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.

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. ...
