Damon Smith and his team are exceptional realtors. Over the past several years we have used Damon to help us purchase two houses and sell two houses. For all four transactions, he has gone above and beyond to serve our needs.

During the most recent transaction, we received an immediate offer for $10,000 above list price.

We hit a challenge when the buyer's lender chose an appraiser who was not familiar with the area and showed other signs of incompetency.

Damon went to work using his knowledge and experience and developed a strategy to get our property sold at the contracted price above list price. From the time that we contacted Damon to list or buy a house, he and his team have worked fast and efficiently to get the best price and to get the property sold and closed quickly."

COUNTRY MUSIC, COME FROM ALL SORTS OF UNIQUE BACKGROUNDS. Oftentimes, their stories run along parallel tracks. Curt Chambers is an exception in many ways.

Growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Chambers learned his first chords and licks on the acoustic guitar from the players that performed in the predominantly Black churches around Philly.

“I grew up in a strict household and wasn’t allowed to listen to secular music,” Chambers says while recording an upcoming episode for the Southern Americana podcast in mid-July. “Most of my early musical influences came from those who played in our church. They weren’t household names, but in my opinion, those musicians are some of my musical heroes because they were amazing.”

Chambers recalled that Bishop Lorenzo Harrison, the man who started the music in his church, was friends with Elvis Presley. He is considered one of the best steel players in the church music scene and also influenced

AT TIRE THAT INSPIRES 30

Brentwood Lifestyle | September 2020

WE DO BELIEVE THAT WOMEN NEED SUPPORT AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT TOOLS TO BE EMPOWERED.” DRESS FOR SUCCESS NASHVILLE, A PROGRAM THROUGH THE YWCA, HAS OPERATED FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS. A local affiliate of the worldwide organization, it has helped countless women become financially secure.

“I believe very much in the YW’s mission of eliminating racism, empowering women, and loving peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all,” says Sharon Roberson, the president and CEO of the YWCA of Nashville and Middle Tennessee. “Dress for Success is a crucial part of that mission because we do believe that women need support and career development tools to be empowered.”

Women are referred to Dress for Success from one of the Y’s many partner organizations in the community. These are women who have a desire to transition to a higher economic level through professional development.

Dress for Success provides the clothes, the tools, and a network for women to help them become financially independent. This, in turn, leads to more security for their families.

A career specialist helps women assemble their resumes. Even if they have never been in the workforce, these specialists help them discover the skills they have and how to market them.

Before an interview, a woman is given what they call a “suiting,” which consists of an interview outfit and accessories.

confidence needed to make a positive first impression.

If the woman gets the job, she is then able to return and receive a week’s worth of clothing, which she can mix and match as she desires.

“Many of these women,” says Sharon, “have never had anyone pamper them or encouraged them to feel good about themselves.”

“We also have a professional women’s group that mentors our clients, because when you get into the workforce, the first step is getting the job, but keeping the job is the second step,” she says.

Some of the women who have gone through Dress for Success and other YWCA programs come back to be mentors themselves. “They are our greatest pride,” says Sharon. “There are no better teachers than those who have been there.”

women can donate their time; others can hold a clothing drive, or financially assist the program.

If anyone in Williamson County is interested in Dress for Success, or any women’s organizations as a whole, Sharon says she would be happy to speak with them. “For $250, you can cover the cost of an interview suiting for one client.

You can give a woman a new lease on life with this $250.”

TREND SETTER IF YOU COULD DO ONE THING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Most of us don’t know how to answer that question. Then there’s Aaron McGill, master tailor, and owner of Only One Tailoring and Fior Bespoke.

Aaron has been in business since he was 10 years old -- almost three decades of his life. Aaron’s late mother, Cynthia, was a tailor to the stars. She and Aaron’s late father, Michael, tailored clothing for country legends such as Louise Mandrell, Rascal Flatts, Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, and Brad Paisley, to name a few. She saw talent in the young Aaron and encouraged him to follow his passion. So he stopped going to traditional school after the fourth grade and apprenticed with her.

In 2009, Aaron took over his mother’s business and turned it from an un-named “celebrity-only” company into Only One Tailoring.

Fall for men is all about creative layering. Try pairing different prints or textures in the same color palette. If you’re wearing a casual blazer, add a pocket square with some personality! A great shoe never goes unnoticed by your peers. Whether it’s a boot or sneaker, the shoe also can tie your whole look together. And one important shoe tip - leave the gym shoes where they belong...in the gym! If you haven’t invested in a pair of slim-straight jeans, this is a must. No more baggy, straight-legged jeans, guys. If your denim (or slacks) have more than 2 inches give, you should probably consider an upgrade. Fit matters no matter what the size.

