Runs Business with Scissors


Consulting News

Hello super busy stylists and salon owners,


It is time, actually past time to pause and review how you and your business are doing and to set a goal or two for 2020.



Whenever I do this I am reminded that I run my business, my business does not run me.

It takes discipline to do this exercise because when your day behind-the-chair is at capacity and your personal life is ticking along nicely why would you change anything at all? Or conversely your day behind-the-chair is not at capacity and your personal life is a mess how on earth can you find time to change anything at all?

Here are a few reasons why:

1.     You want to make more money.
2.     You want to work smarter not harder.
3.     You want to remember why you love to do hair.
4.     You want more time with your family and friends.
5.     You want to improve your skills.
6.     You want to travel more.
7.     You want to understand where your money goes.
8.     You want to start a retirement fund.
9.     You want to laugh more and stress less.
10.  You need a change.

It is always amazing to me that when I take the time to check in with my coach and actually sit down to review where I am today and where I want to go that the miracles happen.

Ready for a miracle?  Ready for a coaching session?

Contact me today and let’s take steps towards the change you want to happen.

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.                                                                                                                                              ...
