What more could a successful full-service salon and boutique need? For celebrity stylist Melissa Schleicher, it was a way to bring her services to more clientsand the brilliant solution was a beauty bus. Combining the glamour of Brentwood's Parlour 3 with the convenience of styling on location, Schleicher's salon-on-wheels delivers the art of hair and makeup straight to your door.
Always in search of the next big thing, Schleicher was brewing the idea of a beauty bus even before Parlour 3 opened its brick-and-mortar doors.
'There's a definite need for something like this in Nashville,” Schleicher explains. 'It feels just like my salon, but it's a welcome change of pace for everyone.”
With three stations for both hair and makeup, the 45-foot bus has space for six clients to be styled at once. For her design inspiration, Schleicher wanted something 'upscale and luxurious, but accessible.” Clients are greeted with posh décor and chandelier lightinga far cry from the poorly lit makeup trailers and tour buses to which many artists are accustomed.
Glitz and glam aside, Schleicher is most excited to use her beauty bus for good. In addition to bridal parties, photo shoots, and the upcoming CMA Awards, the beauty bus is ready to hit the road and provide a pretty pick-me-up for busy women who can't make it to the salon.
