When In Roma


Rome - Celio

Hairqueen News

A week in Rome was just what the hair doctor ordered.  It was a glorious week of unplugging from everyday life and immersing myself in the sites, sounds, smells and tastes of Roma!

My husband Michael and I walked over 10,000 steps a day navigating the cobbled streets, piazzas, ruins, restaurants, shops and tourist destinations.

Everywhere I went I looked at heads of hair and clothing styles that would inspire me and pump up my creative juices for my return home.

I have to say I felt at home in Roma, my formative years as an English girl were fed from deep within my bones and I loved it.

I returned home with fresh ideas and my muscles of creativity and inspiration well exercised.

Come see me and we'll add a little Roma to your Spring Look!

We toured Fendi Headquarters!

Runs Businesses With Scissors


I am breathing a huge sigh of relief!  Swans Studios is full again and it feels so good.  I've been in this game for long enough to know that you must always recruit, recruit, recruit especially when business is solid.  

Stylists and clients come and go, life happens and it's not personal even if it feels like it.

Are you working on your business as well as in your business, if not, why not?

Need some support as you tackle the day to day ups and downs, the wins and losses of business life?

Feel free to contact me through phone or email: 510-545-2955 or suzanne@suzannevanhouten.com.

 I always love to hear from 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 busy life and I am grateful t

Salon Suite Opportunity

HairQueen News Hello, I hope your 2023 is off to a good start! I trust you had a lovely holiday season, seems like an age ago now?  My very best wishes to you for a peaceful and delightful 2023. My holiday season was festive and especially fun with a one year old and a three and half year old, (granddaughters are the best.) I cannot help but marvel at how little time I seemed to have with my new “tip of my scissors schedule”, as I prepped for the holidays and wrapped up the year for Swans Studios.  Its true retirement life is a busy life.
