Brooke Evans, proprietor of a salon based mostly in Ironbridge in Shropshire, says {that a} important variety of shoppers work whereas their color is processing. “With this in thoughts, we put in USB ports and additional sockets at each station from after we opened. Since then have added a espresso (and) bar space and additional seating for these shoppers who want a quieter space to work when making calls or video calls and only a extra snug house to work at a laptop computer.”
