FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, 7/1/2010
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (July 1, 2010) — Thirteen years ago Leslie McGwire led the creation of The Salon & Spa Design Studio in Farmington Hills, MI, a new division for tng worldwide (TNG) that would eventually become The Pavilion. Leaving for California in 2001, she spent the past nine years building an impressive career. Now the journey has taken her back to where it all began, rejoining TNG in June 2010 as the new VP of Pavilion Sales.
A member of ASID-Allied (American Society of Interior Designers), Leslie has designed award-winning,
premier, high end salons, spas and resorts. Some notable locations she’s designed include The Mirage, Wynn Hotel & Resort and JM Marriott in Las Vegas, The Doves in Santa Monica, Jose Eber Salons in Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, and Houston, and Amadeus Salons & Spas in Newport Beach and Pasadena. Most recently she worked with the executive producers of Shear Genius and The Tabitha Show, creating set design with unique equipment and chairs.
Since her 2001 departure, Leslie has won eight “Salon of the Year” awards and other management awards. In California, she made significant changes for Takara Belmont that led to attaining record sales. More recently as western region sales director for Belvedere USA, she focused on serving chain and distributor accounts.
“Coming back to the division I started over thirteen years ago at TNG was a natural for me,” Leslie says. “I enjoy getting to work once again with all the TNG employees I’ve remembered from the past as well as meeting and working with the new talent that has joined the team in my absence.”
With more than 25 years of experience in business development, interior design, sales and marketing services for salon, resort and spa-based businesses in the U.S., she has been keeping pace with the convergence of her design skills, solid management experiences, some travel and honed skills forging key alliances and partnerships. At The Pavilion Showroom in Farmington Hills, the nation’s largest salon & spa equipment showroom, Leslie notes that she works with a team of very talented interior designers in the showroom on different projects. This location boasts 25,000 sq. ft. of salon & spa equipment and a design center.
Through her leadership and experience, Leslie is demonstrating to the team how to best support the positive image and reputation of their brands, products and the tng worldwide organization. In addition to providing responsive, high-level service to talent and clients, she is inspired to nurture the team to perform beyond their goals and deliver beyond the client’s expectations.
Having a true passion for business, design and the beauty industry, Leslie is a natural fit and right at home in the organization she helped create. Providing a turn-key design/sales approach for valued clients, distributors and chain accounts is something she loves to do and continues to accomplish in her new role at The Pavilion.
Leslie’s key considerations for reception area renovation
1 This area is where valued clients receive their first impression of your salon. Make sure it is the focal point and represents your salon’s image.
2 As a rule, reception seating should equal one-third of the number of styling chairs. As a salon owner, you want a design that encourages clients to shop instead of just sitting.
3 Give careful consideration to expanding or including retail area. At least 25% of salon profits should come from retail sales, day or night.
4 Utilize window space to display products so they can be seen from outside.
5 Display products so they can be seen, felt and touched by clients.
6 Have a decorative table by the reception desk area to display your “Product of the Month”. It is important to keep display product open so clients will interact through touch and smell.

Edmond has been involved in the hospitality business since 1986. His expertise lies in developing custom personal care products and ancillary items for resorts and hotels. Since joining TNG, Edmond has been instrumental in getting the hospitality division ready for its big debut.
“Letting a customer down who has done business with me isn’t an option,” says Edmond. “It’s exciting looking forward because we are building this business on an amazing foundation.”
Ginger Lily Farms and TNG Hospitality
thebeautybook Fall 2010 edition features more than 500 new spa & locker room supplies including shampoo, conditioner, hand lotion, shower gel, shave cream, razors and mouthwash.

As a testament to the relationships he has built, most of Edmond’s clients have been with him since he started. Based in Westchester County, NY, he frequently travels to client destinations across the country. When he does so, he takes the time to stay a few days at his client’s properties to learn more about their business needs. His wife, Debra, daughter Hayley, 13 and son Cole, 11, have been fortunate to travel with him extensively.
“When it comes to vacation, for the most part we don’t travel as a family unless it’s to a client,” Edmond says. “It’s fantastic that we can do this. There are so many places in the U.S. that people should visit.”
Some of Edmond’s favorites include Sedona, AZ, Jackson Hole, WY, Hot Springs, VA, Cape Cod and the Phoenix area. And he loves central Oregon. All of the locations have lovely properties in amazing settings and they, too have great relationships with their guests.
“I’m an advocate for my clients and do the best job I can, including giving them the best quality, best service, best value that others don’t offer,” Edmond closes.
As the VP of Hospitality Sales, Edmond looks forward to new opportunities to serve both his existing clients and many new clients to come. “Hey, I plan on spending another 20 years doing this!
