the supporting poles are bamboo poles too!

Ta-da... the finished product. Notice the bamboo poles in the back against the wall supporting it as well.

Notice the new pictures we added too on the side wall... all our salon certificates

We've also decorated more of the front of the salon with cool pictures

More pictures...

Our new clock (it looks like a footprint in the sand) and another cool picture.
