You Are Gold

To me clients are Gold.  


Salon clients truly are the Gold at the end of the rainbow.

I am half Irish and tis with the luck of the Irish I have Gold clients in my chair!


Speaking of the chair I thought I would let you know what I have been up to this past month.  

I attended two product knowledge classes and a hair show.  The classes were on the product lines that we retail at Right Angle Salon, they are Unite and Kevin Murphy.  Both lines have sulfate free, paraben free and vegan shampoos, conditioners and styling products.  

Just in case you do not know, when you purchase products at the Right Angle you automatically receive 10% off, as a salon client. 


The hair show was produced by Unite, founder and veteran hair stylist Andrew Dale and his team.   It was on a sunday afternoon, but that did not stop the Right Angle hair stylists from attending.


Dale and his team demonstrated runway hairstyles and spring haircuts in a creative, motivational showcase. 





Speaking of showcase maybe you would like to see an example or two of my recent work?


First, I will show you a before and after hi-lite, low-lite hair color with a quote from my client.



Before


  This lovely client had lost her hairdresser 
    and was trying to do her hair herself.

 After

I love the new color. it is 1000% better. I can't wait until my next appointment to see how it progresses. I will be in San Diego this weekend. I will try to get someoneto take a picture of it completely dry and send it to you.

And second here is a fun, purple bob!

Sorry, I do not have a before picture for this client but we had to take an after picture because she was so tickled to go from a long brunette to a short purple bob!

I loved how happy she was to go for such a dramatic change!




Yes - clients are Gold!

Bad Hair Days Happen In Between The Good Hair Days

 Hairqueen News My transition into retirement continues, it’s a bit like growing out your hair or your hair color.  It’s exciting at first to try something new, but then the reality sets in, your bangs are in your eyes, your grey is showing.  Will you like the new look, will you feel like yourself, will you regret it and go back? The only way to find out is to try. I find in my retired life, like growing out hair there are some bad hair days.  On those days, I miss my color bowls and foils, the sounds and the smells of the salon. And all of you. Yet, I’m grateful that my one-day-a-week schedule continues to be a win, win. I get to see some of you and I get my salon fix.  Just last week I cut a super cute pixie from a bob, (that’s short hair from mid-length hair for those of you not in the know :). This month I've had the chance to review and reduce my inventory. I have some items on sale at 25% off. Come by and shop or contact me for more information. ...

Endings and Beginnings

HairQueen News: I celebrated a big milestone, forty years of being a hairstylist and 25 years as a business owner. I was planning to completely retire but then I decided to keep the “tip of my scissors” in for a while longer. This decision means I am free to step into a new phase of life as I gradually let go of my wonderful salon career. We had a party — it was fantastic! I loved every minute. My heart overflowed as my clients, colleagues, and family helped me mark this major career milestone.                                                                                                                                              ...
