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.

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. ...