NATURAL BORN ARTIST TORI NICOLE HANDBAG DESIGNER

TORI NICOLE SADLER KNEW SHE’D BE AN ARTIST FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE. She says, “I watched my grandmother joyfully tend her own garden, my father’s entrepreneurial career, my mother’s creative skill in her poetry, and grew up knowing that art and love was in our blood. Whether I was sketching on the walls of my childhood home or playing with fabrics, I knew that this was what I should be doing.”

She did a lot of traveling early on in her career and adds, “God provided me with the ability to immerse myself in the lives of fascinating people along the way. It was while traveling that I really discovered my love for language and culture.

Mixing these experiences with my intrigue for textile art birthed the journey of TORI NICOLE®, where every piece of wearable art is reminiscent of these stories and experiences.”

Tori continues, “The first ever bag I made was the “Amelia” clutch, in honor of my maternal great grandmother. She was an inspiring woman, with her own “Garden of Eden” in the little town of Eden, Mississippi where she grew up. She inspired those who followed her to create something of their own that would impact those around them.”

When asked where she derives her own inspiration from, Tori reveals, “I feel deeply tied to my family and those I share my life with, and include a little bit of them in everything I create.

of which are the essence of my inspiration and love. It is because of this that a lot of my bags are named after significant people who have played a strong impactful role in my life.

These pieces all remind me of the stories that they have told me, characteristics that made them individually special, or experiences we have shared. It has become my passion to unite people’s stories with my own and create something unforgettable to symbolize that.”

Tori is very excited to announce that she has begun partnering with boutiques to sell her collection in stores in 2020.

She explains, “My bags are made for the person who will appreciate my art and all the love and labor that goes into my creations.

Nothing brings me more joy in life than seeing people love their Tori Nicole collection pieces as much as I do.”

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIT BACK, RELAX, AND DRINK A MIMOSA WHILE GETTING A FABULOUS HAIRSTYLE? Or, maybe you would rather settle down to a chick flick or listen to some good music while stylists work their magic?

Have a deadline? Bring along your laptop and get some work done while enjoying some much-needed pampering.

Basically, Drybar salons are whatever you want them to be.

Indulge Yourself

“So, we are all about the experience,” says Bonnie Horton Willoughby, who owns Drybar Brentwood and Drybar Nashville. “You come in and we serve coffee and different teas and champagne. We say we’re not only selling blowouts, but also happiness and confidence.”

Stylists first do a consultation with a client to find out the kind of style they’re looking to achieve. There is a book filled with an array of their signature styles, all named after well-known cocktails. After all, this is a bar.

“The most popular style here in Nashville is The Mai Tai, which is a beachy, wavy look where the ends are a little bit straighter,” says Bonnie. “The Cosmo is another popular one which has a finished curl look, more of like a Southern Belle look.”

Once a style is chosen, clients are then taken to the shampoo room, which is a luxurious part of the Drybar experience.“You get a wonderful shampoo and conditioning where you can add a scalp massage or a hydrating treatment,” she says.

On average, a visit takes about 45 minutes from beginning to end. And they style all hair types and textures.

Of course, men are welcome, too. Even those with short hair will drop in for a shampoo and a scalp massage.

They also have regular clients who come in a couple times a week. They are usually enrolled in the Barfly membership program, which is filled with great extras. “We have women who really come in to feel great before they go out with girlfriends, or go out on a date with their boyfriends or their husbands,” says Bonnie.

Since COVID-19, women are finding various reasons to get themselves to a Drybar. If not going into the office, working women still want to look great while having Zoom meetings.

And stay-at-home moms need a little private time for some much-deserved self care.

Drybar stylists can also come to your residence. One recently went to a beautiful home in Brentwood for a mothSavannah, Manager Bonnie, Owner

the stylist gave them a blowout,” says Bonnie. “They were really just enjoying some quality time together and we left them feeling amazing.”

Drybar also does what’s called a Drypro, where they send a stylist to private events for styling only (no blowouts), such as bachelorette parties and little girls’ birthday parties. They can even do braids at a pool party.

Besides a fun atmosphere and great hairstyles, Drybar also offers styling tools, such as the Double Shot, which is a brush and a blow dryer in one. Additionally, they have an extensive product line that is designed specifically for styling.

“That’s what’s unique about our products. We have a line of heat protectants, a volumizing line, a straight line, and a texturizing line,” says Bonnie. “One of our most popular products is our dry shampoo, which really helps extend the life of your blowout.”

