Committee Questions, Comments, Concerns

  • It seems to be quite a bit of text on the awnings.  Can any of the wording be removed?
  • Is the corner canopy needed?
  • Perhaps not repeat the "Afros, Facials, Tapers, Fades" text and move the "Razorlines and Eyebrow Arch" to replace the repeated text.

 

 

Motion to approve with the condition to remove the razorlines and eyebrow arch from the corner canopy, not having repeated text, and paint the storefront windows a consistent color.

Project details presented by Adelle Wincek of BNext.  Presented details on the updated signage, sign plan was originally reviewed and approved in June 2019. 

 

Committee Questions, Comments, Concerns

  • Do you know what is behind the panels on the transom window area?
  • Will all the graphics and lettering be visible from a distance?
  • Seems that the graphic may be competing a bit with the lettering, think about fading out the graphic a bit or making the lettering bolder.
  • Consider creating more space between the words.
