She loves to see artists blossom and it’s that love and passion that has to lead her to open her new salon! Lure Co+Op is a beautiful salon designed by renowned designers, Swoon Studios in Dallas. This new workspace is opened in September 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic created new ways of working, and Yvonne felt there was a void in the industry for artists that had been displaced and needed more flexibility in a workspace. Therefore, she created the hybrid salon workspace. In a hybrid salon workplace model, artists have the flexibility to work in the salon, out of the salon, and focus on other interests or life situations. Whatever the reason, the goal of a hybrid salon workplace is to balance the needs of individual artists with the ability to collaborate and be productive in a shared physical space. Yvonne is excited about this new venture and looking forward to what the future holds!
