April Showers

HairQueen News

It is Spring and time to think about a Spring Haircut or Fresh Spring Hair Color.  Recently I took a Balayage Class to freshen up my color skills.  Balayage means to "sweep" or "paint" in French.  With this technique I am able to create softer less noticeable regrowth lines.  This is especially helpful for blond and silver haired clients. The principal idea being less is more when creating soft natural looks.  Although of course as is often the case to create something simple takes time, technique, and expertise.  If you would like find out if this technique is right for you, let's talk at your next hair appointment.

In the meantime here is a recent example of a Balayage for a Brunette whose hair I have been reverting from all over Color to Prestige Silver and Brunette.

Hair Promotion

My long time client, Chuck, a deadhead and all around good guy, wrote a little ditty for me called,
"She Loves To Put The Product In Your Hair".

It's true, I do because:

  • A good product supports a good haircut. 
  • A good product supports a finished hairstyle.
  • A good product adds shine and texture and hold.
  • A good product makes you look dashing and sexy and young and fabulous.

For the month of April, I'm offering a Buy One Get One 15% Off promotion on all Framesi BY products.  Next time you are in, let's talk about the perfect BY Framesi styling product for you.




Runs Businesses With Scissors

There are periods of time as a small business owner that things seem to sail along so nicely and then boom it hits and all hell breaks loose!  I recently had a situation like that and it was so hard.  Oh, I wanted to walk away from it, but I could not because I was the boss of the situation and I had to take care of my business.  I took my time responding to the situation and I reached out for help.  Thank goodness I have my support systems and support people in place.  I am humbled that even after all theses years, many ups and downs, successes and failures, I am still learning that I can be caught by surprise. Once more I had to dust off my management skills, roll up my sleeves, and jump in.


Consulting Promotion


You did it made to another tax deadline, despite the day to day running of your business, the ups and downs, the success and and failures. To ease the pain a bit, for the month of April, I'm offering a Schedule One Get One $15 Off promotion.

The only caveat is that one of the appointments must be scheduled for the month of April. So if you schedule two appointments at once, and one of the appointments is scheduled for April, the total order will be discounted by $15.  Every little bit helps right?

Come on make your appointment now and keep up with the super success of your business.  Remember it is as important to work on your business as in your business.  Call me or email me now: 510-545-2955 or suzanne@suzannevanhouten.com.

Retirement Life

HairQueen News On October 1 2022 after 40 plus years of working full-time I stepped way-back from the salon chair and way-into retirement life.   As the date grew closer, I was and still am all over the place with so many feelings and uncertainties about how to navigate this next stage. To mark the occasion of my retirement I had a wonderful party, please see the previous blog, Endings and Beginnings.  Next, I went on a celebratory trip which included a week sailing the Atlantic Ocean on the Queen Mary 2.  So exciting! Crossing the Atlantic Ocean Gala Time Upon my return I am turning my attention to what it means to be an older, wiser, experienced, master of my trade.  As space in my life opens up I will take the opportunity to grow Swans Studios, to mentor, coach and consult within and beyond the salon industry. With more free time I will enjoy my granddaughters, my family, friends and hobbies. I know from many of you that the retired life is a ...

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.                                                                                                                                              ...
