Partner Spotlight: Stotts Atelier
The reward is much greater than the risk.
Co-owners, Carrie and Sean Stotts recently sat down with Boulevard at their gorgeous Costa Mesa salon to discuss the transition from high-end salon stylists to the founders of Stotts Atelier, a fresh, inviting salon that strikes the sometimes tenuous balance of between being modern and inviting. They talk about everything from selecting the space to creating and maintaining positive salon culture, and give a key piece of advice for any stylist considering going out on their own.
Special thanks to both Sean and Carrie (and their adorable and patient son, Levi), and the entire Stotts team for this fun and socially distant collaboration!
