Cohousing-L Mailing List: Grooming Space

[Grace Kim (grace]

I presume this means a place for people to get hair cuts/spa services (vs. dog 
grooming).

I would highly advise against having very specific uses like this that require 
special equipment or plumbing to have a dedicated space in the CH.  Unless you 
have a vendor lined up in advance who is willing to pay for the use of that 
space, it is not advisable to spend money to plumbing hair washing sinks for a 
"would be nice" activity.
As Sharon said, if the people who care about this decide not to do it any 
longer, what can this room be adapted to be?

AND....
If you remove the hair washing function (i.e. ,tell people to wash their hair 
and come to CH with wet hair for appointments), then you could simply do a hair 
cutting day in the great room....just make sure participants are very 
meticulous about cleaning up (no one likes hair clippings on the table during 
mealtime).   You could have chair and mirror stored in a closet and pulled out 
for that function.
