After 30 years behind the chair, Rick Cheek decided it was time to focus his passion and talent elsewhere. His vision includes service excellence and the growth of his staff members as well as his establishment.
An AVEDA salon was the first and only choice from the beginning. Because of AVEDA’s mission to create an industry of beauty and wellness by sourcing through indigenous cultures, Rick knew this was a great opportunity to let everyone know his mission.
When Rick and his wife, Kris, began their journey to open their new salon, they wanted a natural, earth-friendly name. While searching through books on botanicals, they learned about Lemongrass. While further researching Lemongrass they discovered that it is grown and cultivated commercially in Guatemala. Guatemala is already close to their hearts, as it is the native land of their two adopted children. This was the perfect match.
Rick’s passion drove him to open his own salon where he could express his heart and souls work and his children’s story. On August 20, 2007 he opened his dream at University Park Village in Fort Worth. In November of 2009 he announced the purchase of his 2nd Lemongrass location in Southlake.
