Why it matters: - The Trophy Club location now has a larger bench of stylists as demand rises in Denton County’s fast-growing SH-114 corridor. - The salon’s Level System links hiring, training and promotion to client demand and measurable progression. - The expansion gives the Trophy Club studio more capacity to serve nearby neighborhoods and surrounding cities.
