What, Summer Is Over!


HairQueen News


Gosh, it has been a while since I have written a blog. In fact it was in the Summer, in July. Now it is Autumn, and so much has happened.


Happily, my lovely daughter got engaged, so I get to be the mother-of-the bride! No, I’m not doing the hair for the wedding day. I am going to get my hair done, and I’m so excited.  Stay tuned for wedding updates.

Sadly, my dearest brother passed away.  His name was Kevin and I was very fond of him.  The good news about being self-employed is one must carry on. The bad news about being self-employed is one must carry on.  

Last, but not least, because of changes in the crew at Swans Studios, we did a little construction and Swans Studios is even better than before.

What a whirlwind summer in the wheel of my personal and professional life. 

I am humbled by the wonderful support of my family, friends, and you my clients, as I've celebrated and mourned and managed and struggled and carried on.

Thank you, thank you.
