Tiki Tan - The Long-Awaited Update

Ok. So everyone has been waiting for an update on Tiki Tan. Well, we think everyone has been waiting on one. And if you haven't, oh well, you're getting one.

So, its been a couple of weeks since we posted last about the new venture, and things are going good. We took a little time off of doing major construction projects and started just doing little things that needed done around the salon. And also setting up our prices, the new computer system (well, the old system reworked and set up right for a change), getting credit cards set-up, making sure things are running smoothly, getting all the beds running right and so on and so forth.

But, in the meantime, we've still been doing things, and we figured that we'd show everyone some of the stuff that we can show you. Pictures of the computer screen and our credit card machine aren't very interesting.

Now though, we are getting back into the swing of construction. We are going to finish the floor around the new counter (the plywood went down today), the Formica on the countertop (getting done on Sunday) and eventually the tiki hut roof (Tiki Todd's project in the coming weeks). We are wanting to get as much as we can finished up soon so we can start feeling like the place is done and we can start some of our marketing plans. Dale is designing our logo (still) and we'll start doing more with that once we get it.

On a business front, its going great. We've had several huge days and there are a lot of people coming in that stopped coming after the last owners pissed them off. Plus, we're getting into the busy season (prom time) and that is picking up business. So we are really happy and excited. We've had some of the biggest days in the last six months and they are getting bigger and bigger each day. So we think its working.

So enjoy some new pictures.

We cut up some of the left over bamboo pieces and used them as trim.

We also used some of the spare bamboo pieces and cut them up to make new numbers on the doors. Everyone seems to like them and it keeps with the theme.

We finally got our new, cheap sink and faucet installed. Huge improvement over the one that was there before. We're going to get the full bathroom done soon, but at least we've got a sink and counter now.

We've added chairs to all of the rooms now, so people can sit. Sitting is something so underrated.