ARTIST’S PALETTE

AUDIO CALLING ALL AUDIOPHILES WITH PASSION FOR HIFI

“WHY DIDN’T I HEAR THIS BEFORE?” The audio engineer expert and owner of Nashville HiFi hears that question frequently from shoppers and clients, who are often listening to crystal-clear sounds for the first time, due to the store’s equipment.

“By combining carefully selected brands of hi fidelity products for their sound and build qualities, we’re able to reproduce music the way artists intended for it to sound. Not messed with by tweeters or woofers in a speaker that have you asking, ‘Where’s the bass?’” says Nashville HiFi operator Brad Bossman.

Like his name, Brad is a bossman of sound. He’s specialized in stereo components, home theater systems, turntables and highend headphones for the past 17 years. He and his father used to work on sound systems together, learning firsthand the components required for quality. “I approach the business as it’s my job to do the homework for clients. I can explain what the equipment does and doesn’t do, and how the output changes at various points,” he assures. “I encourage clients to ask a ton of questions so they know they made the absolute best decision.”

Handling sound projects throughout the United States, Brad says he still has clients from the first day he opened. He originally launched the store in Florida. In 2007, he moved to the quaint town of Fairview, and stayed there for seven years. The store’s been located in Nashville for four years now.

Acting as a consultant from the beginning to the installing end of projects, Brad says he brings the very best of options into his lineup. He also can set up wireless systems.

He carries three lines of speakers exclusively in Tennessee, for example. “Some brands in the store you won’t find again until you hit Texas,” he says.

Examples of brands he carries include Simaudio, Octave, Rega, Dynaudio, NAD, Cardas Audio, Kaleidescape, Astell&Kern, NAIM, YG Acoustics, Focal and Audioquest.

With so many people working from home and entertaining themselves in place, the Audeze brand of headphones offered

by Nashville HiFi are popular. They can serve as noise-canceling devices for concentration, and the manufacturer promises they deliver “uncompromised audio.” Brad says Audeze headphones sell for $250 to $5,000, with a new Audeze Penrose gaming 64

ARTICLE JULIE BROWN PATTON PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF NASHVILLE HIFI

headset running about $299. He adds that the Audeze LCD-GX headset for elite gamers gener-

Brad Bossman

ally costs approximately $900.

However, many clients are surprised about how affordable high-end stereo systems and devices can be. Part of the benefit comes from having precision-based equipment.

“I’m happy to answer everyone’s questions because I want them to be truly happy with their system and its ultimate performance,” says Brad.

MUSIC ROOM FOR MUSIC CITY Brad delivered the sound system that went into the custom-designed music room of the 2019 Whole Home Concept House in Nashville commissioned by House Beautiful. He worked with Atlanta-based interior designers Forbes + Masters from start to finish to create an “adult listening lounge” for the project.

The house is located specifically in Belle Meade at 725 Westview Ave. Brad says the designers were looking for the best in HiFi in all of Nashville. “When consulting multiple resources, the designers were told the same thing: Come to us,” he adds.

He says the six-month project encompassed components totaling about $17,500.

Due to COVID-19 safety measures, Nashville HiFi currently is open by appointment only.

OPEN HOUSE

Creating a Better View MAKE SURE YOUR WINDOWS ARE ENERGY EFFICIENT ARTICLE SUSAN BALDANI

WHEN THE DIFFERENT SEASONS MOVE INTO TENNESSEE IN FULL FORCE, KEEPING HOMES INSULATED IS A TOP PRIORITY. You can have the best air conditioning and heating system, but if your windows are not energy efficient, your house may still feel like you’re outside.

Windows that are old, have seal failure (you’ll have fog and dirt buildup between the panes), or water leakage (you’ll see rot around the windows and windowsills), need to be replaced. Doing this will result in lower electric bills.

Rick Schuman, a sales representative for Pella windows for more than 15 years, and Paul Atwood, a trade representative for Pella, provide some helpful advice about replacing your home’s windows.

1.

2.

Look online for a professional window installer that only handles windows. If you go to Pella.com and put in your zip code, you can easily schedule an appointment with a representative.

A 5/8 thick triple pane with low E (emissivity) will reflect the sun rays while still allowing in visible light. There’s a balancing act because you want energy efficient windows, but still want the sunlight that comes through to look natural and maintain the true colors on the walls. Also, look for an energy label of .30 or less.

3.

The lead time is four to six weeks, so don’t wait too long to get started. For an average size house, allow three to five days for installation.

Once they’re in, have a salesperson come back out and walk around the house to make sure everything looks fine.
