Sisters build businesses in Buckhead, Sandy Springs BY COLLIN KELLEY The Davis sisters have built their businesses bead-by-bead and strand-by- strand. A close twosome, Andrea Goldklang is the owner of Belle de Jour Salon in Sandy Springs, and Sabrina Davis is the owner of both Brina Beads and Range Boutique in Buckhead. The Miami natives come from a fam ily of entrepreneurs and business owners, so running their own small businesses is almost second nature. “We like the idea of not having to answer to anyone else and be ing our own bosses,” Sabrina laughed. Brina Beads is cel ebrating 10 years in business, having suc cessfully weathered the economic down turn, while Belle de Jour has been a hit since it opened two years ago. “I actually start ed working part-time with Sabrina at the bead shop,” Andrea recalled. “Then I was working in a salon, but I knew I al ways wanted to open my own.” Trust formed at an early age when then 12-year-old Andrea cut 6-year-old Sabrina’s hair into a Dorothy Hamill bob. From that moment on, and sever al years of formal training later in New York and Paris, Sabrina was always ask ing Andrea to make her look like the top supermodel of the moment. Sabrina said she decided to open Bri na Beads after stints working sales in Los Angeles, and finding herself coming back and forth to Atlanta to visit her sis ter. It was actually Andrea’s idea to open a bead store. “There was a big trend 10 years ago of people making their own jewelry, and you saw celebrities with all this great beaded jewelry,” Sabrina said. “And peo ple still love to make their own jewelry.” In 2007 Sabrina added clothing to the shop, calling the new retail portion Range, offering pieces inspired by her time in California, or “West Coast cool” as she describes it. Sabrina said adding the clothing section to her shop helped the store survive the recession. “Instead of pay ing $40 or $50 for jewelry, they could come here and make it for $8. The cloth ing line actually helped increase the jewelry sales.” Both sisters love having business es near each oth er, and are regularly amazed at the crossover of their estab lishments. Andrea and Sabrina regu larly refer their customers to each oth er’s businesses. The sisters are also huge supporters of giving back, especially after Andrea’s 8-year-old son, Nolan, battled leukemia. From local schools to CURE Childhood Cancer, to Children’s Health Care of At lanta, The Shepherd Center to Bert’s Big Adventure are some of the organizations the duo has supported over the years. And even all these years later, Sabri na still loves getting styled by her older sis. And Andrea can be found now and again teaching a beading class or two at Brina Beads. “Instead of paying $40 or $50 for jewelry, they could come here and make it for $8. The clothing line actually helped increase the jewelry sales.” - SABRINA DAVIS Robert Di Meglio, MD Joel Rosenfeld, MD GEORGIA UROLOGY TREATING PATIENTS. HEALING PEOPLE.
