Reopening Update

Dear Clients and Friends,  

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time in our lives.

I, like you, am anxious to return to my routines.  I am also incredibly cognizant of the recent events in the country and cannot in good conscience ignore how devastating the murder of George Floyd has been to the black community.  I am safe and my home and salon are safe.  

LaTasha and Diane are safe.  We are grateful to have each other. We continue to love and support each other during Covid-19’s impact on our businesses and the countries unrest.

Governor Gavin Newsom delivered the news that hair salons can open in some counties in California however, Alameda County is not included in this current phase of reopening. There is one more phase before we will be allowed to reopen. You can read more about the various phases for Alameda County here.  

If you have a June appointment I will contact you to postpone it and make future arrangements.

Swans Studios is ready to re-open, we have been discussing and planning our sanitation protocols for the health and safety of all.  You will receive a detailed list of what to expect at your next salon visit.

Getting ready to reopen when restrictions are lifted!
Please hang on a little longer with your longer hair.  
As a career salon professional and industry leader with best practices, I am waiting for the ban to be lifted to return to my business.  There are no exceptions to this rule.

I will be temporarily expanding my schedule once we re-open to give time for the extra sanitation steps and to accommodate you — my wonderful clients.

(BTW I have postponed my month in Santa Cruz to 2021, so I get to be 59 for another year!)

I am available for a phone call or by zoom if you have any questions or concerns.

Email: suzanne@suzannevanhouten.com  or 
Call me at 510-545-2955

My online store is open — click here to visit!
Online booking is open too — click here to visit my appointment booking calendar.

Until we meet again, be safe and be well.

In gratitude,

Love, 
Suzanne

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.                                                                                                                                              ...
