What, Summer Is Over!


HairQueen News


Gosh, it has been a while since I have written a blog. In fact it was in the Summer, in July. Now it is Autumn, and so much has happened.


Happily, my lovely daughter got engaged, so I get to be the mother-of-the bride! No, I’m not doing the hair for the wedding day. I am going to get my hair done, and I’m so excited.  Stay tuned for wedding updates.

Sadly, my dearest brother passed away.  His name was Kevin and I was very fond of him.  The good news about being self-employed is one must carry on. The bad news about being self-employed is one must carry on.  

Last, but not least, because of changes in the crew at Swans Studios, we did a little construction and Swans Studios is even better than before.

What a whirlwind summer in the wheel of my personal and professional life. 

 I am humbled by the wonderful support of my family, friends, and you my clients, as I've celebrated and mourned and managed and struggled and carried on.

Thank you, thank you.

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.                                                                                                                                              ...
