Crestwood-Sunset Hills Area Chamber Honors Grabber School of Hair Design with the Community Improvement Award

Wow! Drive by the Grabber School of Hair Design at night and you will definitely say that. Not to say that it isn’t gorgeous in the daytime, but it is really quite compelling at night. Grabber transformed the run down old car dealership into a thing of beauty. More beautiful in fact than when the building was originally constructed. Everything has a fresh new look and the lighting is extraordinary. From the video-board sign to the LED lighting, Grabber did everything right to make their new location a star in the community.

Grabber School of Hair Design is a cosmetology school that instructs students in hair design and manicuring, and provides a full service salon to the public. The school is fully accredited and licensed through the Department of Education, offering day and night classes. For over 30 years Grabber has produced some of the most prestigious hair designers and salon owners in the St. Louis area. Since the opening of the new facility in March 2013, the current enrollment has grown to more than 100 students.

The new school is designed with an industrial look and equipped with the latest innovative and green technology. The solar panel system provides 25,000 watts per hour. The interior and exterior lighting is completely illuminated with over 700 LED fixtures. Over 15 miles of wiring was installed to incorporate wireless controls for security, heating, lighting, sound, 20 TV’s and over 60 security cameras.

When the building becomes heavily occupied, carbon dioxide sensors introduce fresh air into the building. The greenhouse solarium not only provides a pleasant atmosphere, but also provides supplemental heating. Classrooms are equipped with Smart Board technology, which measures the position of the instructor’s hands with laser sensors. The Grabber School of Hair Design is grateful for all of the enthusiasm received by the Crestwood community and appreciates all of the considerations made by the City of Crestwood.
