Grateful For The Summer And Grateful For You

HairQueen News

It's summertime! And that means it's time to relax and enjoy the sun! It also means it's time to protect your skin and hair with sunscreen and clarifying shampoo. Last summer, I wrote about hair care during the hot months. This summer I'm offering a little tutorial on a classic summer style!

How-To: Summer Beach Waves

Always wanted to sport that spent-the-day-at-the-beach look? Now you can!
  1. Spray Color Lover Hair Primer 11 on wet hair and apply BY Sparkling Mousse Flexible Hold on the roots. 
  2. Blow dry naturally. 
  3. With the flat iron and I.Dentity Protect.it shape the lengths without making curls, but just twisting the sections alternating clockwise and counterclockwise movements. 
  4. Smooth the fringe. 
  5. Open the sections with your fingers and finish with BY Black Lava Hair Spray Mega Hold

Client Corner:  Thank you dear Clients


I usually feature one of my clients in this part of my blog.  I love my clients, I am proud and impressed by what my clients do in life and in business.  I am honoured to be their Hairstylist or Business Consultant.

This month I am going to use my Client Corner to say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to You, my clients for trusting me.  

Someone asked me recently if I still enjoy my work.  I do. 

I enjoy the confidence of what I know and the challenge of learning something, I even enjoy practicing when I have an unusual event to do hair for like a Wedding or Halloween.



Runs Businesses with Scissors



July marks halfway through 2016.

Are you where you expected you'd be by this point in the year, both professionally and personally?

It's important to regularly reflect on your previous goals and whether you were able to achieve what you set out to achieve.

Perhaps something unexpected came up, but you were still able to handle that hurdle with focus and courage.

This is something worth recognizing in yourself and you deserve a little celebration during these beautiful summer months!



Have question on how to set and achieve you professional goals? Feel free to make an appointment with me. You can reach me at 510-545-2955 or suzanne@suzannevanhouten.com.
