Casey Voss Quotes
I'm scared about every dollar that comes into my business. I'm scared about what that means in Obamacare, in taxes. Every single thing that is happening to me is out of my control.
The last sentence of this quotation was very typical of many middle and even upper middle class Americans in 2016. Change, technological, social and political, was evident almost everywhere and unlike most change of the past, where the change took place over extended periods of time, change was occuring much faster. Voss, like so many others, was feeling overwhelmed, and powerless to control her own life adn destiny. She clearly still had much control over much of her life as her business wold not even exist were it not for the ideas and ahrd work of Casey and her partners, but compared to just decades ago the forces of change were so dynaic that many American felt as she did--that EVERYTHING was out of her control.

At just over 15,000 citizens, Owosso, Michigan may be a small town, but in the 1920s it had a unique claim to fame. “We had the most millionaires per capita in the country,” says Casey Voss, who owns the salon with her husband Adam Voss and her longtime business partner Jamie Smith. “So we thought why not created a beautiful salon and spa here and celebrate our town’s cool history.” With history guiding their designing minds, the trio settled on an old furniture warehouse for the salon’s space, and they incorporated the building’s historical details and structural components into the overall design. “While Jamie was responsible for most of the design decisions, I convinced her to let me have free reign with the open color bar,” laughs Voss. “Swiping an idea from Pinterest, we it from local, salvaged barn wood and created its top with leather belts collected from family, friends, clients and staff. Now, it’s one of our favorite pieces.” Behind the color bar and in-between the shampoo area and the barbershop, sepia-toned images of historic Owosso are printed on etched glass—creating a sense of privacy between the spaces while allowing light to flow through the space. Resalvaged wood continues to play a role in the hand-made station mirrors hung from the ceiling while elegance factors into the space with strategically placed chandeliers. The front desk welcomes guests with a mosaic of shimmering glass tiles in shades of browns and accents of bright blue, while its poured concrete counter top weaves in the rustic charm. “Our clients love how the space celebrates our small town, and they say the atmosphere makes them feel like dressing up to come in for their salon experience,” says Voss. The new design ushered in some new changes to the existing business, as well. Adam Voss completed barbering school last year, and his wife and Smith opted to move the salon’s nail area to create a man cave for him, opening up The Lounge Barbershop and Shave Parlor. “Initially, we thought he’d built a clientele off the spouses of our salon clients, but it turns out it’s brought in a whole new clientele wanting the upscale men’s services.” 2013 SALONS OF THE YEAR 3RD RUNNER UP Hair Peace Salon and Spa featuring The Lounge Barbershop and Shave Parlor Owosso, Michigan Hairpeacesalonandspa.comAt just over 15,000 citizens, Owosso, Michigan may be a small town, but in the 1920s it had a unique claim to fame. “We had the most millionaires per capita in the country,” says Casey Voss, who owns the salon with her husband Adam Voss and her longtime business partner Jamie Smith. “So we thought why not created a beautiful salon and spa here and celebrate our town’s cool history.” With history guiding their designing minds, the trio settled on an old furniture warehouse for the salon’s space, and they incorporated the building’s historical details and structural components into the overall design. “While Jamie was responsible for most of the design decisions, I convinced her to let me have free reign with the open color bar,” laughs Voss. “Swiping an idea from Pinterest, we it from local, salvaged barn wood and created its top with leather belts collected from family, friends, clients and staff.
