Black Plumber rehabs nail salon for the family business
The salon, located at 4009 167th in Country Club Hills, a suburb of Chicago, was formerly a retail outlet, which Bro. Marcus and his team, which included his son, converted into a state-of-the-art facility. His plumbing knowledge and exposure to quality salons in other communities were extremely helpful.
“Within the past five years, I have done the plumbing in at least 12 nail salons in areas such as Naperville, Elgin, Bolingbrook, and the North Side of Chicago, just to name a few,” Bro. Marcus said. “These were very nice salons, and I would never see any like that in our community. One thing that stood out was the exhaust system. Each manicure table and pedicure chair had an exhaust system connected to remove fumes from the area.”
