County Update


We Wait

 Dear Clients and Friends,

We wait.  I miss you, I am doing all I can to return to my business and you.


See you soon!


The State has approved indoor hair services the County has not.

As soon as I have the green light I will open my door and reopen my appointment book.  In the meantime if you have an up coming appointment I will contact you.

Once we reopen it will be a new normal -

  • You will arrive with hair freshly shampooed for a haircut service
  • Masks on at all times
  • Temperature check upon arrival
  • Hand sanitation upon arrival
  • Bring only what you need with you
  • No blowdrying
  • Touch less payments
  • All high touch services, implements and tools will be sanitized prior and following all services
I have talked with some of you and I hear your concerns and about health and safety.  I am PPE ready.  A big part of the Cosmetology Exam is Sanitation.  And like you I am cautious about my own health and safety.  We will work together for our combined health, safety and beauty.

I look forward to seeing how your hair looks!

I imagine we will have some fun with new looks for 2020!



Let's tame those Covid Locks :)





Thank you for your amazing support and patience as we all navigate life in these times.

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.                                                                                                                                              ...
