Like many of you, I will sometimes spend time scrolling through Instagram and occasionally a salon design will stop me in my tracks\\u2026\\xa0

\\xa0

This is the case with Salon Ruggeri based in NYC. Every time I see an image they have posted, it\\u2019s always of a beautifully put together and very stylish salon space that breaks the cookie-cutter salon design mould and gives you a peek into the world and the style of the salon owners.\\xa0

It always makes me want to just go and hang out there because I know it will be a great experience and a luxury treat for the senses, as well as great hair!

So my guest on today\'s Podcast is Greg Ruggeri and his husband Craig Longhurst from Salon Ruggeri in New York.

In this episode we discuss:

• The client experience

And so much more!
