BEVERLY HILLS, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 29, 2008 -- Salon City, Inc. (OTC BB:SLON.OB - News) announced today the results of a recent poll conducted by its flagship publication, Salon City magazine, amongst thousands of independent beautymakers, media, main street business owners, and clients. The four-day online survey concluded on 28 September. With 76% of those surveyed responding, results indicated that presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and vice-presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK) tied at 38% regarding the question: Who cares most about beauty, truth, and goodness? This is a key psychographic issue concerning who America can trust to have a conscious appreciation for those values.

Due to the current economic meltdown, 42% felt that growing the economy was the most important issue facing America. Energy independence (15%) and national security (9%) followed. When asked to rank the most pressing issues in the race for president, "a plan for the future" and "a vision for America" were highest on the list, followed by political reform, healthcare, more jobs, border security, and an ability to unite the nation.

"The poll demonstrated that the small business community -- which includes salon owners and entrepreneurial beauty business owners -- cares deeply about the forward movement our country needs to take," noted Salon City publisher and editor-in-chief, Steven Casciola. "Of those polled, 87% say they intend to vote."

"Beautymakers hold a strong level of influence over clients and others in their communities," Casciola continued. "Taken together, they represent the true Main Street. Many of those clients are also connected to Wall Street, so they have their fingers on the pulse of America -- from the grassroots level on up to the top of the political ladder."
