The Classic Autosmith Combines Passions For Hair & Cars
Shannon Smith recently celebrated her first anniversary at The Salon of Classic AutoSmith in Marietta, Georgia. For years, she and her husband Brandon dreamed of combining their passions in life: hair and vintage cars.
September of 2012 Brandon opened up his business of storing, consignment, and servicing classic, vintage, and exotic cars. Once Shannon’s salon lease was up, she and Brandon planned to build a new one in his showroom. They took a 1500-square-foot section within the 60,000-square-foot facility and turned her vision of black and white checkered floors and red accents into a two-station reality. They fashioned Craftsman tool boxes for stations, color bar, and front desk and carried the theme through the salon with black shelving and cabinets, black and white artwork, and a cool canary yellow hairdryer chair for a quirky touch. Old-fashioned barber poles adorn the exterior while vintage gas pumps tie in the theme from one business to another.
