Hairqueen News


What a whirlwind this past year has been!

I completely fell off writing my newsletters and Bloggs which is one of the ways I stay connected to you “beyond the chair."

Between travel and becoming a grandmother, I have been a bit distracted and have broken my own rules of staying on top of “working on my business, as well as in my business”.

Lucky for me I have the best clients in the world and my 35 years as a hairstylist have stood me in good stead in this social media frenzied world we live in today.

Yes, 35 years!

Wow I can hardly believe it! So I have truly taken stock and decided to make a decision which is momentous for me. As of January 2020 I will not longer have appointments available on Saturdays. I have been able to tell most of you in person which is my preferred way to communicate whenever possible and I truly appreciate your support and understanding.

I will be in the salon weekdays except every other Thursday when I will be in my new role as Glamma, taking care of Isla, my beautiful little grand daughter.




Isla and Glamma in our Sunday best!

Speaking of the salon, one of the newest trends this season is the Shag.

I have been reviewing the technique for this cut and it’s a fun new twist on an old trend.


Speaking of trends, grey transition is all the rage.

If you or someone you know is ready to take the plunge and give up artificial color let’s talk soon, this is one of my specialties…



This is my dear friend and client Julie. We were able to transition her gracefully from all over color to grey using a foil technique and strategic appointment planning. Her grey is so beautiful!

I have appointments available to help you get set up for a great fall look and beyond.

Let’s get ready for fall; book your appointment today:

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.                                                                                                                                              ...
