February 1, 2010 (RALEIGH, NC) – North Raleigh salon owners, Jack and Joelle Ray, proudly opened their new corporate offices and education facility called “The Annex”.  The space is conveniently located on Newton Road in the Newton Square Shopping Center around the corner from their award-winning  Samuel Cole Salon.   The Annex houses the offices of their President, Vice-President, and other administrative positions.  It also features a spacious conference room and an area exclusively dedicated to educational events.  A call center will round out the operations at The Annex. 

“This is such a long-awaited and much needed move for us.  We have had the privilege to continually grow our business over the past 12 years.  We have two very successful salons (Samuel Cole Salon & Salon Moxie) and plans to open more in the future.  However, to continue with our growth plan, we needed to put into place effective infrastructure on the corporate side of the business.  The Annex will play a key role in our company’s continued growth.   All of the pieces fell into place for us at just the right time,”   said Joelle.

The award-winning Samuel Cole Salon located on Newton Road in North Raleigh is a Bumble & bumble network salon and features the ultra exclusive Oribe luxe haircare line. Oribe was created by the legendary celebrity and fashion stylist, Oribe Canales.  The salon has been featured nationally in Salon Today, American Salon, Modern Salon and Metro Magazine, as well as internationally in Estetica (Italy) and StyleSpeak (India).  Salon Moxie, Samuel Cole’s sister salon, features an intimate salon setting with a studio feel and carries Bumble and bumble and Aveda products.  It is located on Falls of the Neuse Road in the North Ridge Shopping Center.
