I was watching the growth happen in a speech and they had the homearama there the first homearama. And I said to my husband, you know, there's no salons around here. I think that we need a really good salon. And he said, Well, you should do it. And in 2006 we did it. Eric 2:43There you go. Yeah. Now I learned when I came in here, you actually have two sides. But when you started you started with the one right. Sue 2:50We one side I was gonna say a very small neighborhood salon. And within two years of opening, people were climbing all over each other. So we took the storefront right next to us and divided up to the spa side and the hair side. Eric 3:06Alright. Now how many people did you when you started? How many people did Jeff working for you?
