Luxe Beauty Bar Salon Renovation

A.C.E. Building Service partnered with Luxe Beauty Bar to transform an existing building in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, into a contemporary salon designed around the needs of its stylists and guests. Previously home to a dress shop and later a funeral home, the building required a reconfigured floor plan to support salon operations while creating the inviting, upscale atmosphere Luxe envisioned.

Through a collaborative design/build process, our team developed a layout that preserved as much existing infrastructure as possible while accommodating a 1,200-square-foot, 12-chair salon area, a dedicated mixing room, a tranquil shampoo room, and a head spa suite. The Luxe team selected the finishes, from cabinet hardware and flooring to paint colors, while we worked closely with them to bring those selections together within the project’s budget.

Key design and construction highlights include:

• Purposeful Layout: Dedicated spaces for styling, mixing, shampooing, and head spa services support daily operations and create a comfortable experience for guests.

• Integrated Cleaning System: A central vacuum system helps stylists keep the salon floor clean throughout the day.

• Distinctive Ceiling Details: Faux wood beams add visual interest and break up the large ceiling expanse in the main salon area.

• Lighting for Work and Relaxation: Multiple lighting methods and fixture styles provide the illumination stylists need while creating a comforting atmosphere for clients.

• Compressed Construction Schedule: Work began in March 2026 and was completed in June 2026, delivering the renovation in a little over three months.

Regular communication and shared decision-making kept the project aligned with LUXE’s vision throughout construction. The completed space gives the salon room to grow its team while offering guests a welcoming setting with thoughtful details throughout.

“We had a very clear vision for what we wanted the salon to look and feel like, and we came in with pretty high expectations. A.C.E. never responded with, 'No, we can't do that.' Instead, they worked with us to find solutions that stayed true to our vision while keeping us within budget.” — Annie, Co-Owner at Luxe Beauty Bar
