I was the same as Vic. When I had my salon. I had (inherited) in one room, a very messy therapist , so I paid for the paint and the new therapist did it herself.
Second room my Tennant who offered more of the spiritual side, Reiki, ETC She painted it an olive green, sounds awful but once the room was finished and all the touches it did look beautiful, but I did re decorated that in white for the next person.
