Break Out of Your Comfort Zone!

HairQueen News

 

Are you in a hairstyle rut? Is the length of your hair the same as it was a year ago? Are you rocking the same color that you did 10 years ago? Perhaps you are in a style rut. It happens from time to time. We get used to a routine and time slips away from us. As the new season is here, now is a great time to refresh your look and step out of your comfort zone. It can be hard to change, especially a drastic one, but we all need to keep it new and fresh every once in a while. I challenge you to try something new the next time you are in the salon. Whether its a new color, a shorter length, or a new sweepy bang look, try something new to go along with the new season of Spring!


 

Product of the Month

With your new look you may need a new product to help you maintain your style. With that in mind, all my gels, mousses, waxes, and pomades will be 10% off through April and May. 



 

 

Runs Businesses with Scissors


In business it would be great if everything was running so smoothly that it just stayed that way, but that’s not very realistic. There are so many external factors that can affect various aspects of how you run your business that you have to stay on your toes and stay calm. If you panic with every change that comes along it will add stress and unnecessary strain. So stay calm, ready, willing and able to adapt to changes. 

I am excited to help you with keeping your business skills sharp, so you can continue to provide your clients with the best experiences, as you run a successful business for yourself and your team. I have simplified my consulting billing structure to a less complicated system.  Hourly rates are available for individual hours as well as discounted rates for more than one session. 

As always, for more information visit my website www.suzannevanhouten.com, and to book a consulting appointment please call me at 510-545-2955 or email me at suzanne@suzannevanhouten.com

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.                                                                                                                                              ...
