Salon Today is a national trade publication that covers business strategy, industry trends, and performance benchmarks for salon and spa owners across the United States and Canada. Each year, the publication evaluates North America’s top-performing salons and recognizes fewer than 200 of them in its annual Top 200 list.
A Moment’s Peace has been on that list every year since 2019. Eight consecutive years — one of the longest unbroken runs in Tennessee. Our most recent recognition is in our 2025 Salon Today Top 200 announcement.
What the Salon Today Top 200 Is
The Salon Today Top 200 is not a public vote. It is an editorial and data-driven evaluation assessing salons on specific business performance categories including client retention and referral, employee education and development, business growth, and overall guest experience. Each year, applicants submit data and narrative responses for review. Fewer than 200 salons across all of North America receive the designation in any given year.

Why Eight Consecutive Years Matters
A single year on the Salon Today Top 200 is a meaningful achievement. Eight consecutive years is a different statement entirely. It means that across a period that included a global pandemic, significant shifts in consumer behavior, and growing competition in Middle Tennessee, A Moment’s Peace has continued to improve or maintain the standards that earned initial recognition. Our NPS guest experience system is a core driver of this consistency.
The Broader Recognition Picture
The Salon Today history sits alongside our Sizzle Award wins from 2015 through 2025 across four categories, and our Williamson’s Best Best Massage award in 2024 and 2025. National recognition, local community votes, and editorial assessment from three independent sources — all pointing in the same direction.
