Oh What Fun, Its the Holidays!



Happy Holidays to all! I’m so excited about this holiday season and I hope you enjoy preparing for the holidays in these next few weeks.


Hair Queen News
While the holidays can be a stressful time, a relaxing visit to your hairstylist always helps. Although many of you do pre-book your appointments (thank you), I do have one or two openings in my schedule for December. Also, I am willing and able to juggle my day here or there to accommodate you outside of my online booking system. The online booking system reflects my regular appointment hours; I do hope you feel comfortable contacting me directly if you need to adjust your appointment or suddenly would like to come in. Without you I would not be the HairQueen!  

Contact me by phone at 510-444-6700, email at suzanne@suzannevanhouten.com, or book online through my website at www.suzannevanhouten.com.


Also, while doing your holiday shopping, I wanted to remind you to shop local in Oakland, specifically Old Oakland where Swans Studios is located. It is a great area to find interesting items for those “hard to shop for” types, plus you will be helping the local economy. Click here for more info about Old Oakland. 

 Story of the Month
Step 2

Do you want to get that fresh salon blow dry every day of the week? Well here are a few easy, fast blow dry steps for you to get that great look whenever you want in just five minutes.
  • Step 1 - Apply Framesi BY Pearl Hydro Gel in wet (towel dried) hair, comb through evenly
  • Step 2 - Use a vent brush to blow dry hair in opposite direction of natural growth, tip head upside down, and get as much volume as possible.
  • Step 3 - Apply Framesi ID styling paste, use fingers to finger style
    • Step 3 & 4!
  • Step 4 - Smile at yourself and have a great hair day!
The Framesi products and vent brush that I use to get this look are all available at the salon so if you are interested in purchasing, please let me know the next time you are in.

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.                                                                                                                                              ...
