Here We Go Again

Hairqueen News



Sitting not standing for now



Here we go again, we are in another shut down ordered by the County of Alameda Public Health Department, for more information click here: https://acphd.org


If you have an appointment with me this month I have or I will contact you.


We received the news earlier this week and  I needed a day or two to grapple with this latest set back for the salon  industry.  


With rising cases and hospitals at risk of being overrun I understand the need for all of us to reduce our footprint and stay home.


I appreciate your tremendous patronage and support especially this past year.


We will open again in 2021.


Stay healthy and safe and care for one another.

Visit this site again soon and I will be posting some of the before and afters I created during the time that I was re-opened.  Here's a couple of sneak peeks:

After





This lovely client came to me for a one day transformation from previously colored hair to all over grey. 








Long Locks

Short And Sassy

This delightful client was ready to cut off all the grown out artificial hair color and embrace her grey!


What will we do for you in 2021!

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.
