It is an Aveda Lifestyle Spa, which means they use natural, plant-based Aveda products and treatments. It began as a small barber shop with just three employees 34 years ago, and now has over 30 employees. And why not give your car the same pampering as you do for your body? Owners Doug and Laura Warner opened a car-detailing shop behind the salon, called TI Auto Spa, that offers car cleaning and detailing.</p>

We have signed up to donate hair for the Gulf Oil Spill Booms.</p>
<p>Currently, there are 13 locations with thousands of pounds of hair and nylons coming in from every state in the US and from Canada, Brazil, France, and the UK. Booms are being made all along the Gulf Coast near beaches and marshes. What a community feeling! We all get it. We shampoo our hair because hair collects oil!</p>
<p>This Hair-Mat-Mushroom concept has been proven on a smaller scale all over the world and now its time has come. As the dire implications of the spill are becoming more apparent, there is an offensive we can all be a part of.</p>

<p class="paragraph_style">Doug Warner, who owns Twin Image Spa Salon with his wife, Laura, said his business is taking full-service to the next level.</p>
<p class="paragraph_style">Recently, the pair bought an old car rental facility at 824 Orchard St. and converted it into TI Auto Spa, located just behind the salon at 121 W. Benton St.</p>
<p class="paragraph_style">Warner said that when clients come in for lengthy salon services, they can pamper their car at the same time.
