Random Thoughts From Antoinette
This is Antoinette. She's our V.P. of Pretty Much Everything -- runs the stores, orders our products, gets really annoyed with the Grooming Guys, etc. She's certainly a superstar and great leader. The Grooming Guys recently sat down with Ant to get her thoughts on what's happening at our company, the industry and her life in general:
- ATLANTA: "I'm super excited about our new store opening in Atlanta. It's our first store out of town, which will certainly pose it's challenges. That said, we're bringing an army down there to make sure the Grooming Lounge way is translated perfectly in the south and our service doesn't miss a beat at any of our destinations."
- PRODUCTS: "When people want to sell new products into the company, the call on me. I love getting the stuff, but since I don't shave my face (thank the almighty), I have to hand it out to the guys around the office and the barbers in our store. It really is amazing how many men's brands are out there now. I literally get a package a day from a new company trying to promote everything from shave cream to eye cream."
- MY SHIRT: "What are your thoughts on the shirt I'm wearing in this picture?"
- OUR TEAM: "We are really lucky to have a solid team here at the Grooming Lounge. I've heard horror stories about some places in the salon industry -- and even though we in no way consider ourselves a salon (we don't even use the S word) -- it would be easy for folks to lump us into that category. Our crew here is 100% focused on providing great customer and technical service. We're committed to not wasting time gossiping, chewing gum and complaining. We're trying to set a new standard. We want the men who visit us on line and come into our stores to feel like kings."
- THE FUTURE: I see the men's grooming industry continuing to flourish. Even though it's been getting a lot of attention over the last several years, it's still not 100% mainstream. The more guys are aware of the products and services available to them out there, the more the more in demand they will be. We're just one of the folks trying to spread the grooming gospel.
