Being involved in anchoring businesses in San Antonio for over 30 years, Rick and Ellen Andrus are proud to call San Antonio their home.
What began as a small promotions company – their first venture Showcase Inc. – in 1979 has left a big footprint on the community of show production in South Central Texas.Their business deals with the production of events included contracting the facility, soliciting and contracting the vendors for the show, marketing, set up and management of the event.
With a hands-on approach to their close relationship with the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, Showcase Inc. has maintained the commercial exhibits and the Family Fair area for more than 20 years.
The Andrus’ dream of becoming involved with the beauty and wellness industry has landed them in yet another venture, the concept of salon and spa suites that has been gaining national popularity.
In essence, it is the business of leasing boutique-like spaces to independent salon/spa specialists. In this rapidly growing field Rick and Ellen have successfully extracted the absolute best aspects while learning and building the most ideal situation to let an independent business owner cultivate their business.
The Oasis Salon Suites & Spa offers exclusive, fully-equipped, furnished, salon boutique suites ready for independent operation without the overhead often associated with opening a traditional salon. Its mission is to provide the highest quality, individual salon suites enabling beauty professionals to successfully own and operate at maximum potential.
“One of the most essential ingredients in this business is that I am able to serve my guest in an upscale, professional environment that is in a convenient location,” says boutique salon owner Nowlin Roberts, “and with 24/7 access I am able to offer my clients V.I.P. hours starting as early as 5:30 a.m. which works out great for the busy professional.”
This is perhaps the single best thing The Oasis Salon Suites & Spa has to offer. A noticeable difference than the more conventional salon, the Oasis offers the top San Antonio beauty professionals the opportunity to accommodate all aspects of the guests’ needs and be solely responsible as the business owner.
This distinction promotes a professional and mutually beneficial working environment for both the Andrus’ and the Oasis team, allowing them to grow in an environment of working satisfaction.
“After many years of salon ownership I find that the salon suite concept affords me the best of both worlds,” says Andrea Hayden of the Hair Management Group. “It gives me the ability to own my own business plus the camaraderie of working in the same complex with other like-minded business professionals.
“At The Oasis I am able to provide undivided attention to my clientele without traditional salon ownership distractions. My clientele love my ability to focus on each of their needs on a one-to-one basis all within a relaxed, serene and private environment.”
Timothy Webber of Rhodes Wallace Salon says the Oasis is a five-star opportunity to provide exceptional service to his clients in the style they have become accustomed.
“With 24 hour accessibility at the Oasis I am able to accommodate for my clients hectic schedules,” he says. “Any business owner with a drive for success would appreciate the amenities of The Oasis Salon Suites & Spa.”
Salon suites are leased to beauty professionals and are ideal for hair stylists, nail technicians, estheticians and massage therapists.
The Oasis Salon Suites & Spa is at Huebner Road at Loop 1604 at the Plaza Las Campanas.
