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!

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.                                                                                                                                              ...
