"We are your new age Dream Team." |

Hello, I am
Julie Cales, and I have been in this business for 29 years. I love working
with people. For those of you who are ready, I plan to bring you the best
services a salon has to offer. I am licensed in hair, nails and massage therapy.
I have many certificates in skin care therapy as well.
We strongly believe in continuous education for all members of our
team, by providing regular training in the latest updates in this industry. We
don't have to go to Las Vegas; we are bringing Vegas to the Farm.

Hi, I am Jim
"Mecco" Cales the salon coordinator and marketing director for A Great
Escape. I love art, literature, philosophy. I am also a master hairstylist and
artist, retired for the moment, as I am pursuing some of the other possible
paths that life may have to offer.
Yet, still find myself involved in this ever changing beauty
industry, and still loving it. Mack, who is our son, is a natural
artist and hairstylist. Mack is going to become the Robert Cromeans in this new
arena, soon to be known as Farm Vegas in the very near future. He is definitely
a rising new star.
